Cheap men's watch Aerostar 45 mm grey faux leather strap

You are squinting at your wrist on the train, and you need the time in one glance. That is the job of this Aerostar men's watch: a 45 mm round case in silver-tone metal, a grey dial and a grey faux leather strap, all at a price that is frankly inexpensive.

Reading the dial

The grey dial keeps things clear. Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers, so you read the time without counting lines, and the markers are red for a little contrast. The glass is mineral. Display is analogue, with no extra functions to learn.

Quartz movement

Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps things simple. There is nothing to wind, and the only upkeep is swapping the battery now and then.

On the wrist

The case is 10 mm thick and 45 mm across, so it suits medium to large wrists and it does get noticed. The strap is faux leather in grey and brown, soft and easy to look after. It is 26 mm wide, 24 cm long overall, and closes with a pin buckle clasp. If you like the look, there are more options among our men's leather strap watches.

It is an easy watch to wear from Monday morning at the office through to a Saturday walk, with no fuss and a clean, readable face.
