Cheap Akzent gold-tone women's watch 37 mm faux leather

It is a Monday morning, you are reaching for your keys, and a quick glance at your wrist tells you the time without any fuss. That is the idea behind this Akzent women's watch: a gold-tone dial with Arabic numerals and baton markers, easy to read in a second, and a brown strap that keeps the whole look warm rather than flashy.

The round case measures 37 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it sits with a bit of presence on the wrist without feeling bulky. The case is gold-tone too, which suits the rest of your gold-tone jewellery if you like your pieces to match. The strap is brown faux leather, light and supple, 18 mm wide, and it closes with a classic pin buckle so you can set the fit hole by hole. The total length is 22 cm including the watch, and the whole thing weighs just 39 g.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps time reliably with an analogue display. Turn the watch over and the transparent case back shows the mechanism at work. A mineral glass protects the dial from the knocks of everyday life.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes, but take it off before a shower or a swim. It is an inexpensive watch, but it works for the office, a weekend lunch and most outfits in between.
