Skechers SR1042 El Segundo Chronograph Strap Watch - W5550
Ref. SR1042
Sits in Skechers’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Skechers watches we list, which start at £22.
Price range £22 to £50 across 10 Skechers watches in stock.The El Segundo name belongs to Skechers' sport-utility line, and the SR1042 commits fully to that brief: a 50mm resin case at 17mm thick, built for legibility and function rather than restraint. The dual analog-digital layout means you can read elapsed time and current time simultaneously without pressing anything, and the integrated button placement keeps the profile clean despite the feature count. At 172 grams it wears lighter than the dimensions suggest — resin carries none of the wrist-load that a steel case of equivalent bulk would impose, which matters over a long day or a training session. The matte black texture absorbs rather than reflects, so it reads as one composed unit on the wrist rather than a collection of parts. Low-light legibility comes from the backlight rather than from a lume compound, which is the honest trade-off at this size and price point — the digital display is sharp enough that it works.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What 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.
