Description
This Nine West women's watch is a simple, dressy piece for people who want a gold-tone look without a heavy price or a complicated dial. The 40mm case gives it a noticeable presence on the wrist, and the beige sunray dial keeps the overall look soft and warm.
Inside sits a Japanese quartz movement, which drives the hour, minute and second hands. The case is metal, the lens is mineral glass, and the strap is caramel faux leather with a buckle closure. The dial carries gold-tone hands and markers.
The sunray finish is the detail that stands out, as it catches the light and shifts slightly with the angle of the wrist. This watch is not water resistant, so it suits office, dinner and casual daily wear rather than swimming, showers or sport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear this watch in the shower or while swimming?
No. This Nine West watch is not water resistant, so it should stay dry. Even steam in the shower or a splash while washing your hands can get inside the case over time. Keep it for dry daily wear such as the office or dinner, and take it off before any contact with water.
Will a 40mm case look too big on a small wrist?
A 40mm case is on the larger side for a women's watch, so it makes a visible statement on the wrist. On a slim wrist it will look bold rather than delicate. The 16mm lug width and 8mm case thickness keep it fairly slim, which helps it sit comfortably under a cuff.
Is it suitable for daily office wear?
Yes, it works well for that. The beige sunray dial with gold-tone hands is easy to read, and the caramel faux leather strap looks smart without being formal. The mineral crystal handles everyday knocks reasonably, though it can scratch more easily than sapphire, so avoid rubbing it against desks or door frames.
How does it differ from a watch with a genuine leather strap?
This Nine West watch uses a faux leather strap, which is cheaper and easier to match to a fashion look but generally wears out faster than genuine leather. Compared with a steel bracelet it is also lighter and more comfortable. If you want something longer-lasting, consider swapping to a 16mm replacement strap.
What battery service does it need?
The Japanese quartz movement runs on a small battery that typically lasts one to two years. When it stops, a watch repairer can replace it quickly and cheaply. Because the watch is not water resistant, the case seal is not a concern, but ask for the back to be closed carefully so dust stays out.
Who is this watch suitable for?
It suits women who want an affordable, dressy gold-tone watch with a clean beige dial. It is a good fit for the office, casual evenings and as a gift, but not for sport or swimming. Compared with a steel-bracelet quartz watch, it trades durability for a softer look.
Editor's take
Nine West aims this model at buyers who want a gold-tone fashion watch with a clean face and an easy caramel strap. It is a women's watch with a 40mm metal case, a larger size than many fashion watches use, so it reads clearly on the wrist.
The beige sunray dial is the main attraction, paired with gold-tone hands and markers that stay legible against the light background. Protection comes from a mineral crystal, which resists everyday scuffs reasonably well but does not match sapphire for scratch resistance. A Japanese quartz movement keeps time without any winding or fuss.
The honest limitation is water. This watch is not water resistant, so rain, hand washing and showers are best avoided, and it is not a sport or swim piece. The faux leather strap with a simple buckle is also less durable than genuine leather, and it will probably need replacing sooner.
It suits someone after an inexpensive dressy watch for the office or evenings out. If water resistance or a long-lived strap matters, look at a quartz watch with a steel bracelet or a genuine leather strap from a field of similar price.

From the manufacturer
Japanese Quartz Precision
The NW/1996CHCM runs on a Japanese quartz movement, which keeps time to within a few seconds per month without winding or regulation. It is a sensible choice for a daily wearer, where consistency matters more than complication and servicing stays simple.
A 40mm Metal Case
The 40.0mm metal case sits comfortably between a dress watch and a modern everyday size, wearing well on most wrists. A mineral crystal protects the dial, offering good resistance to everyday scuffs while keeping the glare under control.
Faux Leather Strap Finish
A faux leather strap pairs with the metal case for a softer, lighter feel on the wrist than a bracelet would give. It suits office wear and casual dress alike, and it can be swapped later if you prefer a different strap in the same width.
