Q&Q men's watch 40 mm steel bracelet silver-tone dial

If you are looking for a gift for a man who prefers quiet good taste to anything showy, this Q&Q quartz watch is an easy choice. It pairs a 40 mm round case with a silver-tone dial and a steel bracelet in the same finish, so the whole watch reads as one calm, cohesive piece.

On the wrist: dial, movement and fit

The silver-tone dial is clean and easy to read, with slim baton hour markers that keep the layout orderly. The hands carry a luminescent coating, so after a little exposure to light they stay visible in the dark. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, accurate and free of any winding or setting routine. When the battery runs down, it simply needs replacing.

The case is metal and measures 40 mm across and 10 mm thick, a proportion that suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which is comfortable for rain, splashes and washing your hands. It is best taken off for swimming.

Bracelet and clasp

The stainless steel bracelet is made of links, 20 mm wide, with a total length of 23 cm. To adjust it, you remove one or more links, and it is worth keeping any you take out. Our watch size guide explains how to do it step by step. A deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a click and keeps the watch securely on your wrist when you open it.

Understated enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend, it is a watch that fits into an ordinary week without any fuss, and one that is easy to give and easy to keep wearing.
