Cheap Donna Kelly silver-tone women's watch wrap strap

The first thing you notice is the strap: soft, supple synthetic leather in a quiet shade of blue, long enough to wind twice around the wrist. It sits close to the skin and moves with you, more like a favourite bracelet than a watch you have to think about.

Against that blue, the silver-tone metal case and dial catch the light without shouting. The dial is plain and easy to read, with slim hour markers instead of numerals, and nothing else competing for attention. It is the kind of restraint that makes a watch look more considered than it is.

This is a Donna Kelly women's watch with a round case just 30 mm across and 7 mm thick, so it suits slender wrists and slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching. The strap is 14 mm wide and the total length, case included, is 56 cm. The whole watch weighs only 26 g, which you will barely register by the end of the day.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, and the glass is mineral. The strap closes with a push-button clasp, so it fastens neatly and stays put once wrapped.

Styling it is easy. The blue and silver combination works with a crisp white shirt, a grey jumper or a dark dress, whether you are at your desk, out for the weekend or heading somewhere dressier. It is also inexpensive enough to keep a second one for variety.
