GC – Guess Collection Watches Review

I have used my old Guess Watch for more than 10 years with pleasure. After 10 years it became non-water resistant and decided to chance it. Naturally, another Guess watch was my first choice. After searching for a while, found it! I’m using my new Guess Collection Watch for more than 2 years, and this time is enough for a good review. Here is my gc watches review review 🙂

About GC – Guess Collection

In fashion area, Guess is one of the top brands. This famous brand offers luxury clothing, handbags, wallets, shoes, jewelry, eyewear, accessories and so on. On the other hand, Guess Collection is a Swiss brand and subsidiary of Guess brand. It is known for luxury watches. GC Guess Collection combines Swiss craftsmanship with fashion oriented designs and produce high quality (and reachable!) watches. Reachability is key point! There are many quality watches but they are very very expensive. For this reason, Guess Collection products are high quality and have good price/performance ratio. This Quartz Watch is definitely one of them. It is not an expensive high-end watch, but affordable and well designed luxury watch. Good combination of price and quality.

Style and Design

First of all, Guess Collection watch comes with a silver colored luxury box. Watch stays in the box very protected with a protected foam layer. Its s an analog watch. It has a 36 mm stainless steel case and my model (GCY59009L9MF) has polished gold finishing. Background of the watch is green and I liked it very much. Mineral dial window is resistive to scratching. Clear crystals bezel and Clear crystal indexes makes the clock great looking. It has no sub dials and it is very minimalist. The watch has three roman number at 12, 4 and 8 o’clock. It has no date, no alarm, no chronometer etc. This minimalist design makes it great looking.

Bracelet and Claps Type

GC – Guess Collection Watch has a stainless steel bracelet. Polish of the bracelet is similar to the clock itself. Most GC models have locking clasp with push button which is very easy to use. Bracelet links can be removed, hence you can adjust according to your wrist size.

Water Resistance

GC watch is water resistant. It has 10 ATM water pressure resistance. Usually, 5 ATM water resistance is sufficient for household sinks or swimming. It is 10 ATM at this GC watch and this is highly enough for daily use. Note that it is not suitable for scuba diving. If you are planning scuba diving, you must prefer much higher ATM resistant watches.

Quartz vs Automatic Watches Compare

Quartz Watches are electronic watches where oscillations of a quartz crystal is used to regulate timekeeping. They are becoming more and more popular in recent years. Reason is simple: They are incredibly accurate, Even compared to expensive automatic mechanical watches. Quality Quartz watches may lose only around 2 seconds in a month. This deviation time is much better than ultra-expensive automatic watches. Reason is simple: As its name implies, mechanical automatic watches are mechanic and have many moving parts. Moving parts = more friction and result is less accuracy. Another great feature of quartz watches is they don’t need servicing except for battery replace for 2-3 years. In automatic watches you have to move your wrist to charge the watch. Other superior feature of Quartz watches over automatic watches is their prices. You can find great quartz clocks at £100-£500 range but no Automatic watches near that range. Premium automatic watches start from £1.000.
