A 22mm case is small enough that the watch stops being an instrument and becomes a bracelet with hands. That is clearly the intent here: a rose gold-tone round case, a pale sunray dial, and small crystals in place of every hour marker. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n 22mm across, which is about the size of a large coin. On a narrow wrist it looks proportionate and delicate; on a wider one it will read as jewellery rather than as a watch, which is fine if that is what you want. It sits under any sleeve and adds no bulk at all, and it stacks easily beside bangles because it is so narrow. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Small crystals mark all twelve hours, set directly into a pale sunray dial that runs from champagne near the centre to a warmer tone at the edge. Two thin rose gold-tone hands. There is no minute track and no numerals, so reading this to the exact minute takes a moment; reading it to within five is instant. At this size the crystals also serve to catch the eye, since the dial itself is so small. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. Nothing else would fit and nothing else is needed. The crown at three is fluted and very small; use fingertips rather than nails when pulling it out to set the time. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Narrow leather with a lizard emboss, held by polished rose gold-tone keepers. A strap this thin has almost no padding, so it sits close against the skin and adjusts in fine increments. Pale leather picks up marks along the edges over time and will grey slowly; a barely damp cloth and a proper dry keeps it looking respectable for longer. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone with a slim wrist who wants a watch that reads as jewellery, or a second watch to wear when a full-size one would be too much. It is not the watch to reach for when you need to time something precisely. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Keep it dry; no water rating is printed on the dial and the leather will not survive repeated soaking. Set stones should be cleaned with a dry cloth only. Because the case is small, the crystal is small too, and it sits close to the bezel edge where knocks land, so treat the front of the watch carefully. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s smallest women’s watches lean hard on finish and proportion, since there is no room for anything else.
