Q&Q white women's watch, Arabic numerals, 38 mm

At 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, this Q&Q watch sits as a round, clearly visible piece on the wrist rather than a discreet one. The case is plastic, so the size comes without much weight: the whole watch comes to just 30 g.

Everything is white. The case, the dial and the strap share the same colour, which keeps the look clean and uniform. Against the white dial, the arabic numerals do the work of telling the time, and there is nothing else on the face to compete with them.

The hands are luminescent, a practical detail if you check the time in a dim room or after dark. It is the only extra function on the watch, and it suits a design that is built around easy reading.

The strap is 20 mm wide and closes with a classic pin buckle, so you set the length hole by hole. Total length is 24 cm, case included. If you like a plain, readable design, you will find similar pieces among our classic women's watches.

Inside is a quartz movement, Miyota 2035, with an analogue display. It needs no winding and no particular upkeep: only the battery has to be replaced from time to time. The crystal is synthetic, which also helps keep the weight down.

Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which covers swimming at the pool. It is not designed for diving, so keep it out of that kind of use.
