Cheap women's watch QBOS gold-tone brown faux leather strap

Plenty of gold-tone watches look the same from across the room. What makes this QBOS different is the warmth of its brown dial, which softens the metallic shine and gives the whole watch a cosy, slightly vintage feel instead of the usual flash. It is the sort of watch people notice and then ask you about.

The round case is gold-tone metal and measures 46 mm across, so it has a confident presence on the wrist. At 13 mm thick it sits proud rather than flat, which suits anyone who likes a watch with some character. Arabic numerals on the dial keep the time easy to read at a glance, and the mineral glass over it stands up to scratches better than plastic would.

The strap is brown faux leather, 22 mm wide, and it picks up the colour of the dial nicely. A wipe with a soft cloth is all it needs to look fresh. The pin buckle clasp lets you set the length to the hole that feels right for you, and the full length is 26 cm including the watch itself.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time accurately without any fuss, and the analogue display means no buttons or settings to think about. You simply put it on and get on with your day, from a Monday morning meeting to a Saturday evening out, with jeans, a smart dress or a chunky knit.

It is also an inexpensive way to treat yourself, which is really the spirit of the shop. If this one has caught your eye and you like the glow of gold-tone, have a look at the rest of our gold-tone watches for women too.
