Looking for a present for the man who is always on the move, hiking on Saturday and swimming on Sunday? This Q&Q men's watch is a practical pick: a big 46 mm round case in black, a silver dial and a black resin strap that rinses clean under the tap.
The silver dial keeps things simple, with slim black hour markers and hands you can read at a glance. Both hands and markers carry a luminescent coating, so once they have caught some light they stay readable in the dark. Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement: accurate, no winding, no setting up. When the battery runs out, you simply replace it.
The plastic case is black and keeps the weight down to 49 g, which you notice on a long day. It is 12.5 mm thick, and with a 46 mm diameter it suits larger wrists best. The synthetic crystal copes well with knocks, and a light scratch can be polished out. Water resistance is 10 ATM, so swimming and splashing at the surface are fine, but it is not meant for diving. Avoid touching the crown while it is wet or underwater.
The black resin strap is 30 mm wide and 26.5 cm long in total, and it closes with a pin buckle you can adjust hole by hole until it sits just right. After a muddy trail or a swim, rinse it in clear water and it is ready again. If you like this look, you can browse more men's watches on a silicone strap in the same sporty spirit.
Day to day, it goes from the office to a weekend outdoors without fuss, a watch for someone who would rather be doing things than worrying about their wrist.
