Just Watch women's watch, black, 32 mm, mesh strap

The first thing you notice about this Just Watch is the strap. The stainless steel mesh is fine and supple, and it moves with your wrist rather than sitting stiffly on top of it. Against the skin it feels light and smooth, with a soft drape that suits a quiet, polished look. This one goes by the name Virginia.

The black dial is the contrast to all that silver-tone metal. It draws the eye without shouting, and small dots mark the dial with a light, delicate touch. The round case is silver-tone metal, 32 mm across and 8 mm thick, a classic size for a women's watch that sits neatly under a cuff or a knitted sleeve.

The strap is 16 mm wide and closes with a hook clasp. Measured from end to end, case included, it comes to 23 cm. It is a simple, steady companion for everyday outfits, whether that means a work blazer or a weekend shirt.

Inside is a VJ21 quartz movement with analogue display, reliable and straightforward. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic glass would. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, so a passing shower of rain is no problem, but take it off before showering or swimming.
