Cheap watch for men QBOS burgundy faux leather strap 46 mm

Burgundy is a colour that sits well with navy jackets, charcoal knitwear, dark denim and tan boots, and this QBOS men's watch is built around it. The dial and the faux leather strap share the same deep shade, while the gold-tone metal case adds a quiet contrast. It is also an inexpensive way to add some colour to a watch collection.

Dial, case and movement

The round metal case measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so this is a large watch, best suited to broader wrists or anyone who likes a substantial presence. If you are unsure about proportions, the watch size guide will help you judge. The burgundy dial carries Arabic numerals with gold-tone hour markers, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance. The glass is mineral and the whole watch weighs 52 g. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which needs no winding. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it.

The strap

The burgundy faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth and closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole so you can find the right fit. The strap is 22 mm wide between the lugs, a figure worth noting if you ever want a replacement, and its total length is 26 cm.

The dark red and gold-tone pairing keeps the look composed rather than loud, so it works as easily with a shirt at the office as with a jumper at the weekend. It is a watch you can put on in the morning and leave on all day.
