Eichmüller grey women's watch mesh strap

At 30 mm across and 9 mm thick, this Eichmüller sits close and quiet on the wrist, the sort of size that suits a slim wrist and never looks like it is trying too hard.

The round case is stainless steel in a soft grey, and it meets a black dial that keeps everything calm. Behind the mineral glass, the analogue display stays clean and easy to read, with nothing to distract from it.

The strap is a fine stainless steel mesh in the same grey, woven so that it moves with you and follows the line of the wrist. It is 16 mm wide, narrow enough to look refined and light, and the tone matches the case, so the whole watch reads as one piece.

That grey and black pairing is easy to wear. It sits comfortably with knitwear in the week, a plain shirt at the weekend or something darker in the evening, without competing with your jewellery.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, which keeps good time without any fuss. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are no trouble, though it is best taken off before you swim.
