This Guess GW1122G1 chronograph presents a commanding presence on the wrist, combining sports-inspired functionality with refined execution. The 42mm round stainless steel case houses a rich blue dial that shifts in intensity depending on the light, while the fixed tachymeter bezel adds authentic motorsport character. Three contrasting sub-dials — tracking chronograph minutes, seconds, and continuous seconds — are positioned in classic tri-compax layout, their textured surfaces catching light independently from the sunray-brushed main dial.
Polished applied hour markers and luminous hands ensure legibility across all conditions, while the stainless steel bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case profile through brushed and polished link finishing. The quartz chronograph movement delivers reliable timekeeping and stopwatch functionality at the press of the right-side pushers, making this equally suited to daily wear or weekend timing duties.
At Cassims & Co., we stock the full range of Guess watches as an authorised retailer, ensuring every timepiece carries the manufacturer's international warranty and full after-sales support. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the dial's depth in person, or take advantage of secure nationwide delivery across South Africa.

The GW1122G1 strikes a balance between tool-watch practicality and contemporary wrist presence — a versatile chronograph that reads equally well with business attire or weekend casual, backed by the reliability Guess has delivered to the South African market for decades.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The GW1122G1 is rated to 50 metres water resistance, which covers everyday splashes, rain, and hand-washing. It is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion. For water activities, we recommend a watch with at least 100m rating.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The top pusher (2 o'clock position) starts and stops the chronograph; the lower pusher (4 o'clock position) resets the chronograph hands to zero when stopped. The three sub-dials track elapsed minutes, seconds, and continuous running seconds independently.
Q: What is the tachymeter scale used for?
A: The tachymeter bezel allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at a distance marker, stop it at the next marker (typically 1km), and read the speed in units per hour directly from the bezel scale where the chronograph seconds hand has stopped.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing links. Visit us at our Mall of the South store for complimentary sizing at the time of purchase, or contact our team for assistance with subsequent adjustments.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: Quartz chronograph movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage. Our servicing team can replace the battery and pressure-test the seal to maintain water resistance — contact us when the seconds hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals, which indicates low battery.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Guess packaging?
A: Yes, every watch purchased from Cassims & Co. arrives in the original Guess presentation box with all accompanying documentation, warranty card, and instruction manual.
Q: Is the blue dial sunray-finished?
A: Yes, the dial features a sunray brushed finish that radiates outward from the centre, creating dynamic light reflection and depth. The three chronograph sub-dials have a contrasting circular texture for visual differentiation.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can dull the finish over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals (perfumes, cleaning agents, solvents) that may damage the movement or seals.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse it gently under fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion of the bracelet and case.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original Guess box provides ideal protection.
- Have the water resistance seals inspected every 2-3 years during battery replacement to maintain the 50m rating, particularly if you frequently expose the watch to moisture.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as shock can damage the quartz movement or scratch the mineral crystal.
