Cheap men's watch QBOS 46 mm

If you have a broad wrist and like a watch you can actually see from across the table, this QBOS men's watch is aimed squarely at you. The round metal case measures 46 mm across, which puts it firmly in big-watch territory, and it is inexpensive too.

Reading the time at a glance

The dial is analogue with Arabic numerals, so there is nothing to decode. You look down, you know the time. The glass is mineral, and the whole watch weighs 52 g, which is reassuring to know before you buckle it on.

Case size and fit

At 46 mm wide and 13 mm thick, the metal case has real presence. It sits tall on the wrist, so it suits larger wrists best. If you are not sure how a diameter like this will look on you, our watch size guide explains how to match case size to wrist. The lug width is 22 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever fancy swapping the strap. Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time steadily without winding. When the battery runs low, take it to a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.

Strap and clasp

The strap is synthetic leather, soft against the skin and easy to wipe clean. It closes with a classic pin buckle and measures 26 cm in total length. The plain look of the strap lets the large dial do the talking.

In daily life, this is a watch that works with a shirt and tie just as well as with a casual jacket. It is simple to wear, easy to read and low on fuss, which is exactly what you want from a watch you reach for every morning.
