Usage: where and what to wear with

Thanks to the neutral silver color and restrained rectangular shape, the watch is equally appropriate with a business shirt and an everyday sweater. The metal bracelet doesn't chafe the wrist, and the light weight of 60 g means that after a few hours you'll forget it's there at all. Electroluminescent backlight allows you to read the time in a dark room or at night without unnecessary movements.

Difference: why this model and not a more modern analog

Most budget digital watches have a plastic case and rubber strap. A159WA-N1 is completely metal: both case and bracelet. This gives a different feel on the wrist and a different level of durability. At the same time, the model retains all practical functions - alarm, chronograph with LAP, backlight - without unnecessary complications. The retro silhouette with octagonal corners and "accordion" bracelet sets it apart from similar rectangular cases and is not tied to any specific fashion season.
