Can I swim with the Diesel Stinger DZ2238?

No. It is rated to 50 meters, which covers splashes, rain and hand washing but not swimming or showering.

What size is the case?

The case is 44 mm across and 10.4 mm thick, with a 24 mm band. It wears large, so it suits medium to large wrists best.

Does it need winding or a battery?

It uses quartz movement, so it runs on a battery and does not need winding. The battery will need replacing every few years.

Is the crystal sapphire?

No. It uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal, which is tougher than plain glass but softer than sapphire.

The watch with its gunmetal steel bracelet, a deployment clasp with push-button release, and Diesel packaging.

How does it compare with other Diesel Stinger models?

This DZ2238 is the blue-dial, gunmetal steel version. Other Stinger models vary in dial color and finish, but share the same 44 mm case and quartz movement.

Our take on the Diesel Stinger Quartz Blue Dial Men's Watch DZ2238

The Diesel Stinger DZ2238 is a 44 mm gunmetal stainless steel watch with a blue dial and gunmetal hands. It runs on quartz movement and is rated to 50 meters of water resistance, which covers splashes and brief immersion but not swimming. The Stinger line is Diesel's bold, oversized look, and this one leans on the dark-on-dark case and bracelet rather than color. It suits someone who wants a big, heavy-feeling fashion watch for everyday wear, and it competes with other large steel chronograph-style watches from fashion brands on looks rather than on movement or finishing.
