Q&Q blue women's watch with silver-tone steel bracelet

Most small silver-tone watches play it safe with a white or grey dial and leave it at that. This Q&Q does something a little braver: the dial is a soft, clear blue, and it is the first thing anyone notices on your wrist. Slim baton hour markers keep the face calm and uncluttered, so the colour does all the talking without any fuss.

At 30 mm across, the round case is neat and delicate, and it sits comfortably on a slender wrist. It is just 8 mm thick, so it slips easily under a cuff or a knitted sleeve. The case is metal in a silver tone, and it matches the stainless steel bracelet link for link. The bracelet is 14 mm wide and gently narrows towards the clasp, which makes the whole watch feel lighter and more graceful than you might expect from steel. The overall length is 22.5 cm.

Putting it on is easy too. The deployment clasp closes securely, so there is no worry about the watch slipping off as you fasten or open it. Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time accurately with an analogue display, and the glass is mineral. It is the kind of watch you can set once and then simply enjoy wearing, with jeans on a Saturday or with a blouse at your desk on Monday.

For everyday life, the water resistance is 3 ATM, which is fine for rain and the odd splash at the sink. Take it off for the shower and the swimming pool. If this blue dial has caught your eye and you fancy seeing what else goes with it, have a look at our silver-tone watches for women.
