Just Watch silver-tone women's watch 34 mm mesh strap

What you notice first is the glow. The dial is silver-tone, bright and clean, and it catches the light the moment your wrist moves. Around it sits a small round case that looks refined rather than showy.

The dial is marked in Roman numerals, which gives the watch a quietly classic air. It reads easily at a glance, with nothing fussy competing for your attention. This is the Just Watch model known as Melike.

At 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, the metal case sits slim and neat on the wrist. It is big enough to be seen and small enough to disappear under a shirt cuff, which is exactly the balance many people want from an everyday watch.

Then there is the strap. It is a mesh strap in stainless steel, silver-tone like the case, and it feels soft and flexible against the skin. It measures 12 mm wide and closes with a hook clasp, and the whole watch is 22 cm from end to end. If you like this style, you will find more like it among our women's mesh strap watches.

Wear it with a crisp white shirt for the office, or with a chunky knit at the weekend. A single silver tone from case to strap means it sits happily next to most of your jewellery without any clashing.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display, accurate and simple to live with. All it asks for is a new battery now and then. The mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so splashes and hand washing are fine, but take it off before a shower or a swim.
