QBOS gold-tone women's watch 46 mm faux leather strap cheap

The first thing worth knowing about this QBOS watch is how it is put together: a round metal case in a warm gold tone, 46 mm across and 13 mm thick, with a dial in the same gold finish and a mineral glass over the top to protect it. Nothing fussy, just a solid, confident shape that sits boldly on the wrist.

The dial is where the personality is. Clean Arabic numerals are drawn clearly against the gold, so you can read the time at a glance, whether you are at your desk or heading out for the evening. The gold tone stays easy on the eye rather than loud, and it pairs naturally with any gold-tone jewellery you already love, from slim chains to a favourite pair of earrings.

Soft grey faux leather makes up the strap, and it is a lovely contrast to all that gold. It is supple, undemanding to look after, and 22 mm wide, which suits the generous case. A classic pin buckle fastens it, and the full watch measures 26 cm from end to end. If you enjoy this look, you will find more like it in our collection of gold-tone women's watches.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps analogue time quietly and reliably, with no winding and no fuss. It is also an inexpensive way to add a little polish to your wardrobe, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or simply as a treat for someone who deserves one.
