Just Watch men's watch 42 mm black steel bracelet blue dial

Black and blue is an easy pairing: this Just Watch sits well with a navy shirt, dark denim or a charcoal suit, and it keeps its edge with a plain white tee too. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 42 mm case in black metal, a blue dial and a black stainless steel bracelet.

Reading the dial

The blue dial has silver baton markers that give structure without clutter, and the date and day of the week are shown on the dial. Both the hands and the markers carry a luminescent coating, so after some time in the light they stay legible in the dark. The glass is mineral.

Fit and bracelet

The bracelet is made of links, and you adjust it by removing one or more of them, so keep any you take out. Our watch size guide explains how to do it. A deployant clasp closes it easily and keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it. The lug width is 22 mm, which is the figure to note if you later choose a replacement strap. Total length is 21 cm and the watch weighs 122 g.

Movement and water resistance

The VX44E114 quartz movement keeps reliable time with no winding. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and handwashing. Take it off for swimming. The case is 11.5 mm thick.

With its metal bracelet, this watch suits the office as readily as a weekend in jeans, and the luminous hands are handy when the light drops.
