Q&Q men's watch blue dial 38 mm

Most basic quartz watches stop at telling the time and give you little else to go on. This Q&Q men's watch adds a few details that make it easier to live with: a blue dial with both Arabic numerals and baton indices, silvered markers, and water resistance rated at 10 ATM, all in a round 38 mm case.

Dial, movement and legibility

The blue dial is easy to read at a glance, even when you are on the move. Arabic numerals and baton indices work together, so there is no hesitation over the hour. The indices are silver-coloured and stand out cleanly against the blue. Inside, the quartz movement keeps reliable time with an analogue display. When the battery weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The synthetic glass is light and copes well with knocks, and a light scratch can be polished out.

Case, strap and fit

The case is black plastic, 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, which keeps the watch light at 30 g. That diameter suits most men's wrists, and our watch size guide can help you check it against your own. The black strap closes with a pin buckle and measures 24 cm in total length. Width between the lugs is 18 mm, which is the figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap. At 10 ATM you can swim and bathe in it at the surface, but it is not meant for diving, and you should avoid operating the crown underwater.

This is a watch for every day, at work or at the weekend. The plain black and blue colouring goes with most outfits, and it sits among our minimalist men's watches. Its low weight means you will barely notice it on the wrist.
