Q&Q watch for women steel bracelet 30 mm gold-tone

The best everyday watch is the one you never have to think about, and this Q&Q model is built around that idea. The 30 mm round case is small and light, so it slips under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching, and you can wear it from the first email of the morning to the last drink of the evening. It is only 10 mm thick, which helps it sit neatly on the wrist.

The gold-tone finish does a lot of work for very little effort. A simple outfit looks a bit more put together with it, and a dressier one gets a quiet bit of shine. The case is metal and the stainless steel bracelet, made of links, matches it in the same warm gold-tone, so the whole watch looks like one piece. It fastens with a deployment clasp, which closes in a single click and stays put through the day.

The white dial is the sort that suits whatever you throw at it. Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers, all in black, so they stand out clearly and you can read the time at a glance, even when you are in a rush. A date display sits on the dial too, handy for anyone who loses track of the day of the month. The glass is mineral.

Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps good time and asks for very little. Apart from replacing the battery now and then, there is nothing to look after. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, so splashes and a spot of rain are fine, but it should be taken off for the shower or the pool.
