Men's watch Q&Q chronograph black silicone strap 44 mm

Most basic quartz watches tell you the time and little else. This Q&Q goes further: it is a chronograph with a date, an alarm and a second time zone, all on a black digital display in a 44 mm round case. If you like the idea of one watch that handles the working day, the gym and the odd trip abroad, it is worth a proper look.

What it does on your wrist

The black dial keeps everything easy to read at a glance, even when you are on the move. The date sits in its own window, and the second time zone is handy when you travel or need to call someone in another country. The chronograph times an effort from the buttons, and the alarm rounds things off. Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and simple, with nothing to wind or adjust. Only the battery needs changing from time to time. It is part of our range of men's digital watches.

Case, strap and comfort

The case is black plastic, 44 mm across and 14 mm thick, so it has real presence while staying light. If you have a slim wrist, check that it suits you before choosing. The matt finish keeps it understated rather than flashy, and the synthetic glass copes well with knocks. The water resistance is 10 ATM, fine for swimming and splashing about, though not for diving, and it is best not to press the crown underwater. The black silicone strap shrugs off sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and measures 22.5 cm in total. The width between the lugs is 22 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap.

It is a sober, practical watch that you soon forget you are wearing, which makes it an easy choice for every day, at work or at the weekend.
