Cheap Akzent men's watch steel bracelet 40 mm

At 40 mm across and 8 mm thick, this Akzent sits neatly on most men's wrists: large enough to read at a glance, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff. It is a round quartz watch with a white dial and a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to get a clean, dependable everyday piece.

A dial that reads easily

The white dial gives the hands good contrast. Arabic numerals alternate with baton indexes, so you can read the time without counting marks. The indexes are silver-tone, which keeps the look restrained and consistent with the case and bracelet.

Quartz movement, no fuss

Inside is a PC32 quartz movement with analogue display. It is accurate and needs no winding or regular setting. All it asks for is a new battery from time to time.

Bracelet, clasp and fit

The bracelet is made of steel links and can be shortened by removing a few of them. Our watch size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out in case you need them again. A deployant clasp closes with a click and keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it. Total length is 24 cm, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap or bracelet.

Case, glass and water resistance

The case is silver-tone metal and weighs 94 g with the bracelet. A mineral glass protects the dial through daily knocks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

This is a watch for every day, from the office to the weekend. The metal bracelet works as well with a shirt and trousers as it does with jeans, and its plain, quiet styling means it never competes with what you are wearing.
