Akzent men's watch metal bracelet baton markers 42 mm

If you want one watch that goes from desk to weekend without any fuss, this Akzent is built for you. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 42 mm case, a silver-tone dial and a full metal bracelet.

Reading the time

The silver dial keeps things clean, and round baton-style hour markers in blue make the time easy to catch at a glance. The display is analogue, so there is nothing to scroll through or decode.

Quartz movement

The Y121 quartz movement keeps accurate time and needs no winding or servicing routine. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.

Case and water resistance

The case is silver-tone metal, 42 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. If you are unsure how that will sit on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes only. Showers, baths and swimming are off the table.

Bracelet and fit

The silver-tone bracelet is made of links, so you adjust the fit by removing one or more of them, and the size guide explains how. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later. It closes with a clip clasp. The gap between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement bracelet, and the total length is 22 cm.

With its metal bracelet and plain, readable dial, this is an easy watch to put on every morning and forget about, whether you are at work or out for the weekend.
