Eichmüller gold-tone women's watch faux leather strap

At 32 mm across, this Eichmüller sits neatly on the wrist: big enough to read at a glance, small enough to look like a piece of jewellery rather than a gadget. The case is only 10 mm thick, so it slides under a shirt cuff without a fuss.

The case is gold-tone metal, round and warm, and it frames a white dial that goes with pretty much everything in your wardrobe. Look closely and you will spot small cubic zirconia stones set into the dial. They catch the light every time you move your arm, a little flash here and there rather than a full blaze.

The strap is black faux leather with a croc-style grain, which gives the watch a dressier look than plain smooth black would. It is 16 mm wide, and because it is synthetic, a quick wipe with a cloth keeps it looking tidy.

Inside, a quartz movement (the TMI PC21) keeps time accurately and quietly, with a simple analogue display. A mineral glass protects the dial from the everyday knocks that come with desks, bags and door frames.

On the water side, the watch is rated 3 ATM, which covers splashes such as washing your hands or a spot of rain. Showers and swimming are best left to another watch, so take it off before you get in.

It works from the office to a Saturday lunch to an evening out, and it makes an easy gift too. If you like the idea of a watch that doubles as an accessory, have a look at the rest of our women's jewellery watches, and keep our care tips to hand so yours stays looking good for years.
