Akzent gold-tone women's watch white faux leather 38 mm

At 38 mm across, this Akzent watch sits comfortably between delicate and statement. It is a round case with real presence on the wrist, yet at only 8 mm thick it slips easily under a cuff or a knitted sleeve, and it weighs just 30 g, so you will soon forget you are wearing it.

The case is gold-tone metal, which gives the whole watch a warm glow, and the dial is a clean white with fine hour markers that keep things light and uncluttered. It is the kind of dial that goes with almost anything in your wardrobe, from a crisp shirt to a simple summer dress. If you like that warm metallic touch, you will find more in our women's gold-tone watches.

The white faux leather strap is soft and flexible, and easy to look after, a quick wipe is usually all it needs. It is 14 mm wide, and the pin buckle clasp lets you adjust the fit hole by hole until it feels just right. Measured end to end with the watch included, it comes to 24 cm.

Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and fuss-free, with an analogue display and a mineral glass that stands up to scratches better than plastic. The water resistance is 3 ATM, which means it can cope with splashes and the odd shower of rain, but it should stay on the shelf when you swim or bathe.

It works just as well at the office as it does at a weekend lunch or an evening out. It also makes a thoughtful present for a birthday, or simply for someone who deserves a little treat.
