Women's white silicone ERNEST watch

A 39 mm case and a dial you can read at a glance

White runs right through this watch: strap, case and dial share one shade. The grey numerals are large enough to read without squinting, and three small dials sit at the centre, with pale hands and the ERNEST signature alongside.

Even hours, raised markings on the bezel

Only the even hours are printed: 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, with finer markers spaced between them. The bezel carries raised graduations of its own, and two small buttons flank the crown on the right-hand side. A few polished details along the case stop the white from looking flat.

Wearing white without overthinking it

White is easier to live with than its reputation suggests. It sits happily against navy, denim and grey, and it lifts an all-black outfit without introducing another colour to worry about.

The strap, the buckle and the fit

The silicone strap closes with a pin buckle, so you set the length yourself and it stays where you put it. Silicone is flexible and sits without pinching, which suits a wrist that swells slightly by the evening.

Where to keep it between wears

Give the strap a spot of its own rather than a handbag pocket, where keys and coins will scuff it. It is worth keeping it off a sunny windowsill too, since prolonged light is what dulls a white finish first. Store the spare battery in the same place, and you will not be hunting for it on the morning the hands stop.
