Looking for a present for a man who prefers things simple and tidy? This Q&Q men's watch is a good place to start. It pairs a round 36 mm silver-tone metal case with a white dial and a black faux leather strap, and it runs on quartz.
The dial is white with black hour markers and Arabic numerals, so there is never any doubt about the time. The hands are luminescent: once they have taken in some light, they stay readable in the dark. The display is analogue, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would.
The quartz movement needs no winding and no attention. All it asks for is a new battery now and then. It is the sort of watch you put on and forget about.
At 36 mm across and 9 mm thick, it slips under a shirt cuff easily and suits slimmer wrists well. If you are unsure about the fit, the watch size guide will help you choose. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Take it off before a shower or a swim.
The black faux leather strap is 18 mm wide and 24 cm long in total. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and a damp cloth is enough to keep it clean. The black strap against the silver-tone case looks smart without being fussy, so it works as well at the office as at the weekend. It makes an easy, thoughtful gift, and one that will actually get worn.
