Akzent silver-tone women's watch plastic strap

At 40 mm across, this Akzent has real presence on the wrist. The round metal case with its silver-tone dial is a confident size, the sort that reads as a deliberate style choice rather than a delicate afterthought. Arabic numerals and baton indexes share the dial, so you can check the time at a glance, and a mineral glass sits over it to protect the face.

The white plastic strap keeps things fresh and light, and it stays comfortable when the weather warms up. It is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 19 cm in total, and a deployant clasp closes it in one click. White against silver-tone is an easy pairing with jeans and a T-shirt, a linen shirt or a summer dress. If you like the sporty look, have a browse through our women's sports watches for more in the same spirit. It also makes a pleasant gift for someone who likes a fashionable watch.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, reliable and fuss-free: all it asks for is a new battery from time to time. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough for splashes, but keep it off for showers and swimming.
