Men's watch Akzent black dial metal bracelet

Most basic quartz watches stop at a plain case and a rubber or fabric strap. The Akzent goes a step further with a full metal bracelet in silver tone and a black dial, which gives a 42 mm round watch a more finished, grown-up look without making it fussy.

Movement and dial

Inside is a PC32 quartz movement with an analogue display. It is accurate and needs no winding or setting routine, only a fresh battery from time to time. The dial is black with slim line indexes marking the hours, so it reads quickly at a glance and stays uncluttered. A mineral glass covers the dial.

Case, bracelet and fit

The case is silver-tone metal, 42 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a men's watch. If you are unsure about your wrist, the watch size guide explains how to choose and how to adjust the fit. The bracelet is made of metal links and is sized by removing one or more links, so keep any you take out in case you need them later. It closes with a clip clasp. The width between the lugs is 23 mm, worth noting if you ever want a replacement bracelet, and the total length is 22 cm. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

The metal bracelet sits as comfortably with a shirt at the office as it does with jeans at the weekend, which makes this an easy watch to reach for every day.
