Burberry Women’s 26mm Watch (BU9230)

A 26mm silver case carries a grey dial on a stainless steel bracelet, link-built rather than a stamped band, from Burberry. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n At 26mm this sits on the smaller side of the size range, wearing close to the wrist rather than sitting proud of it. It is built in solid stainless steel, finished polished, so the shine and the weight on the wrist are both coming from the metal itself. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is grey with diamond-set stick markers. The hour markers are set with stones rather than printed on, which catches light differently depending on the angle you look at it from. The crystal is sapphire, which is scratch-resistant enough that the dial should still look new well after the case has picked up its first marks. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz drives the watch, which means the only maintenance schedule to remember is an occasional battery replacement. There is no date window or other complication on the dial — just hours, minutes and seconds. \n Bracelet and Fit \n It comes on a stainless steel bracelet, link-built rather than a stamped band, adjusted by removing or adding links rather than pulling in a buckle — a jeweller or watch counter can size it in a few minutes. \n Who This Watch Suits \n This suits someone who wants a cooler grey dial with set-stone markers on a plain steel bracelet. \n Care and Maintenance \n None of the care below is demanding, but it is what separates a watch that still looks right in ten years from one that just gets old. Keep it away from perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when it is not on your wrist. If it ever needs a battery, have a watchmaker do it rather than a kiosk — the same visit lets them check the case seals, which is what actually protects any stated water resistance over time. \n About the Brand \n The house is best known for outerwear, but its watches are produced through a proper Swiss manufacturing arrangement, which is why ‘Swiss Made’ sits on the dial. Burberry keeps the case designs simple and lets the embossed check pattern do the branding, so the watch reads as understated rather than logo-heavy. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Burberry Case Diameter 26 mm Case Material Stainless Steel Case Colour Silver Movement Quartz Dial Colour Grey Crystal Sapphire Strap/Bracelet Stainless Steel Bracelet Warranty 24-month international manufacturer warranty \n Buying With Confidence \n It ships new and unworn, in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and it is covered by a 24-month international manufacturer’s warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
