Akzent gold-tone women's watch faux leather Arabic numerals

The case of this Akzent watch is a metal one, finished in gold-tone, and it measures just 8 mm thick, so it sits flat under a cuff. Its rectangular shape is the first thing you notice, because most watches at this level are round. The dial is white with gold-tone detailing and Arabic numerals, which makes the time easy to read at a glance. A mineral glass covers the dial.

The strap is white faux leather, 20 mm wide, with a classic pin buckle clasp that lets you set the length hole by hole. Total length is 23.5 cm including the watch, and the whole piece weighs only 34 g. Faux leather is flexible and simple to look after, and the white strap against the gold-tone case keeps the look light and clean rather than loud.

Inside is a Y121 quartz movement with an analogue display, a straightforward choice that needs no winding or setting beyond the time itself. It is a watch that goes with everyday outfits without much thought, whether you wear it with knitwear, a shirt or a summer dress.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes and a shower of rain. Take it off before showering or swimming. If you like the warm metal tone and want to compare other designs, you can browse our gold-tone watches for women and see how the shapes and dials differ.
