Cheap black Akzent women's watch 38 mm red faux leather

This is a watch you can put on in the morning and forget about. It weighs just 32 g, the case is 9 mm thick and the 38 mm diameter sits neatly under a cuff or a jumper sleeve. The strap is red faux leather, 14 mm wide, and closes with a classic pin buckle, so adjusting it takes a second. Fully extended, the watch measures 22.5 cm, which suits most wrists comfortably.

The look is simple and deliberate. A round black metal case frames a black dial, and the strap brings in a single strong colour. There are no numerals, only grey hour markers that stand out clearly against the dark background, so the time is easy to read at a glance. Black and red work from a weekday office outfit to an evening out, and because the styling is restrained, this women's watch goes with plain knitwear as readily as with a dress. It is a good fit if you like a strap that makes a statement while the dial stays quiet. You will find similar styles in our women's leather strap watches.

Inside is a Y121 quartz movement with an analogue display, which keeps good time without any fuss, and a mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM: it will cope with rain and splashes, but take it off before a shower or a swim. The brand is Akzent, and at this size and finish it is an inexpensive way to add a dependable everyday watch to your collection.
