Q&Q men's watch blue silicone strap 40 mm

You come out of the pool, rinse your wrist under the tap and check the time without fumbling. That is the kind of day this Q&Q men's watch is built for: a blue quartz watch with a 40 mm round case and 10 ATM water resistance.

Reading the dial

The dial is blue with Arabic numerals and white hour markers, so the time is clear at a glance. The hands are luminescent. Once they have been exposed to light, they stay readable in the dark. The display is analogue, driven by a quartz movement that keeps accurate time without any winding.

Case, strap and fit

The case is blue plastic, 40 mm across and 10 mm thick, which keeps the weight down on the wrist. If you are unsure whether this diameter suits you, the watch size guide will help you decide. The blue silicone strap is 23 mm wide, 24.5 cm long in total, and closes with a pin buckle clasp. It rinses clean under fresh water, which suits sport and outdoor days.

The 10 ATM rating covers swimming and bathing, but this is not a diving watch. Do not press the crown or the pushers while the watch is in water. The synthetic glass is light and copes well with knocks, though it scratches more easily than mineral glass. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

It is an easy watch to wear every day, at work or at the weekend, and it keeps up with hiking and active days without fuss.
