KingStar watch for men 45 mm rose gold-tone metal bracelet

Looking for a present for a brother, a father or a friend who likes a watch with some presence? This KingStar men's watch is an easy one to wrap: a 45 mm round case, a rose gold-tone metal bracelet and a quartz movement that simply gets on with keeping time.

What you get on the wrist

The case is metal, 10 mm thick, with a mineral glass that stands up to scratches better than plastic does. The dial is analogue, with round hour markers that make it quick to read. Inside, the PC21 quartz movement keeps the time without any winding or fuss. When the battery eventually runs low, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

At 45 mm, this is a watch that makes itself seen. If the person you are buying for has a slim wrist, it is worth checking the proportions first, and our watch size guide shows you how, and also explains how to take links out of the bracelet.

Bracelet and fit

The bracelet is made of metal links in a warm rose gold-tone finish, 26 mm wide, with a total length of 24.5 cm. To adjust it, you remove one or more links, and it is a good idea to keep the ones you take out in case the size ever needs to change. A deployant clasp closes it with a single click and makes it much less likely that the watch slips off when it is being taken off.

It is the kind of watch that works Monday to Sunday: smart enough for the office, relaxed enough to wear with a pair of jeans at the weekend. Whoever opens the box can put it on and wear it every day from the start.
