Guess 'Waterpro' Quartz Men's Wristwatch

This is a contemporary men's quartz wristwatch by Guess, specifically from the 'Waterpro' collection. The timepiece features a brushed and polished stainless steel construction with a robust, integrated bracelet design. The watch has a round case with a distinctive chunky, notched fixed bezel that includes stylized numeric markings at the 30 and 60 positions. The dial is a dark slate black or deep blue, featuring luminescent Arabic numerals at the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, complemented by baton hour markers and a date aperture visible at the 3 o'clock position. The hands include a broad arrow hour hand and a sword-style minute hand, both treated with luminous material for low-light visibility. The bracelet is a multi-link design with a deployant clasp that is clearly embossed with the 'WATERPRO' branding. In terms of condition, the watch shows moderate signs of wear consistent with regular use, including surface scratches on the stainless steel bezel and clasp, and slight scuffing on the crystal surface. This style of Guess watch was popular in the late 1990s through the mid-2000s, characterizing the 'fashion watch' aesthetic of that period which focused on durability and water resistance for daily wear.

I have virtually examined this Guess 'Waterpro' Quartz Men's Wristwatch. The timepiece is a quintessential 'fashion watch' from the late 1990s to early 2000s, featuring a robust stainless steel integrated bracelet and 50m water resistance. My visual assessment confirms the item is in 'Good' used condition; while the case and clasp show moderate surface abrasions and the mineral crystal exhibits visible scuffing, the dial and handset appear preserved without signs of moisture ingress or oxidation. In the current horological market, Guess Waterpro models are widely available and lack the rarity associated with luxury mechanical brands. They are valued primarily on aesthetic appeal and functional utility rather than investment potential. Comparables on secondary markets (eBay, Poshmark) consistently sell within the $30 to $80 range depending on battery functionality and crystal clarity. The present estimate reflects the wear on the crystal and the commonality of this specific reference. Limitations: This appraisal is based solely on high-resolution imagery. Without a physical inspection, I cannot verify the movement’s functionality, the integrity of the water seals, or the presence of a leaking silver-oxide battery which could corrode the interior. Full authentication would require opening the screw-down case back to inspect the movement markings (likely a Japanese Miyota or Epson quartz movement), testing the quartz oscillator’s accuracy, and verifying the weight and metal composition of the steel. Provenance documentation or a original box/papers would provide further assurance but would only marginally increase the market value for this specific tier of fashion accessory.
