Q&Q men's watch, steel bracelet, 39 mm

The links of this Q&Q bracelet are stainless steel, joined into a silver-tone strap that ends in a deployant clasp, so the watch closes smoothly and doesn't slip off your wrist when you take it off. It is a men's quartz watch with a round 39 mm case in silver-tone metal, 9 mm thick, and a white dial.

What you see on the dial

The white dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and slim baton markers keep it clean rather than crowded. You get the date and the day of the week, and the hands are luminescent: let them catch some light and they stay readable in the dark. Inside is a Miyota 6P29 quartz movement, a dependable choice that asks very little of you. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would.

Fit, strap and water

Because the bracelet is made of links, you can adjust it yourself by removing one or more of them, and it is worth keeping any you take out. Our watch size guide walks you through the steps. The total length is 22.5 cm, and the gap between the lugs is 18 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain, splashes and hand washing are fine, but it is not meant for swimming.

At 39 mm, it suits most men's wrists, and the simple silver and white look works from the office to the weekend. It is the kind of watch you can put on in the morning and not think about again.
