Cheap Akzent yellow ladies' watch faux leather strap

At 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, this Akzent watch sits on the larger side for a women's watch. The round case gives it a visible presence on the wrist, closer to an oversize look than a dainty one, and the slim profile keeps it from feeling bulky under a cuff.

The dial is yellow, a clear, bright shade that works as the one colour accent in an otherwise simple outfit. It carries Arabic numerals, so the time reads at a glance, and the silver-tone markers stand out well against the yellow background.

The case is metal in a silver-tone finish, which links it to the rest of the women's silver-tone watches in the shop. Silver-tone against yellow is a tidy pairing, and the black strap steadies the whole look.

That strap is black faux leather, 18 mm wide, and the watch measures 29 cm from end to end. It closes with a classic pin buckle, so you can fine-tune the fit as you wear it. Faux leather is soft against the skin and easy to live with day to day.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means accurate timekeeping without winding. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough for splashes and handwashing. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

It is an inexpensive watch, but the details are properly sorted, and the size and colour make it easy to wear from the office to the weekend. If you would like it to stay in good shape, our care advice is worth a read.
