Xinjia digital men's watch 44 mm cheap

All black from case to strap, this Xinjia is a watch that sits happily with a grey hoodie, a plain tee or work clothes you don't mind getting dirty. It is a digital men's watch with a round 44 mm case and quartz movement, and at this price it is inexpensive enough to treat as a proper everyday tool rather than something to keep in a drawer.

Reading the time

The dial is black and the time is shown in digits, so there is nothing to interpret. You glance down and you have it. The quartz movement keeps the time steady without any upkeep. When the battery eventually weakens, take the watch to a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while it is open.

Size, weight and water

At 44 mm across and 17 mm thick, the plastic case has real presence on the wrist, so if your wrists are slim, check that it doesn't overhang before you buy. The plastic keeps the weight down to 44 g, which you notice in a good way over a long day. The synthetic glass copes well with knocks but will scratch more easily than mineral glass. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is not meant for swimming.

The silicone strap

The strap is black silicone, 23 mm wide, and a rinse under the tap is all it needs after a sweaty session. It closes with a pin buckle, and the total length is 24.5 cm. If you like the look and want to see what else is out there, browse our digital watches for men.

On a run, in the gym or halfway through a DIY job, this one keeps up with whatever you throw at it, and it looks just as at home with jeans on the weekend.
