Q&Q women's watch black plastic strap

If you want a watch that keeps up with a busy week and never makes a fuss about it, this Q&Q is made for you. It suits the woman who goes from a morning swim to the office to a Friday night out, and would rather not change her wrist accessories three times along the way. Black on black is the whole idea here: a black dial inside a black case, on a black strap, which means it sits happily next to almost anything in your wardrobe.

Reading the time takes no effort. Arabic numerals mark the hours on the dial, and the gold-tone hour markers stand out clearly against the dark background. The face is analogue, round and uncluttered. At 32 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case is neat enough for most wrists and slim enough to slip under a cuff. Both case and strap are plastic, so the whole thing feels light, and the strap is flexible and quick to rinse under the tap after a workout.

On the practical side, the strap is 14 mm wide and fastens with a pin buckle, so you can set the length hole by hole until it feels right. The total length including the watch is 22.5 cm. Inside is a quartz movement, reliable and undemanding: the only upkeep is changing the battery now and then. The synthetic glass keeps the weight down too. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which is plenty for the pool and for rain on the school run, though not meant for diving.

It leans sporty, yet black keeps it versatile enough to look tidy at your desk and understated in the evening. If you like the idea of a casual, active style, have a look at our women's sports watches to compare other options. And if you are shopping for someone else, a watch this easy to wear makes a very good gift.
