Eichmüller women's watch, white dial, metal bracelet

This watch suits the woman who wants one dependable piece for the working week and the weekend, without having to think about what it goes with. The Eichmüller has a round case in silver-tone metal, a white dial and a matching metal bracelet, a combination that sits comfortably with a denim jacket as easily as with a little black dress.

The white dial is the main feature. The sub-dials give it a chronograph-style look, which adds some interest to an otherwise clean, uncluttered face. Reading it is straightforward, since the display is analogue and there is a date function for checking the day at a glance. The crystal is mineral glass, which stands up to scratches better than plastic does.

At 36 mm in diameter and 9 mm thick, the case has a definite presence on the wrist without feeling oversized. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and made of links, so the fit is adjusted by removing one or more of them. If you are unsure which size will suit you, our watch size guide explains how to measure your wrist.

Inside is a quartz movement, the TMI PC32, which keeps accurate time with no winding and no routine attention beyond an occasional battery change.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM. That covers splashes and everyday contact, for instance washing your hands. It does not cover showering or swimming, so take the watch off for both. Treated with that in mind, and wiped over now and then, a metal watch like this keeps its finish well.
