Choosing a style

For a dress watch, look at the CURREN 8452 Slim Steel at £35 or, for women, the 8 mm CURREN 9081 at £40. For everyday wear and the gym, the SKMEI digitals from £30 add alarms and stopwatches, and five of the seven are rated 5 bar. The LIGE 9866 (£40) and CURREN 8291 (£45) are quartz chronographs, with a stopwatch on the dial.

Women's watches

Women's dress watches here run from the 23 mm rectangular CURREN 9093 to the 40 mm LIGE 10049. Rose gold on models such as the NAVIFORCE NF5004 and POEDAGAR 3011 is a finish, not solid gold, and the stones on the OLEVS 5189 and 9943 are glass crystals, not diamonds. See all women's watches or men's watches.

Water resistance

Check the rating before you shower. Of the 34 watches here, 25 are rated 3 bar, which means rain and hand-washing only. The other nine are 5 bar, which covers showers and a short swim. Our water resistance guide explains each rating.
