The Guess Velocity GW1061G2 delivers a bold, sports-inspired aesthetic engineered for those who demand both function and flair. Housed within a 43mm round gold-tone stainless steel case, this quartz chronograph pairs a richly graduated blue dial with a unidirectional rotating bezel marked with luminous indices—a design cue drawn from vintage dive timing yet tailored for contemporary urban wear. The multi-function sub-dials track elapsed seconds and minutes, while day-of-week indicators at 12 o'clock add practical daily utility. Gold-tone applied hour markers and hands maintain legibility against the deep blue backdrop, and the matching gold-tone stainless steel bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case for a cohesive, confident look.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer for Guess watches, ensuring every timepiece leaves our care with full manufacturer credentials and authenticity documentation. The Velocity collection exemplifies Guess's knack for translating runway energy into wrist-worn statements—here, a sunburst blue dial catches shifting light throughout the day, while the mineral crystal guards against everyday abrasion. Water resistance to 50 metres offers reassurance during hand washing and light splashes, though the piece is not intended for swimming or diving.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the GW1061G2 requires no winding and maintains accurate timekeeping with minimal intervention—ideal for wearers who value precision without ritual. The folding clasp ensures a secure fit on the wrist, and the bracelet's polished links lend a reflective finish that complements both tailored trousers and weekend denim. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the watch firsthand, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa. Should you require future maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to assist with battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and general upkeep.
This is a timepiece that bridges athletic inspiration and everyday elegance—a versatile companion for the modern gentleman who appreciates a statement wrist presence grounded in American fashion-forward design.

FAQ
Q: Is the Guess Velocity GW1061G2 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch is splash-proof and suitable for hand washing and light rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or diving. For aquatic activities, we recommend a watch with at least 100 metres of water resistance.
Q: What battery does this quartz chronograph use, and how often will it need replacing?
A: Quartz chronograph watches typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage of the stopwatch functions. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery and perform a seals check to maintain water resistance—contact us for current service details.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing. Bring the watch to our Mall of the South boutique, and our team will adjust the fit for you—please contact us for full details on any applicable service fees.
Q: What is the function of the rotating bezel on this watch?
A: The unidirectional bezel can be rotated to track elapsed time—commonly used in dive watches but equally useful for timing everyday tasks such as parking meters, cooking intervals, or workout sessions. Align the zero marker with the minute hand to start timing.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Guess retailer, Cassims & Co. supplies this watch with the manufacturer's warranty. Full terms are confirmed at point of sale—please inquire with our team for the latest warranty period and coverage details.
Q: Does the gold-tone finish wear off over time?
A: The gold-tone finish is a PVD or ion-plated coating applied to stainless steel. With normal wear and care, it should remain vibrant for years, though heavy abrasion against rough surfaces can cause minor marks. Avoid contact with chemicals and have the watch professionally cleaned periodically to maintain its lustre.
Q: Can I wear this watch with formal attire, or is it strictly casual?
A: While the Velocity has a sports-inspired design with a chronograph layout and rotating bezel, the gold-tone finish and blue dial lend it enough versatility to pair with smart-casual and business-casual outfits. It bridges the gap between athletic and dressy, making it a flexible everyday choice.
