Most basic quartz watches stay quiet and a little forgettable. This QBOS men's watch does the opposite: a red dial, a red strap and a gold-tone metal case, all in a generous 46 mm round format. It is an inexpensive watch, but it certainly does not look timid.
The red dial is easy to read at a glance, and the Arabic numerals mean you never have to hesitate over the time. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so the time is steady without any fuss. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can swap it and check the seals while they are at it. The mineral glass keeps the dial protected through ordinary days.
At 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, this is a big watch with real presence. It suits wide wrists, or anyone who simply likes a chunky case. It weighs 52 g.
The strap is red faux leather, soft and easy to look after, 22 mm wide and 26 cm long overall. It closes with a pin buckle. If you like the look and feel of this one, you can find more in our men's leather strap watches.
It works best as a watch with personality for the daily routine. It sits comfortably alongside office outfits, and at the weekend it adds a bold touch of colour to jeans and a plain shirt.
