The Festina F20704_1 is built around a stainless steel case.
Case and Wrist Presence
The case is worked in stainless steel. The surface treatment is polished.
Movement and Functions
A quartz analog movement drives the watch.
- 24-hour display – a 24-hour indication
- Water resistance – 10 ATM (100 metres)
- Mineral crystal – protecting the dial
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The bracelet is stainless steel. Sizing is a five-minute job for a jeweller – links come out to bring it to your wrist.
Water Resistance and Everyday Durability
The watch is rated to 10 ATM, or 100 metres of static pressure. In practical terms that covers rain, hand washing, showering and recreational swimming. It is not a dive watch, so leave it behind for scuba diving and keep it away from high-pressure water jets. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water.
A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size.
Care and Maintenance
None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. Rinse the case in fresh water after a swim, especially in the sea, and dry it before it goes back on. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new.
Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish.
About the Brand and Ownership
The appeal of a Festina is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones.
The Short Version
What you are getting is a bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it.
