Cheap ladies' watch Xinjia black digital grey dial silicone

At 24 cm in total length with a 21 mm strap, this Xinjia watch sits neatly on the wrist without swamping it. The case is only 13 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff without catching, and the plastic case keeps the weight down so you barely notice it is there.

The shape is rectangular, which makes a pleasant change if most of your watches are round. The dial is grey, set against a black case, and it has a quiet, slightly sporty look that never tries too hard. Black is the sort of colour that goes with everything, so it works just as well with a jumper and jeans as it does with something smarter in the evening.

The strap is black silicone, soft and comfortable, and it stays that way on warm days when other materials start to feel clammy. The pin buckle clasp lets you choose your own fit, one hole at a time, so you can have it snug for a run or a little looser for the office.

It is a digital watch, so you read the time in plain numbers with no guesswork. Beyond that you get the date, the day of the week and a chronograph, which is handy for timing a workout, a pot of tea or a phone call you would rather keep short. Inside is a quartz movement, simple and dependable, and when the battery eventually runs out a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means it copes with splashes and hand washing without any fuss. Take it off for the shower or a swim, though, as that is beyond what it is built for.

It is also an inexpensive watch, which makes it an easy one to add to your collection or to give as a small gift. If you like the look of digital displays, you can browse more women's digital watches in the shop and compare styles side by side.
