Elegant, yet eye-catching. The new model by the world-famous brand, Guess Jewelry, might not be as lavish as we are used to, but it still has clear elements of GC.

Design

It is more than clear that design is the main thing in mind when choosing a Guess watch. The Jewelry model will immediately catch your eye with the interesting opening through the glass and the case back. Such a thing is not typical with Guess watches and will attract your attention.

On the other hand, a thing that we are used to with Guess watches is the lavish decorations. Many stones, glinting, and high amount of extravagance. It is clear that the Jewelry model bears the name brand Guess, but it is a rather elegant watch, I almost want to say a decent one. Well, for a Guess watch.

However, there is enough of decorative stones. They were put into the window, meaning around the dial, instead of traditional indices, and also into the first link of the steel bracelet. The other links have a decorative design instead.

The dial itself is small with sunburst finish and narrow hands. It is surprisingly well legible, despite my fear of the hands blending in with the background. Of course, you could find a watch with more of a contrast, but most of the time, I had no problem telling the time.

Both the case and the bracelet is made from stainless steel, and the overall design is a classic among fashion brands. There is nothing that would be an unpleasant surprise for you, on the other hand, it won't make you excited by having much detail.

There is one thing that bothered me, and that is how Guess dealt with, or rather did not deal with, hiding the movement. As the dial is partially made of glass and having the back side also made of glass, the movement had to be concealed on both sides.

In my opinion, neither of the sides came out perfect. On the back side, there is some kind of a sticker and the view is... industrial, let's say. However, the movement being visible from the face side is more annoying since I would expect a clean and nice look.

That being said, it is not that noticeable when on hand, and you will notice it only after a more detailed inspection. The movement is naturally a quartz one. The already mentioned label also tells you that the watch is water resistant. So, the watch can handle little encounters with water, like washing your hands or rain.

Bracelet

As I've already mentioned, the bracelet is made from polished surgical steel. The first two links around the case are fixed, so the bracelet does not bend right around it. That was also the reason why I was afraid that the watch wouldn't fit my 14.5 cm / 5.7" small wrist.

However, as the case is a smaller one (33 mm / 1.3"), the size fit me well and the watch as well. Plus, many women will appreciate the decorations on the bracelet, which puts the watch a bit into the jewellery field.

Looking at this from the practical point of view, we need to consider that we cannot change it for a different one, a universal one, easily, but need to always find one intended for the brand. That being said, not even a leather strap would look nice in combination with this watch. On the other hand, if you're opting for a Guess watch with a decorative bracelet, you probably wouldn't want a different one.

Alternatives

Guess is a fashion brand, which means that it is typical of it to release multiple collections throughout the year. The Guess Jewelry is a new arrival for the autumn/winter 2022 season, along with a few interesting pieces.

Most of the time, we can see the characteristic triangle from the Guess logo. Guess thinks of it so fondly that a triangular watch was released.

We can find some geometric shapes when looking at the Guess Deco model. It looks like an Apple Watch with only one feature, right?

There are countless decorative watches. Among bold ones are for example the Guess Sol model or the Guess Queen, which also comes in extravagant colour shades.
