Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without being fussy? This Akzent watch is an easy win. It has a soft grey dial, a slim black strap and a neat round case, so it suits almost anyone who likes their accessories understated. It is also inexpensive, which means you can choose it for a friend, a sister or yourself without a second thought.
The dial is where the personality sits. The grey background is calm and goes with most colours in a wardrobe, from navy knitwear to a white shirt to a dark dress. Arabic numerals make the time quick to read, so a glance at your wrist is all it takes between meetings or on the way out of the door.
Around it, the case is metal in a silver tone, 36 mm across and 8 mm thick. That is a size you notice without it taking over, and it sits comfortably under a cuff. The silver-tone finish sits well with the grey and the black. If you enjoy that cool, metallic look, have a browse through our silver-tone watches for women too.
The black faux leather strap is light and flexible, so it feels easy on the wrist from morning to evening. It fastens with a classic pin buckle, which lets you pick the hole that fits you best. It gives the watch a timeless look that works at the office, at the weekend and at dinner.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps time accurately without any winding or fuss, and the display is analogue. The water resistance is 3 ATM, so a splash or a shower of rain is no problem. It is best taken off for swimming or bathing. In short, it is a simple, good-looking watch that is just as nice to give as to receive.
