Jivago JV8431 Fun Watch 40mm Black Leather Quartz

40 mm leather quartz watch

The Jivago JV8431 is a 40 mm round watch with a stainless steel case and a black satin leather strap. A Swiss-parts quartz movement drives a black dial without a date window or chronograph function. The mineral crystal resists scratches and the case is water resistant to 30 metres. It is sized for adult wrists and fastens with an adjustable leather band.

Who this suits and who it does not

Buyers wanting a straightforward analogue watch with a classic leather look will find the specifications match that need. The 40 mm case diameter suits medium wrists and the 3 ATM rating covers splashes and brief immersion only. Shoppers who need a date display, stopwatch function or water resistance for swimming should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification: 3 ATM water resistance

The single figure that determines suitability is the 3 ATM water resistance, equal to 30 metres or 100 feet. It protects against rain and hand-washing but not against showering, swimming or diving. If your daily routine includes water exposure beyond splashes, this watch will not meet the requirement.
