Men's watch Q&Q 40 mm silver-tone dial

Where a basic quartz watch stops at telling the time, this Q&Q men's watch adds a few quiet refinements: luminescent hands and hour markers, a folding clasp and a stainless steel bracelet, all on a 40 mm round case in a single silver tone.

Reading the dial

The silver-tone dial keeps things restrained. Slim baton markers set out the hours without crowding the face, so the time is easy to read at a glance. Both the hands and the markers are luminescent: once they have been exposed to light, they stay legible in the dark. The display is analogue, driven by a quartz movement that keeps accurate time without any winding.

Case and construction

The case is metal in a silver finish, 40 mm across and 9.5 mm thick, a slim profile that slips under a shirt cuff. The mineral glass is more scratch-resistant than plastic. Water resistance is 5 ATM, which covers rain, splashes and handwashing. For swimming, it is better to take the watch off. If you are unsure whether 40 mm suits your wrist, our watch size guide will help you decide.

Bracelet and fit

The stainless steel bracelet is made of silver-tone links, and you adjust the length by removing one or more of them. Keep any links you take out in case you need them later. A folding clasp closes the bracelet easily and holds the watch securely on the wrist. The distance between the lugs is 20 mm, the measurement to note if you ever want to change the bracelet. Total length is 23 cm.

The metal bracelet and plain silver dial suit a day at the office as comfortably as a weekend in jeans. It is a watch you put on in the morning and rarely think about again, which is exactly the point.
