Q&Q blue women's watch, plastic case, 38 mm, 10 ATM

If you are looking for a gift for a woman who likes things practical and uncomplicated, this Q&Q watch is a sound choice. It is a blue women's watch with a round 38 mm case, large enough to read at a glance and still comfortable on a slim wrist. It works as an everyday piece rather than an occasion piece, which makes it an easy present to get right.

The colour scheme is consistent: the case, dial and strap are all blue, so the watch looks cohesive on the wrist. The dial carries arabic numerals, and the orange markers stand out clearly against the blue background, so the time is never in doubt. The hands are luminescent, which helps when you check the time in low light. It pairs equally well with a shirt or a jumper, and it suits weekday outfits as much as weekend ones. If you like this look, you can compare it with other models in our classic women's watches.

The case is made of plastic, and the watch weighs 30 g in total. The case is 10 mm thick and the strap is 20 mm wide. The full length is 24 cm, and the pin buckle clasp lets you adjust the fit hole by hole. The glass is synthetic, which also keeps the weight down.

Inside is a quartz movement (Miyota 2035) with an analogue display, so it keeps accurate time without any winding. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which covers swimming at the pool but not diving. For guidance on choosing the right size and style, you can read our advice on how to choose a watch.
