This Aerostar is an easy watch to live with: a light fabric strap, a plain black dial and a quartz movement that needs no winding or fiddling. It is a men's watch with a 47 mm case, and at this price it is inexpensive enough to be your everyday beater.
The case is metal in a brown finish, with a tonneau shape that sets it apart from the usual round cases. It measures 47 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it is a large watch, best suited to wide wrists or anyone who likes a big presence. If you are unsure, the watch size guide will help you decide. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic, and the watch weighs 63 g. The black dial has silver-coloured baton markers, so the time reads clearly at a glance on the analogue display. Inside, the quartz movement keeps accurate time without servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.
The strap is black fabric, light and comfortable against the skin. It is 24 mm wide and 24 cm long in total. It fastens with a pin buckle, so you can adjust the fit hole by hole until it sits right.
The understated black and brown colours go with most outfits, from jeans and a T-shirt to a smarter shirt. It is a simple, sturdy watch you can strap on in the morning and forget about.
