Akzent gold-tone women's watch faux leather strap 31 mm

Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without being fussy? This Akzent women's watch is an easy yes for a birthday, a thank-you or a treat to yourself. A gold-tone case against a black dial is the sort of pairing that looks considered, and it will sit happily next to whatever she already wears.

The round case measures 31 mm across and 8 mm thick, which gives it a neat, present-but-not-pushy size on the wrist. The case is metal in a warm gold-tone finish, and the black dial keeps things crisp. Arabic numerals mark the hours, so you can read the time in a glance, whether you are on a train platform or halfway through a meeting.

The strap is black faux leather, soft and light, 12 mm wide. It fastens with a classic pin buckle, so you choose the exact hole that feels right and adjust it as the day goes on. Laid flat, the watch measures 23 cm from end to end.

Inside sits a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means no winding and no fuss. It simply ticks along, steady and reliable, and the black and gold-tone combination moves easily from office to evening.

On the practical side, water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. That is enough to cope with splashes and the odd rain shower, but not for showering or swimming, so take it off before you get in the water.

If gold-tone is her colour and you would like to compare a few styles before you decide, have a look at our collection of women's gold-tone watches. This Akzent is a simple, pretty choice for anyone who likes a little warmth on the wrist.
