No, it is a dress style quartz watch. It is rated to 30m, which covers splashes and rain from everyday wear such as hand washing and getting caught in the rain, but it is not built for swimming or diving. The manufacturer advises keeping it away from warm and hot water, so take it off before the shower or the pool. Think of it as a smart daily and formal watch rather than a dive tool.

It runs on a battery driven quartz movement. Quartz keeps steady, reliable time on its own, so you never wind the watch by hand. Set the time once when it arrives, then simply fasten it each day and it stays accurate through the day. When the battery eventually runs down, any watch shop can fit a fresh one in a few minutes, and the watch is ready to wear again.

It is rated to 30m, which in practice means it handles splashes and rain rather than being submerged. Everyday moisture like washing your hands or a rain shower is fine. What it is not made for is swimming, diving or hot water, since heat and pressure can work past the seal. Keep it off in the shower and away from warm water and the case stays sealed and clear over time.

There are eight finishes in all. Cases come in silver, gold or black, and dials come in white, black, blue, green or gold, paired into eight combinations. Gold accented cases sit with white, black, blue or green dials, there is an all black case with a black dial, a full gold case with a gold dial, and silver cases with white or blue dials. Every finish shares the same faceted bezel, day date dial and steel bracelet.

Yes. The hands and the dot markers around the edge of the dial glow in dim light, so the time stays readable once the room goes dark or you step outside at night. During the day the gold tone Roman numerals and crystal set markers give clear contrast against the dial. The day and date window at three o'clock reads easily in both conditions, so a quick glance tells you the time and the day.

The steel bracelet closes with a fold over clasp that clicks shut and holds firm on the wrist. It is built from faceted diamond cut links, so it has a dressed up shine as well as a secure hold. The round case suits most adult men's wrists and sits fairly flat rather than standing tall. If the bracelet needs sizing to your wrist, a watch shop can add or remove links quickly for a neat, comfortable fit.

It works well as a gift. A men's watch with a faceted bezel, a day date dial and a steel bracelet suits birthdays, anniversaries and formal occasions, and the eight finishes let you match the recipient's taste. A silver case with a white dial leans classic, while an all black case stays quiet and understated. Both arrive ready to wear once the time is set and the clasp is closed, so it presents well straight from the box.

Wipe the case and the bracelet with a soft dry cloth now and then to keep the faceted links bright and clear. Keep it away from warm and hot water, store it away from heavy knocks when you take it off, and set it down flat so the bracelet keeps its shape. With that light care the cut bezel and diamond cut links keep catching the light, and the watch holds its finished look over time.
