Cheap Adrina red watch for women 34 mm faux leather strap

Red is the colour that does the talking on this Adrina, so the rest of your outfit can stay quiet. It sits well against navy knitwear, a grey wool coat, a crisp white shirt or plain black tailoring, adding one warm note without tipping into loud. The dial is red and white, with clearly drawn Arabic numerals that make the time easy to read at a glance.

The case is round, 34 mm across and 9.5 mm thick, a classic size for a women's watch that sits neatly on the wrist rather than perching on top of it. Its silver-tone metal finish gives a cool frame to the red dial, and if you like that look, you will find similar pieces among our silver-tone watches for women.

The strap is red faux leather, soft against the skin and simple to look after. It is 14 mm wide, and the whole watch measures 22 cm end to end. A traditional pin buckle lets you set the length hole by hole until it feels right, and at just 24 g the watch is easy to forget you are wearing.

Inside is a quartz movement, the SL68, which keeps the time accurately without any winding or fuss. The glass is mineral, and the display is analogue, in keeping with the understated character of the whole piece. It moves easily from a Monday morning at the office to a Saturday evening out.

It is also an inexpensive watch, which makes it a thoughtful gift that looks far more considered than its price suggests. Whether it is for you or for someone you like to surprise, it is a small, polished way to add a little colour to the everyday.
