Q&Q white women's watch with faux leather strap

Most basic quartz watches are a small, quiet affair. This Q&Q takes the opposite route with a 41 mm round case, a size that reads clearly on the wrist and suits anyone who prefers a watch to be noticed. The case is metal in a silver-tone finish and only 9 mm thick, so the extra diameter does not make it bulky.

The dial is white and carries Arabic numerals, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance. It is a plain, bright face that works with most colours, and the silver-tone case frames it cleanly. If you like this look, you can see similar pieces in our women's silver-tone watches.

The strap is faux leather in pink, which gives the watch a softer character than the white dial and metal case would suggest on their own. It is 20 mm wide, and the total length is 24.5 cm including the case. A standard pin buckle lets you set the fit hole by hole. Wipe the strap with a cloth to clean it.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, a simple and reliable setup that needs no winding. The crystal is mineral glass, which stands up to scratches better than plastic.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with a shower of rain but not designed for swimming, so take it off before washing or bathing. Worn with jeans at the weekend or with office clothes on weekdays, the pink and white combination keeps things neat and easy to match.
