Q&Q black women's watch leather strap

Black is the quiet choice, and this Q&Q women's watch wears it well. The black dial and black leather strap sit comfortably with a crisp white shirt, a grey knit or a pair of dark jeans, and the silver-tone case adds a thin line of brightness without ever drawing too much attention.

The dial is where the watch earns its keep. White Arabic numerals alternate with baton markers against the black background, so the time reads at a glance. The display is analogue, uncluttered and easy on the eye, which is exactly what you want on a watch meant for every day.

The round case is made of stainless steel and measures 36 mm across and 8.5 mm thick, a size that sits neatly on the wrist rather than perching on top of it. The black leather strap is 18 mm wide and fastens with a classic pin buckle, so you can set the fit hole by hole. Overall length is 24 cm, and the whole watch weighs only 39 g, light enough to forget you are wearing it.

Inside is a quartz movement, the Miyota 2035, known for keeping accurate time with no fuss. The glass is sapphire, which stands up very well to scratches. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are no problem, though it is wise to take the watch off before swimming.
