The first thing you notice up close is the case: a round 42 mm shell in silver-tone metal, only 9 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal over a blue dial. It is a quartz watch from Akzent, built around the PC32 movement, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to get a clean, blue-faced everyday piece.
The blue dial is plain and uncluttered, with Arabic numerals and silver-tone hour markers, so you can read the time at a glance without squinting. The display is analogue, with no extra functions to get in the way.
Inside, the PC32 quartz movement keeps things simple and dependable. When the battery runs down, you replace it and carry on. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means splashes are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.
The strap is blue faux leather, soft against the wrist and easy to keep tidy with a quick wipe. It is 20 mm wide and 23 cm long overall, and it closes with a pin buckle that you can adjust hole by hole until it sits just right. If you like the look, you can compare it with other watches in our men's leather strap watches.
At 42 mm, the size is a comfortable standard for most men's wrists, and the blue and silver colours are easy to wear. It works with office clothes during the week and with something more casual at the weekend, so it can simply become the watch you reach for each morning.
