Kenneth Cole Men's Watch KC51039004 vs Kenneth Cole Men's Watch KCWGH2217702
Both are inexpensive quartz Kenneth Cole watches, so the choice comes down to strap and look, not performance. The KC51039004 starts at $26 and the KCWGH2217702 at $30, a $4 gap. Buy the burgundy leather-strap model for a dressier, lighter feel; buy the grey-dial steel-bracelet model if you want a metal band and a stated 30 m water resistance.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for everyday wear?
- The KCWGH2217702. Its steel bracelet and 30 m water resistance hold up better to daily knocks and splashes than a leather strap with no stated rating.
- Which looks dressier?
- The KC51039004. A burgundy dial on a leather strap reads dressier than a grey dial on a steel bracelet.
- Is the KCWGH2217702 worth $4 more?
- Yes for most shoppers. You get a steel bracelet, mineral glass, a 42 mm case size and a 30 m water resistance rating for $4 over the $26 starting price.
- Can I swim in either watch?
- No. The KCWGH2217702 is rated 30 m, which is splash resistance only, and the KC51039004 has no stated rating. Neither is a swim watch.
- Do both use quartz movements?
- Yes. Both are quartz, so both run on a battery and need a battery change every few years.
- Which is bigger on the wrist?
- The KCWGH2217702, at a stated 42 mm dial and 11 mm thickness. The KC51039004 has no published case size, so try it on if size matters.
