Most watches at this level come with a plain black dial and a tired-looking strap. This Aerostar sets itself apart with a blue dial set against a silver-tone case, finished with a brown faux leather strap. It is a 45 mm quartz men's watch with an analogue display, and at this price it is genuinely inexpensive for what it offers.
The blue dial makes the time quick to read, even on the move. Arabic numerals and baton markers work together, so there is never any hesitation, and the markers are silver-toned to match the case. The round shape keeps the face balanced and easy to take in at a glance.
A quartz movement keeps reliable time without any attention from you. When the battery runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open. A mineral glass protects the dial through everyday knocks and scuffs.
The metal case measures 45 mm across and 9 mm thick, which gives it a confident presence on the wrist. If your wrist is on the slim side, check that the case does not overhang it before you choose. The thin profile helps it slide under a shirt cuff more easily than its diameter suggests.
The brown faux leather strap is 20 mm wide and 24 cm long overall, and it closes with a pin buckle. A damp cloth is all it needs to stay clean. If you like this look, you will find more in our men's leather strap watches.
With its understated colouring, this watch sits comfortably alongside office wear, yet it is just as at home with casual clothes at the weekend. It is a watch meant for every day, from the first meeting to the last evening out.
