eTic watch for men 47 mm black silicone strap

Looking for a present for a man who prefers a watch that does its job and gets on with the day? This eTic men's watch is a good candidate. It is a quartz watch with a black dial, a silver-tone stainless steel case and a black silicone strap, in a very wearable black-and-silver look.

Made to be read at a glance

The black dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals and white hour markers mean you never have to think twice about the time. The hands are luminescent, so once they have caught some light you can still read them in a dark room. A small window shows the date.

A big case with real presence

The round case measures 47 mm across and 13 mm thick, so this is a large watch best suited to broader wrists. If you are choosing for someone else, our watch size guide will help you judge the fit. The case is stainless steel, which copes well with sweat and everyday damp, and the mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 5 ATM: fine for rain and splashes, but best taken off for swimming. The watch weighs 90 g, and inside sits a quartz movement that needs no winding or setting, just a new battery now and then.

Strap and clasp

The black silicone strap shrugs off sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. It fastens with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole. The strap is 24 mm wide between the lugs, which is the figure to note if you ever want a spare, and the total length is 25.5 cm.

Whether it goes on for a run, a gym session or a weekend of DIY, this watch is built to keep moving. Its plain styling goes with just about anything in the wardrobe, which makes it an easy gift to get right.
