Akzent gold-tone women's watch black dial faux leather strap

If you like your accessories small, neat and a little bit glamorous, this Akzent women's watch is aimed squarely at you. It suits anyone with a slim wrist who finds most watches too big and too busy, and who wants one clean flash of gold-tone to lift an outfit without shouting about it.

The round case is gold-tone metal and measures just 30 mm across, with a thickness of 7 mm. That is slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching, and light enough that you will forget it is there. The whole watch weighs 29 g.

Against the gold-tone case, the black dial does the dressing up. It is plain, dark and easy to read, with small dots marking the hours rather than heavy numerals. It looks equally at home with jeans and a jumper on a Saturday or a little black dress on a Friday night.

The strap is black faux leather, 18 mm wide, soft against the skin and simple to wipe clean. It fastens with a classic pin buckle, so you can adjust it exactly how you like. Laid flat, the watch measures 24 cm from end to end.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means steady, no-fuss timekeeping and nothing to wind. The mineral glass over the dial helps guard it against the everyday knocks of bags, doors and desks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so a splash or a sudden shower is fine, but take it off before showering or swimming.
