Akzent men's watch 42 mm pink metal bracelet

If you like a watch with a bit of colour but still want a proper metal bracelet and a classic round face, this Akzent is aimed at you. It is a men's quartz watch with a 42 mm silver-tone case, a white dial and a pink metal bracelet, and it keeps time with a Y121 movement.

Reading it and running it

The white dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals mean you can read the time at a glance. The Y121 quartz movement is accurate and needs no winding or regular setting. The only upkeep is swapping the battery now and then. The case is 10 mm thick, protected by a mineral glass, and water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take it off before a shower or a swim. The watch weighs 109 g.

Case, bracelet and clasp

At 42 mm, the metal case is a standard size for a man's wrist, and our watch size guide helps you check the fit and explains how to shorten the bracelet by removing links. Keep any links you take out. The pink and gold-tone link bracelet closes with a deployment clasp, which fastens easily and stops the watch slipping off when you take it from your wrist. Total length is 22.5 cm, and the lug width is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap.

It is an easy watch to wear every day. The metal bracelet sits as well with office clothes as with jeans on a weekend, and the pink adds a note of colour without shouting.
