Cheap Akzent purple women's watch faux leather strap

Purple is easier to wear than you might think. This Akzent watch has a purple dial and a matching purple strap, and it works best against neutrals: grey knitwear, a navy coat, black jeans, a crisp white shirt. The colour does the talking, so you can keep the rest of the outfit simple.

The round case is 38 mm across and 8 mm thick, which gives it a clear presence on the wrist without looking oversized. Arabic numerals on the dial make the time quick to read. The case is metal, and the strap is faux leather, light and flexible, fastened with a classic pin buckle. It is also an inexpensive way to add a bold colour to your everyday style.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to set up beyond the time. The mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes and handwashing. Take it off before showering or swimming.
