Q&Q men's watch, blue dial, steel bracelet, 40 mm

The bracelet on this Q&Q watch is built from stainless steel links in a silver tone, and a deployant clasp closes it with one simple press. That clasp also keeps the watch on your wrist when you open it, which is handy when you are putting it on in a hurry.

Case, dial and movement

The round metal case is silver-coloured and measures 40 mm across, with a slim thickness of 8 mm, so it slides easily under a shirt cuff. The blue dial has white hour markers and Arabic numerals, so the time is clear at a glance. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which keeps steady time with no winding. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic does. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers splashes and rain, but take the watch off before a shower or a swim.

Fitting the bracelet

The links come out to adjust the length, and our watch size guide shows you how to do it step by step. Keep any links you remove, as you may want them back later. The total length is 22 cm. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement to note if you ever fancy swapping to a different strap or bracelet.

Plain and steady, this men's watch works with a suit, a jumper or a T-shirt, and the metal bracelet copes with daily wear without fuss.
