Q&Q ladies' watch green steel bracelet

Green is one of those colours that looks far more versatile than you would expect, and on this Q&Q watch it works as a soft, easy neutral. Wear it with a crisp white shirt, a cream knit, denim or a navy dress, and the dial quietly picks up the mood without shouting about it. Arabic numerals on the dial keep the time easy to read at a glance.

The silver-tone case and stainless steel bracelet add a cool, polished contrast to all that green. It is a round watch with a 34 mm case, a size that sits neatly on most wrists, and at 9 mm thick it slips under a cuff without any fuss. If you like the look of this finish, you will find more like it among our silver-tone women's watches.

On the practical side, the bracelet is made of links and is 16 mm wide, with a total length of 21.5 cm including the case. It fastens with a deployant clasp that closes in one click, so putting it on in the morning takes a second. Inside, a quartz movement keeps accurate time and needs no attention from you, and the analogue display keeps things simple.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means it can cope with a sudden shower, but take it off before showering or swimming. It is an easy one to wear from the office to dinner, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or simply for someone who deserves a treat.
