Everything on this one is scaled down twice. It is a wristwatch reduced to ring size, and then the dial is reduced again inside that, which leaves a pearl-white face barely wider than a grain of rice.

The band is a woven link rather than a solid one, so it has the flex and texture of a real bracelet strap. It comes in silver or golden, both stainless steel, and the two read quite differently. Silver goes almost technical. Golden goes softer and sits closer to the rest of a jewellery box.

Like the larger watch ring in the range, the dial is decorative. The hands do not move. Saying so up front saves a disappointed unboxing, and anyone buying a ring this small is buying the look of a watch rather than the use of one.

Stainless steel is the quiet advantage. No plating to thin out, and no green marks after a wet day. That is rarer than it should be at this price.

Golden if it is joining a stack. Silver if it is doing its own thing.
