Akzent grey women's watch green faux leather strap

At 38 mm across and just 8 mm thick, this Akzent sits on the wrist the way a good everyday watch should: noticeable without taking over. It is a round watch with a slim profile, so it slips under a cuff without any fuss and still looks properly finished when your sleeves are pushed up.

The first thing you see is the green dial, fresh and easy to read at a glance. The markers are fine and the face is kept clean, so the colour does the talking. Around it, the grey metal case gives a cool, quiet frame that lets the green stand out.

The strap is green faux leather, soft against the skin and 14 mm wide. It closes with a classic pin buckle, the kind you can fasten in a second without thinking about it. From end to end the watch measures 24 cm, and it weighs only 30 g, which you will barely register after the first few minutes.

Inside is a quartz movement, the Y121, an accurate and straightforward choice where all you ever need to do is change the battery now and then. The glass is mineral, and the display is analogue, with no extras to learn.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with a splash or a spot of rain. Showers and swimming are best done without it, so take it off before you do either.

This is a watch for the whole week, from a Monday shirt to a Saturday jumper, and the green adds a little personality to neutral outfits. It also makes a lovely gift, for someone else or for yourself. If you enjoy the look of a strap with a softer feel, you can browse more women's watches with leather straps in the shop.
