Akzent gold-tone women's watch 33 mm faux leather strap

If you like a watch that looks put together without trying too hard, this one is probably for you. It suits the woman who reaches for the same favourite shirt or soft knit most mornings and wants a small touch of warmth on her wrist to go with it.

The round case is gold-tone metal and measures 33 mm across, which sits neatly on most wrists without looking oversized. It is only 8 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff easily and doesn't catch on sleeves. Akzent has paired it with a blue dial, a calm, versatile shade that works as happily with denim as it does with a smarter outfit.

The strap is brown faux leather, soft against the skin and a good match for the gold-tone case. It fastens with a classic buckle clasp, so you can set it at the fit that feels right for you. If you already wear gold-tone jewellery, the watch sits comfortably alongside it, and if you are curious about similar looks, you can browse the rest of our gold-tone women's watches for more ideas.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which keeps things simple. There is nothing to wind and nothing to set up beyond the time itself, and you only need to think about the battery now and then.

The watch has 3 ATM water resistance, which is enough to cope with the odd splash, such as washing your hands or catching a light shower. It is not meant for swimming or for wearing in the shower, so take it off before those.

It is an easy, friendly watch to live with day to day, the sort you put on in a hurry and still feel well dressed. Brown, blue and gold-tone make a quietly pretty combination, and it would also make a thoughtful gift for someone who likes understated style.
