Q&Q men's watch 38 mm silicone strap

Looking for a gift for a man who is always on the move? This Q&Q men's watch is a practical pick: a round 38 mm case, a blue dial and a black silicone strap that shrugs off sweat, sand and rain.

Case, crystal and water resistance

The case is black plastic, 10 mm thick, which keeps the weight down to 28 g. The synthetic crystal copes well with knocks, though it will scratch more easily than mineral glass. Water resistance is 10 ATM, so swimming and splashing at the surface are fine, but it is not a diving watch. Avoid pressing or turning the crown under water. At 38 mm across it suits most men's wrists, and the watch size guide will help you check before you buy.

Reading the time

The analogue dial is blue with black details and Arabic numerals, so you can read the time at a glance without any thinking. Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement. It needs no winding or adjusting, and when the battery runs out you simply replace it.

On the wrist

The black silicone strap rinses clean under the tap and closes with a pin buckle. It is 18 mm wide between the lugs, a figure worth noting if you ever want a spare strap, and 25 cm long in total.

For hikes, gym sessions or an active weekend, it keeps up without fuss and looks neat enough for everyday wear.
