Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without costing a fortune? This QBOS women's watch with a faux leather strap is an easy yes for a birthday, a thank-you or a treat you give yourself. It arrives looking sharp and goes with just about everything in a wardrobe.
The first thing you notice is the size. The round metal case measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so it sits on the wrist with real presence. If you like your watches bold and a little oversized, this is exactly that look, and it is very much in step with what people are wearing now.
The strap is faux leather, soft and easy to look after, and 22 mm wide. It runs 26 cm from end to end and fastens with a classic pin buckle, so you choose the length hole by hole until it feels right. Nothing fiddly, nothing to learn.
Reading the time is just as straightforward. The analogue dial uses Arabic numerals, which means a quick glance is all it takes, even on a hectic morning.
As for styling, this strap is happy in plenty of settings. Wear it with jeans at the weekend, with a shirt for work, or over the cuff of a chunky jumper. It is a simple watch that does not ask you to plan an outfit around it.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time reliably, and a mineral glass protects the dial. At this price it is inexpensive, yet it still looks the part. If you enjoy this style, take a look at the rest of our women's watches with leather-look straps too.
