Accurist Mens Titanium Chronograph Watch with Blue Dial and Silver Strap 7244

I have a large collection of watches, many of them multi dial chronographs made with stainless steel. This watch is the same size as my Citizen eco drive watch but it only weighs a fraction of the Citizen. The dark blue dial contrasts really well with the white hands and number battons making it really easy to see the time at a glance and in fairly low light. This is especially important to people with less than perfect eyesight. I also really like the red second hand. As other reviewers have said, you dont know know you are wearing it. My only (very minor) critisism is that although the hands are luminous, the luminosity isnt very good so you cant see the time in pitch dark.

A beautiful watch. Yet when I ordered it I thought it was ugly. I blame the selling picture. When it arrived I was genuinely surprised by how lovely it was. My husband was delighted with it.

This was too small for my wrist and there's no way to get it bigger so back it goes

Well, I purchased this watch a few years back from another retailer, and it is indeed a very nice looking watch out of the box.The Tachy is a bit fiddly to use, since it’s really a chronometer with a Tachy on the dial, but you can just mentally move the seconds from the timer to the corresponding place on the bezel.Within months, or possibly weeks however, I had the paint start falling out from the bezel, and the titanium got surprisingly scratched up quite quickly.I contacted accurist about this, but didn’t want to go to bother of sending it in when I could just repaint the numbers. (Which… still fell out again, and I continue to experiment.)Then the battery died, and removing the case back was an absolute *sod* (leading to more scratches… but I will polish those out) but, once I did change the battery (after just 2 years, which is short for a quarts movement I feel) and looked up how to zero the chronometer hands, it’s pretty much fine. Or at least… as it was.The bracelet *is* very adjustable, despite what other reviews say, links are indeed removable and easy enough to do with the right tool. Despite this, I am currently wearing it with a ‘Bond’ NATO strap, as it pairs nicely with the warm grey of the Titanium case, and it saves the very nice titanium band getting any extra dings in day today use. (With a bit of care and some polywatch, you can make the whole thing shine really nicely for a titanium watch)The finishing on the watch face itself is lovely, very eye catching in a subtle way, and the orange second hand is a nice choice. There’s some questionable alignment, and the date is the kind you need to remind of the months (no perpetual calendar) but that’s pretty standard. The time is accurate, and the 5 bar water resistance means it’s survived the odd hot bath. (Numbers on bezel not included as mentioned) Don’t know if I would swim in it, but neither I nor the watch are divers.It is lumed on hands and markers (for time only… no night time Tachy or Chronometer use) and is very light on the wrist.Is it worth seventy quid? Probably. Though a G shock at a similar price would have more function, and you might be better off with a Chinese micro brand or Seiko automatic for a budget posh look… or, if going with quartz for accuracy, maybe a citizen eco drive.At first I was very ‘the time sponsored by accurist’ but after facing the prospect of paying more than the watch cost to get it serviced after just two years of literally at home indoor use (until I finally managed to get the back off and change the battery etc myself) I am still waiting to be impressed by what I still think of warmly as my working class British brand.

This is a beautiful light dress watch by Accurist. The titanium case and bracelet make this watch incredibly light on the wrist so you barely even know it's there. I particularly like the blue dial and the legibility of the dial markers and hands on this watch. The Chronograph function works great.The only complaints I had on this to drop it 1 star were the bracelet. Firstly one of the end link covers was slightly bent on my particular watch (which can be seen pictured at the top left) but it didn't bother me enough to return it, I think I could bend it so it rests flush with the watch with some gentle manipulation. There are no adjustable/removable links in the bracelet. Adjustments can only be made at the fastener. I have a near 7 inch wrist (175mm or 17.5cm) and I've adjusted it as far as it will go, but it is a touch loose.Easy to setup, looks and feels great. Would recommend!

There is only a very small adjustment of the bracelet of this watch. So in some cases it will still be too big. I. Sure Accurist could have designed this better.... You cannot remove any links. The only adjustment is minor adjustments on the clasp
