Q&Q watch for men anthracite dial 43 mm steel bracelet

Anthracite and silver is an easy pairing: this Q&Q men's watch slips under a shirt cuff at the office, then looks just as at home with a grey sweatshirt or a dark denim jacket at the weekend. The round dial sits in a 43 mm silver-coloured metal case, with a steel bracelet to match and a quartz movement inside.

What you see on the dial

The dark anthracite dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals mean there is no squinting to tell the time. The hour markers are silver. Both the hands and the markers are luminous, so after a little time in the light they stay readable when it gets dark. The movement is analogue quartz, accurate and fuss-free: no winding, only the battery to replace now and then. The mineral glass sits over the dial, and water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and hand washing. It is not meant for swimming.

Case, bracelet and fit

At 43 mm across and 11.5 mm thick, the case has a real presence on the wrist. If your wrist is slim, check the size first, and our watch size guide shows how to measure and how to resize the bracelet by removing links. Keep any links you take out, as they can come in handy later. The stainless steel bracelet closes with a deployant clasp, which fastens easily and stops the watch dropping when you take it off. Lug width is 20 mm, worth noting if you ever want a spare strap, and the total length is 23 cm.

It is a watch built for daily wear, from the commute to the weekend, and the metal bracelet keeps it easy to live with whatever the day holds.
