KingStar men's watch metal bracelet 45 mm

Silver from case to clasp, this KingStar watch is the sort of piece that sits comfortably under a shirt cuff with tailoring and looks just as natural against a plain tee and dark denim. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 45 mm case and a metal bracelet, and its single tone keeps it quiet rather than showy.

Movement and build

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and no routine beyond replacing the battery now and then. The case is silver-coloured metal, 45 mm across and 11 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal protecting the dial through daily knocks. The watch weighs 143 g. The case has real presence on the wrist, so if yours is on the slim side, check that it does not extend beyond the edge of it before you decide.

Bracelet and clasp

The silver link bracelet can be shortened by taking links out. Keep any you remove, as you may want them later. Our watch size guide explains how to do it step by step. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and holds the watch securely on the wrist when you open it. The bracelet measures 23 cm in total length, and the width between the lugs is 24 mm, a figure worth noting if you ever look for a replacement strap.

Easy to dress up or down, this is a watch for every day, at the office on a weekday and in jeans at the weekend. It sits happily alongside the other link-bracelet watches in our men's range.
