Just Watch dark blue women's watch leather strap

The first thing you notice is the leather. The strap on this Just Watch is black, soft to the touch and comfortable from the first days on the wrist, the kind of strap that settles in rather than needing to be broken in. It is 14 mm wide and fastened with a classic pin buckle, so you can set the length to the exact hole that suits you. Together with the watch, the whole piece measures 22.5 cm and weighs only 26 g.

Against that black leather, the stainless steel case has a silver-tone finish that keeps the look clean and quiet. It is round, 27 mm across and 9 mm thick, a delicate size that sits lightly on a slim wrist. The dark blue dial gives the watch its character, with Arabic numerals and baton markers in silver-tone that stand out clearly, so the time reads at a glance. It works as easily with jeans and a knit as with a tailored office outfit, and if you enjoy this finish you will find more in our women's silver-tone watches.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display, reliable and undemanding. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The crystal is mineral glass, and the water resistance is 10 ATM, which covers splashes, swimming and bathing, though not diving. A watch known as Tessa, understated enough to wear every day.
