Cheap Magnum gold-tone ladies' watch with steel bracelet

The first thing you notice is the blue dial against all that gold-tone metal. It is a clean contrast, easy to read at a glance, and the Roman numerals give the face a classic, slightly dressy look. This Magnum watch keeps things simple and lets the colours do the work.

The round case measures 31 mm across and 8 mm thick, a proportion that sits neatly on a woman's wrist without looking oversized. The case is metal in a gold-tone finish, matched by a stainless steel bracelet in the same shade. The links give it a polished, put-together feel, and the bracelet is 16 mm wide.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind or set up beyond the time itself. Over the years you will only need to replace the battery now and then. The mineral glass over the dial is more scratch-resistant than plastic, which helps it keep its good looks day to day. The deployant clasp closes with a click and stays secure.

It is a sober, versatile piece that works for the office, weekends and everything in between, and an inexpensive way to add a touch of gold-tone to your wardrobe. It also makes an easy gift.
