Q&Q men's chronograph watch, blue silicone strap

The first thing you notice is the colour: a blue square case, a blue silicone strap and a grey dial that keeps the display easy to read. This is a Q&Q men's watch with a digital display and a chronograph, built around a quartz movement. It is one of the practical models in our range of men's digital watches.

What it does

Beyond the time, the display shows the day of the week. A second time zone can be kept alongside the main one, which helps if you travel or work with colleagues abroad. The chronograph is run from the buttons and suits timing a session or a short race, and an alarm completes the set. The quartz movement keeps steady time with no winding. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

Case and water resistance

The case is plastic in blue, with a matt finish and a square shape that stands apart from the usual round cases. It is 11 mm thick and weighs 29 g, so it stays light on the wrist. The crystal is synthetic: light and good at absorbing knocks, though it marks more easily than mineral glass. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing. It is not meant for swimming.

Strap and fit

The strap is blue silicone, 18 mm wide, with a total length of 22 cm. It copes with sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. The pin buckle clasp adjusts hole by hole, so you can set the fit exactly.

With its light weight and simple upkeep, it works as an everyday watch, from the office through to the weekend.
