Grey Just Watch women's watch with mesh strap

Plenty of watches wear a stainless steel bracelet, but few feel as soft against the skin as this one. Instead of stiff, chunky links, Darcie from Just Watch has a fine mesh strap that moves with your wrist and settles into place, so you stop noticing it is there. That is what sets her apart from a basic metal watch.

The dial is a quiet grey, the kind of shade that never competes with what you are wearing. Slim round hour markers keep the face delicate and easy to read, and the silver-tone case frames it neatly. It sits happily with denim and a plain knit on a Saturday, and just as comfortably with a little black dress in the evening.

At 35 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case is slim and understated, sized to suit most wrists without looking oversized. The mesh strap is 12 mm wide and the whole watch measures 21.5 cm end to end, case included, so it wraps closely and neatly.

The strap closes with a hook clasp, which makes it simple to put on and take off. If you enjoy this soft, flowing look, you will find more in our collection of women's mesh strap watches, all in the same spirit.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time accurately without any fuss, and the mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of everyday life. The case is metal and the strap is stainless steel, in a silver tone that matches the case.

Water resistance is 3 ATM, enough to cope with a passing shower of rain, but do take it off before bathing or swimming. It also makes a thoughtful present, whether you are choosing for someone you love or quietly hoping to be given it yourself.
