Q&Q women's orange watch, silicone strap

Orange is a colour that does a lot of quiet work. Worn against a navy knit, a crisp white shirt or a pair of faded denim, this Q&Q watch adds a single warm note and lets the rest of the outfit stay calm. It suits neutral wardrobes particularly well, where one confident accent is all you need.

The dial is orange too, set within a round case of the same shade, so the whole watch reads as one clean, unbroken tone. The display is analogue with Arabic numerals, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance without any fuss.

At 41 mm across and 11 mm thick, the case has a definite presence on the wrist, yet the plastic it is made from keeps it light. The silicone strap is orange as well and stays comfortable when the weather turns warm. It is 21 mm wide and about 25 cm long including the case, and the pin buckle lets you fine-tune the fit one hole at a time.

Inside, a Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps accurate time and asks nothing of you. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic glass would. With water resistance of 10 ATM, it copes with a swim at the surface, though it is not designed for diving.

It works from the office to the weekend, and it is equally at home on an active day out. If this one catches your eye, you will find more like it among our women's sports watches. It also makes an easy gift for a birthday or simply to say thank you.
