Eichmüller ladies' watch rose gold-tone leather strap 32 mm

The best thing about a watch you can wear all day is that you stop thinking about it. At 32 mm across and only 7 mm thick, this Eichmüller sits low and light on the wrist, slips under a shirt cuff and does not catch on a jumper sleeve. You can type, commute, carry shopping and still forget it is there.

The look is soft rather than showy. The stainless steel case has a rose gold-tone finish that warms up the skin, and the round dial is a pale pink that goes with nearly everything in your wardrobe. Think cream knits, denim, a navy coat. It also lifts an all-black outfit, which is where a touch of rose gold-tone really earns its place.

The pink leather strap is 16 mm wide and starts out firm, then loosens and gently moulds to your wrist the more you wear it. A leather strap likes a bit of care, so keep it away from long soaks and wipe it down with a dry cloth when it needs freshening up.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and no fuss with settings: you put it on and it tells the time. The water resistance is 3 ATM, which copes with splashes and handwashing. Take it off before a shower or a swim, and before anything steamy.

It also makes an easy gift for a birthday or just because, as it suits most tastes and most outfits without any guesswork. If you like the colour, have a look at the rest of our rose gold-tone watches for women and compare a few styles side by side.
