Just Watch men's watch 40 mm steel bracelet Arabic numerals

A black dial set in a silver-tone case makes this Just Watch a natural partner for grey suits, navy knitwear and crisp white shirts, and it sits just as easily with denim and a plain tee. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 40 mm case and a stainless steel bracelet in the same silver tone.

Reading the dial

The black background gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals let you read the time at a glance. The white hour markers carry a luminescent coating, so after a little time in the light they stay visible in the dark. A small window shows the date.

Case and protection

At 40 mm the case is a standard size for a man's wrist, neither bulky nor dainty. The mineral glass protects the dial through daily knocks. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which covers rain and splashes, but it is wiser to take the watch off for swimming. It weighs 110 g.

Movement

The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding or adjustment. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.

On the wrist

The bracelet is made of steel links and closes with a butterfly clasp that opens on both sides. To shorten it, you remove links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep the links you take out, as they may be useful later. The lugs are 20 mm apart, the figure to know if you ever want to fit another strap, and the full length is 21 cm.

Understated enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, it is a watch you can put on in the morning and not think about again.
