Just Watch white ladies' watch leather strap

The best thing about this watch is how little thought it asks of you. Pull it on in the morning, buckle it up and get on with your day. At 27 mm across and just 26 g, it sits lightly on the wrist, so you will not be tugging at it during a long shift or a long train ride.

It is a women's watch from Just Watch, known as the Tessa, and the look is clean and warm. The white dial carries a mix of Arabic numerals and baton markers, which makes the time easy to catch at a glance, even when you are walking and checking your wrist on the move.

The round case is stainless steel in a silver-tone finish, 9 mm thick, and it protects the dial with mineral glass against the everyday knocks that come with bags, door frames and desks. Against it, the black leather strap adds a softer, more relaxed note. It is 14 mm wide, soft to the touch, and closes with a classic pin buckle. Total length, watch included, is 22.5 cm.

That strap is easy to dress up or down. It works with jeans and a jumper at the weekend just as well as with a smart office outfit, so one watch can cover a lot of your week without ever looking out of place.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, simple and dependable. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes, and you are back to normal. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which means swimming and splashing at the surface are fine, though this is not a diving watch.

It also makes an easy gift for a birthday or for no reason at all. If you would like to compare it with similar styles, have a look at our silver-tone watches for women, and our guide on looking after your watch will help keep the leather and the case looking good for longer.
