Q&Q gold-tone women's watch with rhinestones steel bracelet

Stainless steel has a pleasing weight against the skin, cool for a moment and then quietly warm, and on this Q&Q watch it is finished in a soft gold tone that feels more polished than showy. The bracelet is made of links, so it moves easily with your wrist and catches the light as you do.

The round case, also in gold-tone metal, frames a white dial with a clean, uncluttered look. Arabic numerals and slim baton markers sit side by side, and the black markers stand out clearly against the pale background, so the time is easy to read at a glance. Rhinestones add a gentle sparkle that appears whenever you turn your hand, never overpowering the rest of the design.

At 30 mm across and 10 mm thick, this is a small, neat women's watch that suits a slim wrist. The bracelet is 14 mm wide and the whole watch measures 20 cm from end to end. A deployment clasp closes it securely with a single click.

Gold-tone jewellery is its natural partner. Layer it with a fine chain or a few thin bangles and the effect is cohesive rather than busy. If you enjoy pieces with a little sparkle, you may like to browse our other jewellery watches for women.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, accurate and undemanding. Apart from the occasional battery change, it asks for no particular care. The hands are luminescent, which helps when you check the time in low light.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, enough to cope with a shower of rain or splashes, though it is best taken off before bathing or swimming. It would make a thoughtful gift for someone who prefers quiet elegance to anything loud.
