Festina F16822/4

Festina F16822/4 — Festina Quartz Watch (43mm, Black Dial)

The Festina F16822/4 is a men's quartz watch with a 43mm stainless steel case, black dial, and 5 atm (50 metres) — built for daily wear and light-to-moderate water exposure, but not for diving or high-impact water sports.

Who It's For

A fit for someone who wants a clean, everyday men's watch — a black dial that doesn't demand much thought once it's on the wrist. This is a quartz piece rather than a mechanical one, so it suits someone who wants precise timekeeping without winding, servicing schedules, or the collector's angle on movements.

F16822/4 vs. Other Festina F16822 References

All Festina F16822 references share the same case, movement, and build — they're the same watch in different dial colours. The F16822/4 comes in black. Other references in this family: Festina F16822/3, Festina F16822/A. The only meaningful difference between references in this family is the dial — everything else about the watch is shared.

Care Tips

The only maintenance to plan for is periodic battery replacement, typically in the 1–3 year range depending on usage patterns. Mineral crystal resists the usual daily bumps, though it will scratch more easily than sapphire — avoid abrasive contact like sand or loose tools in the same pocket. A steel strap is about as low-maintenance as it gets — an occasional wipe and a rinse after salt water or chlorine exposure is really all it asks for.

Limitations

This covers handwashing, rain, and swimming in a pool, but it isn't built for diving or watersports with real pressure behind them.

Common Questions

Is this watch okay for the pool? Yes to pool swimming and the occasional shower — just know that heat and steam are harder on seals than plain water, so it's not something to do daily for years without a service check.

How long does the battery last? Yes, it runs on a replaceable battery. Most quartz batteries in this range last 1–3 years before a swap is needed.

What's different between the F16822/4 and other Festina F16822 references? Only the dial colour — case size, movement, strap, and water resistance are identical across the Festina F16822 family.
