Just Watch black women's watch baton markers mesh strap

Run a finger along this strap and you feel why mesh has such a following: fine stainless steel woven into a flexible band that glides rather than clinks, and catches the light with a soft shimmer. On this Just Watch model, called Pina, the whole watch is finished in black, from the mesh strap to the metal case.

The black dial keeps things quiet and graphic. Slim baton markers stand in for the hour numbers, so there is nothing fussy to read, just clean lines against a dark background. It is the sort of face that looks equally at home with a white shirt, a knitted jumper or an evening dress.

At 32 mm across and 9 mm thick, the round case sits neatly on the wrist without dominating it. It is a classic size for a women's watch, easy to slide under a cuff and comfortable to wear from the first coffee of the morning to the last train home.

The mesh strap is 16 mm wide, and the full length of the watch, case included, comes to 22 cm. It closes with a clasp, so you fasten it and get on with your day. If you like how this one looks, our women's mesh strap watches are worth a browse for other shades and sizes.

Inside, a Miyota 2015 quartz movement keeps accurate time with an analogue display, and a mineral glass protects the dial. The water resistance is 3 ATM, which means it can handle a splash or a sudden shower of rain. Take it off before a shower or a swim.

A black watch with this much quiet character also makes a thoughtful gift, for someone else or for yourself.
