Q&Q men's watch 40 mm blue dial expanding bracelet

The first thing you notice is the blue dial, set against a bright silver-tone case and bracelet. It is a clean, uncluttered look, and at 40 mm across it sits comfortably on most men's wrists. This is a Q&Q men's watch with a quartz movement, specifically the Miyota 2035, and it is the kind of watch that quietly earns a place in your daily rotation, much like the others in our range of minimalist men's watches.

Reading the time and keeping it

The analogue display uses Arabic numerals, so you can read the hour at a glance without having to think about it. Inside, the Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps accurate time with no winding and no servicing routine. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open. The mineral glass over the dial resists scratches better than plastic glass would.

Case, bracelet and what to expect on the wrist

The round metal case is 40 mm in diameter and 8.5 mm thick, and the whole watch weighs 62 g. The stainless steel bracelet is an expanding type, so you simply slide it over your hand with no clasp to fasten. The total length is 20 cm, and the width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement to note if you ever want to change the strap. Water resistance is 3 ATM: rain and hand washing are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

Plain and light enough to forget you are wearing it, this watch works as easily with a shirt as with a t-shirt, and it needs nothing from you beyond putting it on in the morning.
