Eichmüller digital men's watch faux leather strap 46 mm

The strap on this Eichmüller is faux leather in brown: soft, flexible and easy to wipe clean, with none of the stiffness a new genuine leather strap can have. It is fitted to a round 46 mm case in a rose gold colour, made of metal and 12 mm thick, so the watch looks substantial and sits squarely on the wrist.

Reading the time

The dial is blue, which makes the display easy to pick out at a glance, even when you are on the move. This is a digital men's watch, so the time is given in numerals with nothing to interpret. The hands are luminescent: once they have been exposed to light, they stay legible in the dark. The crystal is mineral glass.

Movement, size and care

Inside is a TMI PC21 quartz movement. It is accurate, needs no winding or regular adjustment, and only asks for a new battery when the current one runs out. The distance between the lugs is 22 mm, which is the figure to have to hand if you ever want to change the strap.

Water resistance is 3 ATM. That covers splashes, but you should take the watch off before a shower or a swim. At 46 mm, the case is a large one and suits wider wrists best.

In daily wear, the brown strap keeps the watch comfortable enough for a long working day and smart enough to go with office clothes. It is equally at home on a hike or an active weekend, where the luminescent hands and the clear blue dial do their job.
