Just Watch taupe women's watch silicone strap

Most silicone watches are built to be forgotten in a drawer between runs. This one, from Just Watch, is a little more considered. The 34 mm round case and the taupe dial are in the same quiet shade, and the strap follows it, so the whole watch reads as one soft, tonal piece rather than a sporty accessory. It sits comfortably with knitwear, linen shirts and plain tailoring, and it never competes with the rest of what you are wearing.

The case is metal, 12 mm thick, and the dial is analogue, which keeps the time easy to read at a glance. The strap is silicone in taupe with a gold-tone touch, flexible against the skin and simple to rinse clean. A pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole, so the fit is yours rather than approximate.

Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and undemanding. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, which is plenty for rain and splashes at the sink, though this is not a watch for swimming. If you like the relaxed, practical side of a silicone strap, you will find similar ideas among our women's sports watches.

Quiet in colour, easy in the wearing, and sized for slimmer wrists as well as average ones, it is a watch for the days you simply want to put it on and get going.
