Just Watch ladies' watch rose gold-tone blue mesh strap

Looking for a present that feels personal without being risky? A blue and rose gold-tone watch is a safe bet for a birthday, an anniversary or a well-earned treat for yourself. The Just Watch is the sort of gift that gets opened, tried on straight away and worn the next morning.

The colour combination does the talking. A blue dial sits inside a rose gold-tone metal case, and slim hour markers keep the face clean, so the blue stays the star. It is a soft, slightly unexpected pairing that works just as well with a white shirt as with a grey jumper.

Then there is the shape. The case is rectangular, which makes a nice change from the usual round faces, and at only 7 mm thick it slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching. Easy to forget you are wearing it, which is exactly what you want from an everyday watch.

The blue stainless steel mesh strap is fine and flexible, and it feels soft against the skin. It is 16 mm wide and closes with a hook clasp. Measured end to end, watch included, it comes to 22 cm, so have a quick look at your wrist before you buy or before you gift it.

Inside, a Miyota GN10 quartz movement keeps time reliably, and the mineral glass protects the dial from the little knocks of daily life. The display is analogue, with no fuss and nothing to set up beyond the time.

One practical point: water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, which means it copes with rain and the odd splash. Showers and swimming are best done without it. Wear it for work, lunches, weekends and evenings out, and it will fit in everywhere.
