- Can I swim with this watch?
- Yes. It is rated 10 ATM, which covers swimming and showering. Do not press the crown or buttons underwater, and avoid high-pressure jets and diving.
- Does it have a sapphire crystal?
- No. It uses mineral glass. That resists everyday knocks but picks up fine scratches over time, unlike sapphire.
- How accurate is the quartz movement?
- Quartz movements typically stay within about 15 seconds a month, far tighter than most mechanical watches. It runs on a battery that needs replacing every few years.
- Is the bracelet adjustable?
- Yes. The stainless steel bracelet has removable links, so a jeweler or a basic link tool can size it to your wrist.
- Does the date need setting every month?
- Yes. It is a standard date window, not a perpetual calendar, so you reset it after months shorter than 31 days.
- Is it a good everyday watch?
- For casual and office wear, yes. It is water resistant and low maintenance, but the mineral glass and battery mean it is not a lifetime heirloom.
- Where is the Akribos XXIV Men's Casual Watch cheapest?
- At Rue La La, for $59.99, as of our latest check.
