Q&Q purple digital ladies' watch silicone strap

If you are looking for a present for a woman who likes her accessories to be useful as well as pretty, this purple Q&Q watch is an easy choice. It is a quiet sort of gift, the kind that gets worn every day rather than kept for best.

The colour is the first thing you notice. The case and the silicone strap share the same violet, while the dial is grey, which keeps the whole watch looking composed rather than loud. The round case measures 40.5 mm across and 14.5 mm thick, so it has a definite presence on the wrist. It is made of plastic, which keeps it light, and the whole watch weighs just 35 g.

The strap is silicone, soft against the skin and comfortable even on warmer days. It is 22.5 mm wide and closes with a classic buckle. Total length, watch included, is 21 cm. The display is digital and easy to read at a glance, with the synthetic crystal adding to the lightness.

Behind the display sits a quartz movement, dependable and undemanding. Alongside the time you get the date, a chronograph and a second time zone, which is handy for keeping track of a friend or relative abroad or timing a morning run. Water resistance is 10 ATM, so it copes with swimming laps at the pool, though it is not meant for diving.

It sits happily with trainers, a casual jumper or a weekend outfit. If you enjoy its style, you can find more like it among our digital watches for women.
