Watch for men Q&Q 42 mm grey silicone strap

At 42 mm across and 15 mm deep, this Q&Q men's watch sits as a proper, visible presence on the wrist: a round case with some volume to it, neither dainty nor oversized. If you are unsure how that diameter will look on you, the watch size guide is a quick way to check. The strap is grey silicone, closed with a pin buckle, and the movement is quartz.

Reading it, day or night

The dial is black and the hands stand out cleanly against it, with Arabic numerals marking the hours so you can read the time at a glance. Both the hands and the hour markers are luminescent. Let them soak up some light and they glow in the dark, which helps in a dim room or on an early walk. The display is analogue throughout.

Case, strap and everyday wear

The case is white plastic, which keeps the weight down despite the 42 mm size. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, so it copes with swimming and splashing, though it is not made for diving, and it is wise to keep the crown untouched while wet. The quartz movement keeps steady time without fuss. When the battery eventually runs low, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

The grey silicone strap shrugs off sweat and water and rinses clean in seconds. It is easy to live with, from a desk day to a weekend outdoors, and it pairs happily with casual clothes. Its fit is straightforward too, thanks to the pin buckle you will know from any classic strap.
