Guess W1070L1 Women's Watch
Ref. W1070L1
A 40mm solar-powered watch is an unusual thing at this end of the market — solar movements are typically reserved for watches that take sustainability seriously, and the charge-and-forget ownership it affords suits a piece worn every day on a steel bracelet. The silver sunray dial reflects differently depending on the angle, which gives a plain silver surface more to look at than its description suggests. At 40mm it sits wider than most women's watches in this category, and the deployant clasp means it fastens securely rather than relying on a fold-over that shifts on the wrist through the day.

Learn more about Guess
The Marciano brothers founded Guess in Los Angeles in 1981, building it on denim and advertising that became as well known as the clothes.
The watch line is produced in-house through Guess Watches and Sequel AG, and follows the brand's aesthetic closely: crystal-set bezels, heavy gold and rose gold plating, oversized cases, and dials that favour decoration over legibility. Movements are quartz.
The watches are priced as accessories and sold as such.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
