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

The first thing you notice is the colour. The dial, the case and the strap are all the same orange, so the watch reads as one solid block of colour rather than a dial set into a contrasting frame. Clear arabic numerals sit on the dial, which keeps the look simple and makes the time easy to read at a glance. It is a bright, uncomplicated piece from Q&Q, and the round shape keeps it in the family of classic women's watches despite the vivid shade.

The proportions are modest. The case measures 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, and it is made of plastic, which keeps the weight down on the wrist. The strap is orange too and closes with a standard pin buckle. The hands are luminescent, so you can still read the time when the light is poor. Overall length is 24 cm and the strap is 20 mm wide.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind: the only upkeep is changing the battery from time to time. The water resistance is 10 ATM, which covers surface swimming. It is not designed for diving. If you want one bold colour that does not need much thought, this watch does that job cleanly.
