Looking for a present for a man who likes things simple and well made? This Just Watch men's watch is an easy one to give: a blue dial, a steel bracelet and a clean, round 43 mm case that suits plenty of different tastes and occasions.
The blue dial is paired with Arabic numerals and silver-tone hour markers, so the time is clear straight away, with no squinting. It is an analogue display driven by a Miyota 2115-6 quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, take it to a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.
The silver-tone metal case measures 43 mm across and 10 mm thick. It has a real presence on the wrist and suits medium to large wrists best. If you are unsure about the fit, our watch size guide will help you decide. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which copes with rain and splashes, but this is not a watch to swim in.
The stainless steel bracelet is made of links, so it can be shortened by removing a few of them. The same guide explains how, and it is worth keeping any links you take out. A deployant clasp closes with a click and helps stop the watch slipping off when you take it from your wrist. The bracelet is 22 cm long overall, and the width between the lugs is 26 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want a spare strap.
Understated and comfortable, this is a watch that quietly gets on with the job, whether it is worn with a shirt on weekdays or with a jumper at the weekend. Whoever receives it is likely to reach for it every morning.
