Just Watch men's watch 40 mm steel bracelet grey dial

Stainless steel has a pleasing heft to it, cool against the wrist at first and quickly warming to your skin. This Just Watch men's watch uses it for the whole bracelet, finished in a silver tone that matches the round 40 mm case, and it sits there with a reassuring, solid presence at 99 g. Inside is a quartz movement, with an analogue display and a date window.

Reading the dial

The grey dial is easy on the eye. Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers, so you can read the time at a glance without second-guessing. The date appears in its own window. The mineral glass over the dial copes well with everyday knocks and scuffs.

Fit and everyday wear

The case is 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, a size that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. The bracelet is 20 mm wide with a total length of 21.5 cm, and you can shorten it by removing links. Keep any you take out, as they may be useful later. Our watch size guide explains how to do it step by step. The butterfly clasp unfolds symmetrically and closes neatly. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which means it handles rain and splashes, but it is not made for swimming. The quartz movement asks very little of you: just replace the battery when it runs down.

The steel bracelet looks just as at home with a shirt at the office as with jeans at the weekend, which makes this an easy watch to reach for every morning.
