Just Watch gold-tone women's watch white leather strap

Look closely at the strap and you will notice it tapers: it is 18 mm wide at the case and slims down towards the clasp, which gives the white leather a neat, elongated line on the wrist. The case itself is a barrel shape in gold-tone metal, only 8 mm thick, so it sits low under a cuff or a knitted sleeve instead of catching on it. The glass over the dial is mineral, a sensible choice for knocks against door frames and desk edges.

The dial is white and bright, with Arabic numerals and black markers that stand out clearly against the background, so reading the time takes a glance and nothing more. It is a Just Watch women's watch, and the combination of warm gold-tone and soft white leather works with almost anything, from a plain tee and jeans to a work blazer. If you like this look, you can find more in our gold-tone watches for women.

On the practical side, a Miyota 2035 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss. The classic pin buckle lets you adjust the fit hole by hole, and the full length, watch included, is 24 cm. At 32 g it is light enough that you will forget it is there. Water resistance is 5 ATM, so rain and splashes are no problem, but take it off before swimming. It comes in a presentation box, which makes it an easy gift to hand over as it is.
