Cheap Akzent black watch for women grey faux leather strap

This one is for the woman who wants a watch that works as hard as she does: the one who goes from the office to a dinner without a change of plan, and who likes her accessories understated. The Akzent has a black metal case with a soft grey faux leather strap, and a white dial that keeps everything clear and uncluttered. It is inexpensive, yet it looks tidy and considered on the wrist.

The dial is easy to read at a glance, with Arabic numerals and slim baton markers. At 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case sits neatly without dominating your wrist. The black finish is achieved by ion plating, which gives it a smooth, even look. The grey strap is 17 mm wide, flexible and simple to look after, and it closes with a classic pin buckle. Black and grey pair easily with jeans, a blazer or a little dress, so it rarely sits in the drawer.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, accurate and low-fuss: all you will ever need to do is change the battery now and then. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so a sudden downpour is no problem, but take it off for the shower or a swim. The whole watch measures 22 cm end to end.
