Lorus RW647AX9 Stainless Steel Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W16238
Ref. RW647AX9
Sits in Lorus’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Lorus watches we list, which start at £30.
Price range £30 to £160 across 94 Lorus watches in stock.Lorus sits within the Seiko Watch Corporation's stable, and the Z021 movement inside this watch reflects that parentage — Japanese quartz built to a standard that the brand name alone does not always suggest. At 46mm across and with a blue accent ring around the bezel cutting against the black dial, this is a sports watch that makes no pretence of being anything else. The ana-digital layout does real work: the analogue hands read the time at a glance while the digital window handles the chronograph, countdown and alarm functions without cluttering the dial face. The folding clasp with twin push-buttons holds the bracelet securely and makes removal straightforward, which matters on a watch this size.

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?
22mm. 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
