Akzent men's watch 42 mm black faux leather strap cheap

The first thing you notice about this Akzent is the strap: black faux leather that feels soft and supple against the wrist, with none of the stiffness you often get on a new strap. It is 20 mm wide, 23 cm long overall, and closes with a pin buckle you can adjust hole by hole until the fit suits you. It is a simple, inexpensive men's watch that sits comfortably in the family of men's leather strap watches, and the synthetic finish is easy to wipe clean.

Case, dial and legibility

The round metal case is silver-tone and measures 42 mm across by 9 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. Behind the mineral glass sits a black dial with silver-tone hour markers and Arabic numerals, so the time reads clearly at a glance. The display is analogue throughout.

Movement and water resistance

Inside is a PC32 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which means rain and hand washing are fine, but you should take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

The black and silver-tone pairing is easy to wear with almost anything, from office shirts to a casual weekend outfit. It is light enough to forget about during a long day, and it goes on in the morning without any fuss.
