Cheap Donna Kelly multicoloured ladies' watch stretch 33 mm

Most small watches are content to be plain and a little forgettable. This Donna Kelly is not one of them. The dial is multicoloured, which means it does the work of several outfits at once, picking up a navy stripe one day and a warm knit the next. Clear Arabic numerals keep the time easy to read at a glance, so the colour never gets in the way of the practical side.

At 33 mm across, the round case sits in that comfortable middle ground: noticeable without taking over your wrist. It is 8 mm thick, slim enough to slide under a cuff. The case is metal in a silver-tone finish, and the whole look has a slightly nautical, easygoing feel that suits a striped top rather well.

Best of all, there is very little fuss in wearing it. The stainless steel strap is a stretch style, so there is no clasp to fiddle with. You simply slide it over your hand and go. The strap is 18 mm wide and the watch measures 18.5 cm in total, which is worth keeping in mind if you like to picture how it will sit on your wrist.

Inside is a quartz movement, the dependable kind that keeps steady time without any winding, with an analogue display and a mineral glass over the dial to guard against everyday knocks. It is an inexpensive watch, but it has enough personality that you will reach for it more often than you expect.
