Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without being fussy? A white watch on a soft strap is the sort of gift that gets worn the next morning. This Chill women's watch is a good candidate for a birthday, a thank-you or a little treat for yourself, and since it is rather inexpensive, you can happily pick one up for a few different people.
The first thing you notice is the colour. The dial is white, the strap is white, and the whole look stays clean and light. There are no numbers at all, only slim baton markers for the hours, so the dial reads calmly and never feels busy. It is the kind of face that lets the rest of your outfit do the talking.
The strap is faux leather, supple and easy to keep looking tidy with a quick wipe. It is 16 mm wide and closes with a pin buckle, so you can fine-tune the fit hole by hole. Total length is 22 cm. If you like the idea of a classic strap, have a look at our women's watches with leather straps for more shades and styles.
The round metal case measures 36 mm across and 8 mm thick. It has enough presence to be noticed without taking over a slim wrist, and the whole watch weighs only 30 g, so you will barely register it after the first few minutes.
Wear it with jeans and a jumper on Saturday, then keep it on for the office on Monday. White goes with almost everything, from navy tailoring to a summer dress, which is exactly why it makes such an easy gift.
Inside is a quartz movement, a Miyota 2035, so the time stays accurate without any winding or fuss. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with a splash or a shower of rain, but not to be worn in the shower or the pool.
