Watch for women rose gold-tone Just Watch Alice mesh strap

At 41 mm across, this Just Watch Alice is a generous size for a women's watch, and it sits on the wrist with a deliberately oversized look. The round case is only 7 mm thick, though, so it stays slim under a cuff and does not catch on knitwear.

The case and dial are both rose gold-tone, which gives the face a single, uniform colour. Slim baton hour markers keep the dial uncluttered, and the warm tone is what carries the design. Against it, the stainless steel mesh strap is silver in colour, so the watch has a soft contrast between warm and cool metal rather than a matching set.

The mesh strap is fine and flexible, so it follows the shape of your wrist instead of sitting stiffly on top of it. It is 20 mm wide, and the total length including the case is 23.5 cm. It closes with a clasp. If you like this type of strap, you can compare other women's mesh strap watches in the shop.

Inside is a Miyota GL20 quartz movement with an analogue display. It is accurate and simple, and when the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The crystal is mineral glass, which resists scratches better than plastic does.

The water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough to cope with a shower of rain. Take it off before showering or swimming. Day to day, the neutral shape and the soft metal tone work equally well with a shirt or a jumper.
