Women's silicone and rhinestone watch ERNEST salmon

Salmon is a quiet colour to wear, and it takes the edge off the brightness of the silver case. The strap is silicone, so it stays soft against the wrist, and the fully set bezel picks up light whenever the hand moves.

Reading the dial at a glance

Three small sub-dials sit inside the metallic salmon face, with rhinestone hour markers in place of the usual batons. Only three numerals appear, at 12, 8 and 4, in a soft grey-blue and at a size that breaks up the circle. The ERNEST name appears just under the twelve.

Adjusting the strap

The strap is built from jointed silicone links, so it keeps the give of the material while borrowing the look of a metal bracelet. It closes with a silver-coloured pin buckle, and two keepers hold the loose end flat. The punched holes let you set the fit rather than settle for the nearest notch.

A 3.7 cm salmon silicone watch on the wrist

The case measures 3.7 cm across, a size that stays legible without swamping a slim wrist. Two rows of rhinestones run right around the bezel. The crown sits at three o'clock, in line with the strap.

Colours that sit well with salmon

Salmon goes easily with cream, camel and pale denim, and it stands out more against grey or navy. The silver case sits comfortably alongside silver-toned jewellery. Under a long sleeve, the bezel is usually the only part that catches the light. If the shade is not the one you want, look through the other silicone colours.

Keeping the silicone clean

A damp cloth and a quick dry are all the strap asks for. It shows few marks, but it does hold traces of hand cream, so wipe it down after you apply any. When the battery runs out, the spare supplied with the watch takes over.
