Q&Q men's watch red silicone strap 34 mm

The first thing you notice is the strap: soft, smooth red silicone that sits lightly on the wrist and never feels stiff or sticky. This Q&Q men's watch pairs it with a round black plastic case of 34 mm, a black dial and a quartz movement, which makes it a simple, easygoing watch you can simply put on and forget about.

A strap that copes with sweat and water

Silicone shrugs off sweat, rain and swimming, and a quick rinse under the tap is all the cleaning it needs. The strap is 20 mm wide and 24 cm long in total, and it fastens with a pin buckle, so you can set the fit hole by hole until it feels right.

A compact case for slimmer wrists

At 34 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case is discreet rather than chunky, and the plastic keeps the weight down. If you are unsure whether this diameter suits your wrist, our watch size guide will help you decide. The crystal is synthetic, so it absorbs knocks well, though it will mark more easily than mineral glass.

Easy to read at a glance

The black dial carries white hour markers, with Arabic numerals alternating with baton indexes. That mix lets you read the time instantly without counting marks, even when you are on the move. The analogue display keeps things uncluttered.

Quartz movement and water resistance

The quartz movement keeps reliable time with no fuss. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. Water resistance is 10 ATM, which covers swimming and bathing at the surface but not diving. Avoid operating the crown underwater.

With its plain black face and splash of red, it goes with almost anything, from weekend jeans to a gym bag or a day outdoors. It is a watch you will reach for without thinking, which is exactly the point.
