Primo white women's watch with leather strap

At 8 mm thick, this rectangular Primo watch sits slim and flat on the wrist, slipping under a shirt cuff without a fuss. The strap is 22 mm wide and the whole thing measures 21.5 cm end to end with the watch included, so it wraps neatly rather than dangling or digging in.

The white dial is the star here. It is clean and bright, with Arabic numerals alternating with baton markers, so you can read the time in a glance rather than squinting at it. Nothing shouts, yet it catches the eye all the same, which is exactly what a good everyday watch should do.

The white leather strap adds warmth and softness, and it feels comfortable from the first few days. It does the rounds easily, from jeans and a jumper at the weekend to a blouse and trousers at the office. A classic pin buckle clasp keeps it secure, with no fiddly mechanism to learn. If you like the look of leather, there are plenty more to try in our women's leather strap watches.

Behind the dial sits a quartz movement with analogue display, which keeps good time and asks for no special care. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The case is stainless steel, built to cope with daily wear, and a mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of ordinary life.

Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which means it will shrug off a rain shower or a splash at the sink. Showers and swimming are another matter, so take it off before you get in. For anything else, it is ready to wear from the moment it arrives on your wrist.
