As well as the skeleton hands to give you the time, there’s also a digital time display with day, date, month and stopwatch functions.

The watch is water resistant to 100m, so it’s suitable for swimming. Some users have reported that the battery life is short, but overall we found this a well-priced choice for someone with an active lifestyle.

Timex is a well-known and respected watchmaker and this Expedition Katmai model offers great value for money.

The large round bezel is chunky and rugged in design, with a black face and yellow accents which pick out the second hand and the function buttons.

This watch features Timex’s Indiglo backlight technology, so you can hit the button to light the face if you need to check the time in the dark.

The fabric strap with buckle closure feels robust and is available in a choice of colours. The other buttons around the bezel are for chronograph, alarm and timer functions.

• Rugged and robust design
• Backlit face to tell the time in the dark
• Water resistant to 50m
• Great value for a Timex timepiece

Another quality and good value timepiece from Timex, this Tactic model has a rugged and hard wearing design.

The chunky style features a large, 54mm diameter bezel and a buckle closure plastic strap. In addition to the hour, minute and second hands, there are several digital displays for functions such as the calendar and alarm, and Timex’s indiglo backlight function allows you to light up the face after dark.

Around the edge of the face is a list of international locations, and outside the bezel are buttons to activate the various functions.

This watch can display two time zones, has a 24-hour military time mode and the 24-hour chronograph has 1/100-second resolution.

This watch is also water resistant to 50m so is suitable for swimming. Although some may find the style too chunky, it’s great for withstanding the knocks of active leisure or work activities.

• Sleek but sporty style
• Bracelet style strap with clasp closure

Naviforce is a relatively new brand, founded in 2012 in China, so doesn’t yet have the reputation of some of the longer-established watchmakers.

The design of this ana digi fashion watch manages to be both sleek and sporty, with a black stainless steel bezel and bracelet with a clasp closure.

This is a stylish watch at a very attractive price point. The slightly textured face has an analog day display in addition to the hour, minute and second hands, plus two digital displays.

Two time zones can be displayed which makes this ideal for a frequent traveller. The face is also backlit to help you view the digital displays after dark.

• Solar powered
• Hand shift feature (moves hands so you can see digital displays clearly)
• Shock resistant
• Countdown timer and five separate alarms

Casio’s G-Shock collection of watches has long been popular for sporty design, durability and Casio quality.

This particular model benefits from solar technology, meaning the lithium battery can last up to 20 years. A chunky stainless steel bezel is set on a black polyurethane strap offering a blend of style and performance. We liked the attention to the technical aspects and functions of this watch.

For example, press the ‘hand shift’ button and the analog hands will move out of the way of the digital displays, giving you a clear view.

Press the button again and the hands return to the correct time.

Other features include a backlit face, countdown timer, alarm (you can set up to five), and a day, date and month display. This watch is also water resistant to 200m making it a recommended all-rounder.

• Fashionable and durable design
• Shock resistant
• Solar powered
• LED light

This Casio Baby-G Ladies’ watch manages to successfully blend sporty and sophisticated style in one design. The white polyurethane strap is an elegant alternative to dark colours and complements the stainless steel bezel.

This watch delivers on function as well as appearance, with world time for 31 different time zones and 48 cities, full auto calendar, countdown timer and stopwatch. There’s also a battery level indicator as this is a solar powered timepiece.

We like the LED light which effectively illuminates the face. It’s water resistant to 100m making this watch versatile enough to wear for swimming and outdoor activities as well as work or a dressier occasion.
