Guess women’s watches – styles and how to choose

Guess women’s watches are primarily fashion accessories, with plenty of gold, rose-gold and silver tones, sparkle, texture and a recognisable logo. Consider three things when choosing: whether you want a small jewellery-like watch or a larger statement watch, whether you prefer a metal bracelet or leather strap, and what tone of jewellery you wear. Our Guess women’s watches are priced at around €90–270.

Guess at a glance

Guess is an American fashion brand founded in 1981 by the Marciano brothers, who had moved to America from the south of France. The brand is known for jeans, clothing and accessories. Guess watches celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2024. Appearance is central to a Guess watch: it complements an outfit in the same way as a bracelet or bag.

Small and jewellery-like

If you want your watch to look like jewellery, choose a small case and narrow strap.

• Guess Penelope GW0925L1 – a small oval silver-tone case, black sunburst dial and narrow black leather strap. Understated and elegant, suitable for work and evening events alike.
• Guess GW0534L1 – a silver-tone 28 mm watch with a white dial, fine mesh bracelet and small sparkling details. According to the manufacturer, the mesh bracelet is easy to adjust yourself.

Logo classics

Many Guess watches feature the brand’s logo, making them instantly recognisable. According to the manufacturer’s description, the next two models have Guess’s four-G logo in the centre of the dial, over a crocodile-pattern texture.

• Guess GW0860L1 – 36 mm, with a black-and-gold colour scheme. Pairs well with black clothing and gold jewellery.
• Guess GW0861L5 – 36 mm, two-tone, with a metal bracelet. A two-tone watch works with silver and gold jewellery, making it easy to style.

Sparkle and texture

Guess GW0613L3 is a rose-gold-tone 34 mm watch with a quilted texture on the bracelet. Rose gold is a warm tone that pairs well with pastel and light colours. This is a watch for everyday wear and evenings alike.

Bold and large

Not everyone wants a small, delicate watch. Guess also has bolder models:

• Guess GW0601L2 – a black square 36 mm watch with a studded bezel and textured central bracelet links. The manufacturer describes it as a rock-style watch. Works with a leather jacket, jeans and black clothes.
• Guess W1223L4 – 42 mm. A watch this large immediately stands out on the wrist and suits those who like the ‘boyfriend watch’ style.

What to wear with a Guess watch

A Guess watch is designed to be seen, so consider how it works with the rest of your outfit.

• For work. A simple silver-tone or two-tone watch with a medium-sized case works best in the office. If your outfit is understated, the watch can be the one detail that sparkles.
• For everyday wear. Almost any Guess watch works with jeans, a dress shirt and a jumper. Mesh and metal bracelets are practical, but dry them with a soft cloth after rain.
• For evenings. An evening watch can be bolder, with sparkling details, a gold tone or a square case.
• With bracelets. If you wear bracelets alongside your watch, keep the tones consistent and choose a smaller watch to avoid overcrowding the wrist. A thin bracelet can go on the same wrist as the watch, with a thicker one on the other wrist.

How to choose a Guess women’s watch

• Size. Watches measuring 20–30 mm suit slim wrists, while 32–36 mm suits average wrists. Over 38 mm is a bold choice. The safest approach is to measure your wrist circumference; see our guide to choosing watch size and strap length.
• Tone. Match the watch to your jewellery: silver with silver, gold with gold. A two-tone watch works with both.
• Strap. A metal bracelet looks smart and is suitable for everyday wear. A leather strap is lighter and has a softer look, but does not like water.
• Use. If you wear a watch to work every day, choose a simpler, more neutral model. For parties and evenings, it can be more sparkling and bold.

A Guess watch as a gift

A Guess watch makes a good gift because the brand is familiar and there are many styles to choose from. If you are unsure of the recipient’s taste, choose a neutral silver-tone or two-tone model with a medium-sized case. If the gift is unsuitable, the watch can be returned within 14 days. You can also give a gift card, valid for 1 year.
