Q&Q rose gold-tone watch for women steel bracelet

The case of this Q&Q watch combines matt and polished surfaces, a finish that catches the light along the edges while keeping the sides understated. The case is metal in a rose gold-tone, and the dial and the stainless steel bracelet carry the same colour, so the whole watch reads as one piece. Baton-style hour markers keep the dial uncluttered, and the luminescent hands let you read the time in the dark.

At 40 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick, the round case is a generous size for a women's watch, aimed at those who like a watch to be noticed. The bracelet is made of links and is fastened with a deployment clasp. The mineral glass over the dial guards against the small knocks of daily wear. If the bracelet needs shortening, links can be removed, and our watch size guide explains how to find the right fit for your wrist.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which keeps things simple and accurate. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough to cope with a splash or a shower of rain, but the watch should be taken off before bathing or swimming. The rose gold-tone finish works well with soft shades and equally well with black.
