Cheap Akzent grey ladies' watch metal bracelet dot markers

Run a fingertip along the bracelet and you meet cool, smooth metal, made up of silver-tone links that sit flat against the wrist and catch the light as you move. That metal is the whole personality of this Akzent women's watch. Above it, the grey dial keeps things calm and easy to read, with dot markers and Arabic numerals so the face stays clean and uncluttered. The silver-tone case is only 9 mm thick, so it slips under a shirt cuff without any fuss.

It is a style that works from Monday morning right through to Saturday night. Grey and silver-tone are quiet colours, so the watch pairs just as happily with a knit and jeans as with a smarter work outfit. And since it is an inexpensive watch, you can wear it freely without worrying about every knock and scuff. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and the whole watch measures 20 cm, and you adjust the fit by removing a few links. If you are not sure how many to take out, our watch size guide walks you through it. A clip clasp closes with a simple press.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps accurate time with no winding and no special care. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The dial is protected by a mineral glass. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers splashes and the odd shower of rain, but it should come off before you shower or swim. Analogue, simple and made for everyday wear, it is a straightforward way to add a little metal shine to your wrist.
