Is the Guess W0989L1 a good everyday watch?

It works as a dressy everyday watch if you want a jewelry-like look. It is a fashion watch, so treat it as style first and durability second.

Does it use a battery or automatic movement?

Guess fashion watches in this line use quartz movements, which run on a battery. Expect to have the battery replaced every couple of years.

Fashion watches like this are typically rated for splash resistance only. Take it off for swimming, showering and washing dishes.

Those brands offer better movements and finishing for the money. The Guess wins on trend-led design and brand appeal, not on watchmaking.

Yes, if the recipient likes fashion watches and Guess styling. It is a weaker gift for someone who cares about movements or collectible watches.
