The LaCoste Club Men's Watch |
Watch Features
What can you list as a watch feature on a minimalist watch? This one features the LaCoste Logo at 12 o'clock and a date window at 6 o'clock. The hours are market with simple shiny silver batons.
It has an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. It also has a comfortable band that feels smooth and cool against the wrist.
Most of all, it features a simple and elegant look. You'll find the LaCoste trademark alligator logo on the dial, the crown, the caseback, and the bracelet clasp. For more photos of the LaCoste Club watch and these details, bang it here.

Watch Construction
The LaCoste Club watch features a stainless steel case and bracelet. The dial is protected by a mineral crystal. According to the caseback, the watch has 3 BAR (30 meters) of water resistance. It's enough water resistance to ward off a little rain and wash your hands. But, this is a dressy watch for the office or a night out, not a watch for SCUBA diving.
It looks just great on the table at my local P.F. Changs. As a small drawback, I do find that the watch does tend to collect smudges or fingerprints on the crystal. But, a quick wipe of a napkin or on a shirt fixes it right up.
Watch Dimensions

The length of the bracelet is generous and I found that it fit my wrists perfectly without any modification.
These proportions are great for wearing to the office or to functions requiring a long-sleeved dress shirt.
Overall Impression
In general, I really like this watch. It's a nice lightweight watch with solid construction and a band that feels smooth against the skin. It's a great value and a heck of a find at the low (sub-$50) price point offered by Burlington. At conventional retail outlets, the LaCoste Club Watch is still a good watch at current price points. As a familiar brand, it also checks all the boxes for the minimalist look.
