Swiss Made Aero Men's Pilot's Watch, Luminous Hands, Day Date, Blue Leather Strap, Contrast Stitching

Love this watch. I wanted something that could take the brutality of being worn on the boat, in the sun, sometimes in the sea. I love how durable it is and even the leather is lasting really well. Chunky but stylish and surprisingly quite light on the wrist.

M-WATCH Mens Watch WBL.19340.LDThis is a substantial, chunky watch that feels solid and well-made. It doesn't have any fancy features beyond time and date, and it's easy to read the time at a glance. The body of the watch is around 4.5cm across and the watch strap broad at 24cm width. The watch strap also fits a woman's wrist, making a really oversized look. The dark navy blue styling is really smart.=== THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT ===* Really smart deep navy blue styling with stainless steel* The watch comes in a smart 4-colour presentation box (black, blue, yellow and red) with a branded window lid; inside the box, the watch is presented on a plump black velvet cushion* The watch face is bold and simple, making it easy to read the time at a glance; there are 3 hands (seconds, minutes and hours), clear hour markings (though with an idiosyncratic numbering system) and a calendar function with day and date* Discreet 'M:WATCH' branding across the face underneath the numeral 12 and on the watch strap lining* Thick, well-stitched, good quality dark navy blue leather watch strap lined with beige leather which, although the watch is aimed at men, will also fit women's wrists because there are 7 buckle holes* Chunky matte stainless steel metal watch buckle that closes securely and matches the body of the watch* Keeps good time (as all battery watches do)* Despite feeling really chunky, the watch weighs in at just 73g on my kitchen scales* Comes with a 2 year guarantee (you'll need your proof of purchase or dealer stamp)* Water resistant to 100m/10 bar, which means it's good for every watery activity except scuba diving=== NIGGLES ===* The watch is slightly unbalanced because the leather strap is light whereas the watch itself is heavy, meaning it will turn round on your wrist if the strap isn't done up tightly* Oversized face, at almost 4.5m from side to side - this is very nearly as wide as my wrist!* The numbering system is idiosyncratic; 12 is at the top and 6 at the bottom, then 05, 10, 15, 45, 50 and 55 facing inwards, and then 20, 25, 35 and facing outwards. It's a bit random and disorientating.* There are no instructions for how to operate the watch and it took me a while to work out how to set the day of the week on the calendar; to set the time, pull the knob out two notches; to set the date and day, push in one notch and turn anticlockwise to set the day (several turns for each day) and clockwise to set the date.* The day function has days in two languages, English and French (Mon, Lun, Tue, Mar, Wed, Mer, Thu, Jeu, Fri, Ven, Sat, Sam, Sun, Dim) which means it takes a long time of scrolling the wheel to get to the day of the week you want* The 2 year guaranteee excludes the glass, strap and batteryFor sale at the time of writing this review at £82.50.

This is a chunky watch in a very nice blue and a clear face. I had my uncle try it on and the strap only just got round his wrist so that is something to look out for. It keeps time well but setting day and date is a bit tricky - you need to pull the winder partly out and then it is clockwise for the date and anticlockwise for the day. Getting the day right is made trickier by having dates in English and French! It does seem to be a well made watch and it looks good, even if it is rather too large for me.

This is a large watch. I took a photo of it on my wrist to show how large, and am trying to upload it to show this. This is very much a 'man's' watch by design and size. It has a quality strap, although I had to wear it at its tightest to stop it moving around. The watch face is very clear, with what I regard as an odd numbering layout. Only the hours of 12 and 6 are displayed, in their usual places. The rest of the numbering is in seconds/minutes, 5,10, 15 etc., as you can see in the photo. Perhaps this is the norm now, or the fashion. More annoyingly, as someone else has pointed out, the second hand does not line up exactly with the seconds on the face.I can't comment yet on time-keeping accuracy, but it is a Swiss built watch so I wouldn't expect any problems there. There are absolutely no instructions with the watch, just an international guarantee leaflet. (You pull the knob out one notch to set the day/date, two to set the time. I found the knob had a little play in it, making it difficult to set to the exact second).It is well presented on a black cushion in a smart box. It would make a nice present for someone who likes this type of watch. But I currently use a much smaller (and frankly more comfortable for me) Casio watch : Casio Collection Men's Watch with White Analogue Display and Resin Strap MQ-24-7BLL which cost £6 and keeps excellent time. You pay your money and make your choice.

I was extremely impressed with this watch. The dial face is very clear and the day and date is easy to read. The dial face is 4.5cm across and the time is easily adjusted by pulling out the winder to its full amount. To adjust the date the winder is pulled out half way. The minutes are clearly marked with dashes and five minute segments are numbered 05 to 55 with 12 and 6 displayed in larger lettering for ease. The watch strap is made of genuine leather and adjustable to fit any wrist size and is a contrasting navy blue to the black dial face. The watch keeps excellent time and friends have remarked what a great looking time piece. I am personally very pleased with it.
