Cheap Adrina watch for women gold-tone faux leather strap

Most small gold-tone watches stick to a white or black dial and leave it there. The Adrina goes for a red dial with Roman numerals, which gives a plain round watch a retro edge without making it fussy.

The gold-tone metal case measures 32 mm across and 9 mm thick, a balanced size that sits neatly on a slim wrist. The gold-tone markers stand out clearly against the red background, so the time is easy to read at a glance.

The red faux leather strap is soft and simple to look after. It is 16 mm wide and tapers slightly towards the clasp, which keeps the whole watch looking light. It closes with a pin buckle and the watch measures 23 cm end to end. At 27 g, you will barely notice it on your wrist.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss, and the dial is protected by mineral glass. It is an inexpensive watch, but nothing about the design looks stripped back.

Red works as a colour accent with a white shirt, a grey jumper or an evening outfit, so it moves easily from the office to the weekend. If you like the warm finish, have a look at our women's gold-tone watches to compare other dial colours and strap styles.
