AWC Square Silicone Quartz

A square-dial quartz on a silicone strap with a magnetic buckle — the watch you grab when you don't want to think about your watch.

Colin's Take

This is the sportier sibling of our square leather quartz. Same standout square case, but on a silicone strap with a magnetic folding buckle that snaps on one-handed and never needs a new hole punched. The spoke-pattern dial is more interesting than it has any right to be at this price, and with five case-and-dial combos there's a version for whatever you wear most days.

The Specs That Matter

• Movement: Quartz (battery — set it and forget it, 1–2 year battery life)
• Dial: 41mm square, spoke-pattern with date window
• Case: Alloy, 11mm thick, glass crystal
• Strap: 22mm silicone with magnetic folding buckle
• Five colorways: black/black, silver/black, silver/blue, black/brown, silver/gray

Why We Carry It

• The magnetic buckle is a legit quality-of-life upgrade — one hand on, one hand off
• Silicone strap means you stop babying it: desk, gym, weekend, whatever
• Square case + spoke dial looks like a design piece, priced like an impulse buy

The Watch Nerd Stuff

This is a TOMI-built quartz (model T021) in a squared alloy case on a 22mm silicone strap. Auto-date at the dial, pointer display, buckle is a magnetic folding clasp. It is not water resistant — treat it as splash-safe at most, and take it off before you swim. It's an affordable fashion piece, not a Swiss heirloom, and it's honest about that.
