Q&Q men's watch black dial 40 mm steel bracelet

Looking for a gift for a man who just wants a watch that works and looks right with everything? This Q&Q men's watch is a straightforward answer: a black dial, a silver-tone steel bracelet and a round 40 mm case, powered by a quartz movement.

What you get on the wrist

The black dial with Arabic numerals makes the time readable in a glance, with no squinting or guesswork. The case is silver-coloured metal, 8 mm thick, with a mineral glass. At 40 mm it is a standard men's size, and if the recipient is between sizes, the watch size guide helps you decide before you buy. The stainless steel bracelet closes with a deployant clasp, which snaps shut and stops the watch slipping off when it is taken off. Lug width is 20 mm, worth noting if a spare strap is ever wanted, and the total length is 22 cm.

Looking after it

The quartz movement keeps reliable time without any winding. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the watch is open. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Showers, baths and swimming are not recommended. To fit the bracelet, remove one or more links (the size guide explains how) and keep the spare links in a safe place in case the fit needs adjusting later.

Plain and tidy, it works with a shirt at the office, a jumper at the weekend or a suit at a wedding, which makes it an easy gift to get right.
