Akzent watch for men blue silicone strap

Most basic quartz watches stick to a round case and a plain strap. This Akzent men's watch goes a step further with a tonneau-shaped case in silver-coloured metal, a blue dial and a matching blue silicone strap, all in a body only 10 mm thick.

Movement and dial

Inside is a PC32 quartz movement with an analogue display. It needs no winding or setting routine, and the only upkeep is replacing the battery from time to time. The blue dial uses slim line markers in grey, so the time reads quickly without the face looking crowded. The crystal is mineral glass.

Case shape and size

The tonneau case is rounded at the sides and broader than a plain circle, which gives the watch a distinct outline on the wrist. The metal case is silver in colour, and the whole watch weighs 57 g. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers rain and handwashing. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

Strap and fit

The strap is blue silicone, a material that rinses clean under the tap, so it suits sport and sweaty days. It closes with a pin buckle. The width between the lugs is 27 mm, the figure to note if you ever want to swap the strap, and the total length is 24.5 cm. You will find similar models in our men's silicone strap watches.

Care and maintenance

Rinse the strap with clear water after exercise and dry the case with a soft cloth. Keep the watch away from hot showers and swimming, since 3 ATM is not designed for those. When the watch starts to lose time or stops, a new battery is all the movement needs.

In daily use this is an easy watch to live with. The silver case and blue palette work with a shirt at the office as well as with a T-shirt at the weekend, and the silicone strap stays comfortable through a full day.
