The best thing about this QBOS watch is how little it asks of you. The quartz movement keeps time on its own, the dial uses clear Arabic numerals so you can read it in a glance between meetings, and the mineral glass shields the dial from the knocks and scrapes of a normal day. Put it on in the morning and forget about it until you need the time.
The look is simple and warm, built around a faux leather strap that feels soft on the wrist. The round metal case measures 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, so it has real presence and is not one of those tiny, shy watches. It suits a bolder taste, and it holds its own next to a chunky knit or a crisp shirt.
The strap is 22 mm wide and closes with a classic pin buckle, the kind you can adjust without any fuss. Total length, watch included, is 26 cm. It has an analogue display, with no screen to charge and no buttons to learn.
It works just as well at the office as it does on a weekend walk or an evening out, because the colours and shape stay easy to dress up or down. And since it is an inexpensive watch, you can pick it up without a second thought. If you like the style, you will find similar designs among our women's watches with leather-look straps.
