Our verdict
The 2946L is Berny's best-selling watch: a petite 18 mm oval 'cloud' case in gold tone on a slim 8 mm stainless steel bracelet, with a champagne (or white, green, blue or black) dial, Japanese Miyota quartz movement, 3 ATM water resistance and a butterfly clasp, for $64.99. It weighs a listed 32 g and is just 6.8 mm thick, so it's light and dainty. It's a fashion watch, not a tool watch: mineral glass rather than sapphire, splash resistance only, no lume, and a 175 mm maximum wrist size. Berny's 24-hour defect window and thin independent reviews hold the score back. Pretty and affordable; about $58 with code GOODVICUA.

Size and fit
| 2946L | |
|---|---|
| Case width | 18 mm |
| Lug to lug | 24 mm |
| Thickness | 6.8 mm |
| Bracelet | 8 mm stainless steel, butterfly clasp |
| Max wrist size | 175 mm |

This is a petite watch, like the small vintage pieces that are popular again. It will look delicate on most wrists; if you prefer a bolder look, the square 2166L has a wider 16 mm bracelet. See 2946L vs 2166L.
Specs and build
- Movement: Japanese Miyota quartz, so it's accurate and needs a battery change every few years (battery replacement isn't covered by the warranty).
- Crystal: mineral glass. It's harder than acrylic but scratches more easily than sapphire.
- Water resistance: 3 ATM (30 m), i.e. splash-resistant only.
- Case back: solid. No lume on the dial.
Ratings
We couldn't see customer ratings on Berny's product page. Berny's Trustpilot score is 3.6/5 from 14 reviews: buyers like the designs and value, while complaints are about slow refunds and support. See our Berny review.
Price, coupon and returns
- Price: $64.99. Berny shows a $159.96 strike-through price; we'd ignore it. Code GOODVICUA takes 10% off at the time of writing, about $58.
- Returns: 30 days for change of mind, at your own shipping cost, if unused and in its original box.
- Defects: report them within 24 hours of delivery, or Berny treats the watch as in perfect condition. Check the clasp, dial and timekeeping the day it arrives.
- Warranty: 12 months for manufacturing defects.
- International buyers pay any import duties.
Alternatives
- Berny 2166L ($69.99): a square gold quartz watch with a wider 16 mm bracelet and a bolder look.
- Want a men's or unisex watch? The T2596M titanium field watch ($70.99) or the AM339M automatic diver ($139.99).
All five are compared in best Berny watches.
The bottom line
The 2946L is a pretty, petite gold dress watch with a Japanese quartz movement for $64.99. It's light, thin and comes in five dial colours, which explains why it's Berny's best seller. Treat it as a fashion piece rather than a rugged watch (mineral glass, 3 ATM), make sure it fits a wrist up to 175 mm, and inspect it the day it arrives. Our verdict: 6.6/10.
