Q&Q watch for women blue steel bracelet 29 mm

The first thing you notice up close is the finish of the bracelet: stainless steel links in a silver tone, joined into a band 14 mm wide that sits flat and neat against the wrist. A deployment clasp closes it with a single click, so there is no fiddling with a buckle when you are in a hurry. Total length, watch included, is 20 cm.

Above it, a round stainless steel case of just 29 mm across and 8 mm deep holds a blue dial. The blue is calm rather than showy, the kind of shade that settles in with navy knitwear, white shirts and a good grey coat. Slim baton markers in a silver tone pick out the hours and stand clearly against the background, leaving the dial open and uncluttered. The sapphire crystal over it holds up very well against scratches.

This is a Q&Q women's watch with a quartz movement, a Miyota 2035, and an analogue display, so the time stays accurate without any attention from you. At 29 mm it suits a slender wrist, and it is light enough to forget you are wearing it. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which copes with rain and splashes. Take it off before swimming.

It works as an everyday watch, quiet enough for the office and polished enough for an evening out. If you like the silver-tone look, you will find similar styles among our silver-tone watches for women. It also makes an easy gift for someone who prefers understated things.
