Ladies' watch Just Watch black steel bracelet 41 mm

The best thing about this Just Watch is how easy it is to live with. You put it on in the morning, fasten the folding clasp with a single click and forget about it until someone compliments it. The quartz movement is a Miyota 2115, reliable and happy to run without fuss, and all it asks for is a new battery every so often.

The black dial is the kind that goes with whatever you have pulled out of the wardrobe. There are no numerals, just slim silver-tone hour markers that stand out clearly against the dark background, so the face stays calm and uncluttered. The model is called Elia, and it has the polished, grown-up look that suits jeans and a blazer as well as a little black dress.

At 41 mm across and 10 mm thick, it is a watch with real presence, made for anyone who likes to see the time on the wrist without squinting. The round case is metal in a silver-tone finish, and the stainless steel bracelet is made up of links in the same silver-tone shade, 22 mm wide. Total length with the watch is 23 cm. That cool grey-silver sits comfortably next to nearly any colour you can think of.

Day to day, the mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks that come with bags, door frames and desks. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so a sudden downpour is nothing to worry about, but do take it off before a shower or a swim.
