Just Watch red women's watch 32 mm leather strap

Red is a colour that does the talking for you, and on this watch it appears twice: a red dial and a red leather strap, set against a silver-tone case. Wear it with a navy knit, a crisp white shirt or a little black dress and it becomes the one deliberate splash of colour in the outfit. With denim it looks relaxed rather than dressy, which is part of its charm.

The Just Watch model, named Antoni, has a round case of 32 mm in metal, only 8 mm thick, so it sits neatly on most wrists without looking oversized. The dial is analogue and uses Arabic numerals, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance and gives the face a calm, classic look.

The leather strap is 14 mm wide and fastens with a pin buckle, so you can set the length to the hole that suits you best. Overall length, case included, is 23 cm. Leather tends to feel comfortable quickly, and the red tone mellows nicely with daily wear.

Inside is a quartz movement, a Miyota 2035, chosen for accurate timekeeping with nothing to wind. A mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of everyday life. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which means splashes and a passing shower are fine, but take it off before swimming or bathing.

If the silver-tone case appeals to you, you will find more in the same spirit among our women's silver-tone watches. As a gift, this one is easy to get right: elegant, quietly confident and simple to pair with almost anything in a wardrobe.
