If you are looking for a gift that will actually get worn, this Donna Kelly women's watch is a safe choice. It is inexpensive, but it does not look it: a black dial with Arabic numerals, a silver-tone case and a black stretch bracelet in stainless steel. The black and silver-tone pairing suits both a birthday present and a small treat you give yourself.
The case is round, 42 mm across and 7.5 mm thick, which makes it a watch you notice on the wrist rather than one that hides under a cuff. The Arabic numerals on the black dial keep the time easy to read at a glance. The movement is quartz with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to set beyond the time. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The glass is mineral.
The bracelet has no clasp to fasten. It is a stretch design that slips on over the hand, which is handy if you put your watch on and take it off several times a day. The bracelet is 20 mm wide and the full length measures 20.5 cm. Black goes with most outfits, from office wear to an evening out, so it works Monday to Saturday.
