Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A clean sports watch with no particular story behind it, which means it earns its keep purely through what it does. The sunray finish on the blue dial shifts from near-navy at the edges to something livelier under direct light, and the polished baton markers keep the face legible without crowding it. At 46.5mm lug to lug, it sits closer to the wrist than the 40mm diameter alone suggests, which helps it translate from weekend wear to a shirt cuff without looking oversized. The 100m rating is backed by a screw-down caseback, though the crown is a standard pull-out, so this is a watch for swimming rather than serious submersion. The lume on the hands is present but modest — adequate in dim light, not something to rely on in the dark. The PC32 movement is a Seiko-made calibre, which at this level means consistent timekeeping and a battery that typically runs two to three years before it needs attention.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 46.5mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
