Q&Q men's watch green dial steel bracelet 42 mm

The stainless steel bracelet on this Q&Q men's watch is built from links in a silver finish, 22 mm wide and 23 cm long in total, and it closes with a deployant clasp. Around the wrist sits a round 42 mm case, 11 mm thick, with a silver-tone metal finish and a green dial that catches the eye without shouting.

Reading the time at a glance

Arabic numerals and baton markers share the green dial, so you read the hour without counting marks. The hands and hour markers carry a luminescent coating: give them a little light during the day and they stay legible once it gets dark. The display is analogue, driven by a quartz movement that keeps accurate time without any winding. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time.

Fitting the bracelet

To adjust the length, you remove one or more links, and it is worth keeping any you take out in case you need them later. The deployant clasp snaps shut in one click and means the watch is far less likely to slip and drop when you take it off. If you are unsure whether 42 mm suits your wrist, our watch size guide walks you through both the case and the bracelet.

Water resistance and build

Rated at 5 ATM, the watch copes with rain and splashes at the sink. For swimming, take it off. The glass is mineral, and the whole watch weighs 111 g, which you will notice as a reassuring heft rather than a burden.

It is a watch for ordinary days, whether that means the office, a weekend walk or an evening out. Pair it with a shirt or a plain jumper and the green dial does the talking.
