Cheap Akzent silver-tone women's watch 36 mm metal bracelet

If you like your accessories to work hard without making a fuss, this watch is probably meant for you. It suits the woman who wants one dependable piece on her wrist from the morning commute to a dinner with friends, and who would rather not spend ages deciding what goes with what.

The silver-tone finish is the heart of it. The round case and the dial share the same cool shade, so everything looks of a piece, and it sits happily alongside jeans and a knit as much as a smart blouse. Akzent has kept the face clean and legible, with Arabic numerals and baton markers taking turns around the dial, so you can read the time at a glance.

At 36 mm across, it is noticeable without ever feeling oversized. The case is 9 mm thick, which keeps it neat under a cuff or a jumper sleeve. If you are after something with a similar look, you will find more to try in our women's silver-tone watches.

The metal bracelet is made of silver-tone links and gives the watch a polished, grown-up feel. It is 22 mm wide, and the total length including the case is 19 cm. A folding clasp holds it securely, so it is not going to slip off your wrist when you take it off or put it on.

Inside, there is a quartz movement, which keeps good time and needs no attention from you. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches. It is a very inexpensive watch, yet it feels like something you have chosen with care.

On the practical side, the water resistance is 3 ATM, which means it will cope with a splash or a sudden shower. Please take it off for the shower, a swim or anything involving water for longer than that, and it will keep looking its best for a long time.
