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

Put this Just Watch on the wrist and the first thing you notice is the warm beige dial set against all that bright steel. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 40 mm case, a date window and a no-nonsense look that does not need any explaining.

What you read on the dial

The beige dial keeps things easy on the eye. Arabic numerals and baton indexes work together, so telling the time is a glance rather than a puzzle. The display is analogue, and a small window shows the date. The case is silver-coloured metal and measures 40 mm across by 9 mm thick, with a mineral glass over the dial. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which means it copes with rain and splashes. It is not meant for swimming. The watch weighs 99 g.

Quartz movement inside

Behind the dial sits a quartz movement, a dependable choice that asks very little of you. All it needs is a new battery from time to time.

Steel bracelet and butterfly clasp

The silver-coloured stainless steel bracelet is made of links and is 20 mm wide, with a total length of 21.5 cm. If it sits too loose, you can shorten it by taking out links, and our watch size guide explains how. Keep the links you remove in case you ever need them again. The butterfly clasp opens from both sides, which makes it quick to put on and take off.

This is a watch for every day, from the office desk to a weekend out. The metal bracelet is easy to live with, and the neutral silver and beige combination goes with most of what you wear.
