Q&Q black watch for women mesh strap

You are halfway through a coffee and reaching for your sleeve at the same time. This Q&Q watch is the kind you glance at without having to think about it. The black dial is plain and easy to read, with Arabic numerals and baton indexes marking the hours.

The case is round and measures 36 mm across, with a thickness of 8 mm. That is a size that sits neatly on the wrist without looking oversized, and the stainless steel case is built to take daily wear. The case is silver-tone, which gives a clean contrast against the black dial.

The strap is a mesh bracelet in silver-tone stainless steel, fine and flexible, and soft against the skin. It is 18 mm wide and closes with a clasp. The total length, watch included, is 23 cm. If you like this style, you can compare it with other models in the women's mesh strap watches range.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display. It keeps accurate time and needs no particular upkeep. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The sapphire crystal is very resistant to scratches.

Water resistance is 5 ATM. That covers rain and splashes during the day, but this watch is not designed for swimming.

Black and silver-tone goes with most things, whether you wear a shirt to work or a jumper at the weekend. It also makes a straightforward gift, for someone else or for yourself.
