Men's watch Just Watch 39 mm steel bracelet

The first thing you notice is the dial. The zebra-striped pattern catches the light and gives this Just Watch a character that plain sunburst or matt dials rarely manage, and it sits in a classic round steel case with a matching silver-tone bracelet. It is a quartz men's watch, 39 mm across, and the model is called Anakin.

A dial you can read at a glance

Despite the busy pattern, the face stays easy to read. Arabic numerals leave no room for doubt, and the white hour markers stand out clearly against the stripes. The display is analogue, so you get a quick glance and your answer, even when you are on the move.

Case size and build

At 39 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm thick, the stainless steel case suits most men's wrists without looking oversized, and it slips under a cuff. The mineral glass protects the dial through everyday knocks. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, so swimming in the pool or the sea at the surface is fine, but it is not a diving watch. It is best to avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet. If you are unsure how 39 mm will look on you, our watch size guide explains how to check.

Quartz movement

Inside is a Miyota 2105 quartz movement, which keeps reliable time without any winding or fuss. When the battery eventually runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals at the same time.

Bracelet and clasp

The silver-tone steel bracelet is 20 mm wide and about 22.5 cm long overall. It is made of links, so you can shorten it by removing a few, and it is worth keeping any spare links in case you need them later. A folding clasp closes it securely and makes it easy to take off without the watch slipping from your hand.

Day to day, the steel bracelet works as well with a shirt at the office as with jeans at the weekend. It is a watch you can put on in the morning and simply forget about until you glance down and enjoy that dial again.
