Just Watch white women's watch Arabic numerals leather strap

Start with the case, because that is where this watch earns its keep: a small oval shape in stainless steel, finished in a silver tone, only 8 mm thick. It sits low and neat on the wrist, and the oval gives it a softness you don't often see among round-faced everyday watches. The white dial is bright and uncluttered, with Arabic numerals that make reading the time quick and easy, even at a glance across a busy desk.

The strap is black leather, 12 mm wide, and it does what good leather does: it starts a little firm and slowly softens as it learns the shape of your wrist. It closes with a classic pin buckle, and the whole watch measures 19 cm in length. Black against white and silver-tone is a simple trio, but it works with almost anything, from jeans and a knit to something smarter. If you like this look, you will find more like it among our silver-tone women's watches.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, accurate and easy to live with. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic, and the water resistance of 5 ATM means rain and splashes are no trouble, though it is best taken off for swimming. It is the sort of watch that also makes a thoughtful gift, plain enough to suit many tastes and pretty enough to feel like a treat.
