Just Watch pearly-dial ladies' watch 32 mm steel

If you are looking for a gift for a woman who likes a watch that is polished but not showy, this Just Watch is a sensible choice. It is a women's watch with a round 32 mm case in silver-tone metal, a pearly dial and a two-tone stainless steel bracelet. The case is 8 mm thick, so it sits neatly under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve. It works equally well at the office, at the weekend or for an evening out.

The dial is where the watch earns its keep. The pearly surface has a soft sheen with gold-toned accents, and sparkling touches catch the light as the wrist moves. Well-drawn Arabic numerals and black markers stand out clearly against the background, so the time is easy to read at a glance. The hands are luminescent, which helps when the light drops. The movement is a Miyota 2035 quartz, and the glass is mineral, which resists scratches better than plastic.

On the practical side, the bracelet is made of links and is adjusted by removing one or more of them. Our watch size guide explains how to measure your wrist before you start. The bracelet is 16 mm wide and the total length, watch included, is 19 cm. It closes with a butterfly clasp that folds in two, leaving no visible buckle. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which covers splashes. Keep it off for showers and swimming.
