Lorus Men's Analogue Quartz Watch with Fabric and Canvas Strap – RXF41AX7

I like this watch A LOT! I have normally made do with 10-20 pound cheap watches for work and cycling etc and binned them rather than replace straps and batteries which I always felt a bit ethically morose about-but for barely a tenner more this one looks like a keeper on every level. It is beautifully made, seems to be keeping accurate time (so far!) and has the slight cache of Seiko behind it. It is just the right size for my skinny wrists (I can't carry off one of those chunky 4cm = monsters that every body seems to want these days. It is mindbogglingly clear without losing a degree of finesse. And the 'lumbrite dial is just extraordinary! The supplied strap is fine. Basically a 'Zulu' style. Straps are a personal preference so it's not worth getting into a state about it if it is not to your liking. I currently have it on a black and grey 'Nato' strap which is broadly similar but suits it even better. They only cost a couple of quid or three. It would look just as good with others and it happily crosses over the boundries of sports/formal wear. All in all - a good buy and I am very enamored.

I bought my first version of this watch 1997 AND IT WAS STILL GOING THIS YEAR. A tremendous performance for such an inexpensive watch. The only reason it failed is because a watch repairer tried to dry the inside with a hairdryer and melted the face. (It was damp - my fault - I showered not realising the crown was "out"). In 18 years it never lost time and functioned perfectly - who can say that about any watch. I was heartbroken when the watch repairer broke it and was pleased to find it still on sale after all this time. It is feather-light and comfortable and the face is easy to read (unlike some newer styles). I would recommend this to anyone.

My only two negative criticisms are that the nylon web watch strap that came with it was poor quality, and the width of the strap was only 17 mm as opposed to more standard 18 mm and 20 mm wide mens watch straps. This may cause a problem with fitting a leather strap to the watch in future. Apart from that, this is an excellent time piece that's great looking and very easy to read.

This nice little watch is perfect for all of you with a small wrist size.It doesn't weigh very much, has a Seiko movement and is normally well constructed and will probably work for many years to come.However, the watch I received was faulty and lost several minutes over night and it wasn't the battery cause I changed it. But the seller,Time Out, was very fair to me and simply send me a new watch. What a great service! I gave the watch 4 stars for the usual reason: it doesn't have a sapphire crystal. The watch and seller is recommended!

My dad has had one of these for many (10+) years and when my grandad needed a new watch while he was in hospital this is what was recommended. Both of them love it and being able to see it in the dark is a huge bonus. My grandad particularly wanted one with a date display and is able to read this as it is nice and clear. The strap is soft and won't rub or dig in. The timepiece itself is standard sized and easy to adjust.

Watch is fine but the strap is poor quality single piece of fabric that fits under the watch and through the spigots.

A great watch and a real bargain. I work as a product photographer and my studio is dimly lit in order to control the amount of light needed to illuminate a subject, therefore a watch that I can see under those conditions is perfect. It's accurate, easy to read, slim, lightweight and comfortable to wear. Highly recommended.

Came the morning after the afternoon I ordered it - only had it a couple of days but it does everything I need from a watch. I like it because it isn't too big and chunky so it rides under my cuffs but it isn't a girly watch. Seems robust and well built but at this price I'm not too worried.
