Skechers SR5042 Ardmore Black Silicone Strap Watch - W5539
Ref. SR5042
A blacked-out 46mm case on a silicone strap, built to read clearly and take rough treatment without ceremony. The matte brushed finish keeps the PVD from looking aggressive, and the luminous hands give it genuine legibility after dark rather than purely decorative ones. At 187 grams it sits with some presence on the wrist, which suits the scale. The silicone strap and buckle keep things straightforward — easy to adjust, easy to clean.

Learn more about Skechers
Skechers was founded in 1992 in Manhattan Beach, California, by Robert Greenberg, who had previously built and lost LA Gear. It grew into one of the largest footwear companies in the world.
The watches are a licensed extension of that, and they are what they look like: casual quartz pieces, sized and coloured to sit alongside the trainers, priced accordingly. There is no watchmaking history here and the brand does not claim any.
Also in 5 collections
This watch appears in Back in Stock (4,405), Stainless Steel Watches (2,927), Watches 44mm and Over (781), Watches Under £100 (556) and All Black Watches (293).

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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.
