Q&Q two-tone women's watch steel bracelet

What separates this Q&Q watch from a basic quartz model is the combination of a compact 30 mm round case with a full steel bracelet in two tones, rather than a plain strap and a single finish. The case and bracelet both mix two metal colours, which gives the watch a more finished look on the wrist. The dial is white, with Arabic numerals that make the time easy to read at a glance, and a mineral glass protects it.

The size suits slim wrists. The case is 9 mm thick, the bracelet is 16 mm wide and the whole watch measures 20 cm from end to end. The bracelet is made of stainless steel links and closes with a deployant clasp, so it fastens in one movement and sits flat. Because the finish is two-tone, it pairs easily with both warm and cool jewellery, and it works as well with a shirt as with a jumper, at the office or at the weekend. If you like this style, you can browse more women's watches with a link bracelet in the same family.

Inside, a Miyota 2015 quartz movement keeps time accurately with an analogue display, and a date function is included. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough to cope with a splash or a shower of rain. Take it off before swimming or showering. It also makes a straightforward gift for anyone who prefers a simple, well-balanced watch.
