Just Watch women's turquoise watch, steel bracelet

The first thing you notice is the steel. Both the case and the bracelet of this Just Watch model are stainless steel in a silver-tone finish, with the cool, slightly weighty feel that metal gives against the skin. The links are jointed so the bracelet follows the wrist rather than sitting stiffly on top of it, and it is 16 mm wide, a proportion that suits a small case.

Against all that silver-tone metal, the dial is a clear turquoise. It is a bright colour but a flat, uncomplicated one, and it reads well in most light. Arabic numerals share the dial with baton markers, and the silver-tone details stand out cleanly from the background, so checking the time takes a glance.

The case is round, 34 mm across and 11 mm thick. That is a fairly compact size, comfortable on most wrists and slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff. The look is deliberately plain: no extra decoration, just one strong colour and a metal finish. The model is called Amely.

Inside is a quartz movement (a Miyota 2115) with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and the time stays steady. A date function is included, and the mineral glass over the dial protects it from the knocks of everyday wear.

The bracelet fastens with a deployant clasp, which keeps it secure and means you never have to stretch it open to put the watch on. Its total length is 22 cm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM, which covers swimming and bathing, though not diving.

Turquoise and steel go with more than you might expect, from a crisp shirt to a knit jumper.
