Cheap Adrina women's watch black faux leather strap

The strap is where this watch begins. It is made of black faux leather, soft against the wrist and with the quiet matte look of a classic leather strap. Nothing about it tries to draw attention, which is exactly why it works so well with everything else you wear.

Against that dark strap, the silver-tone metal case stands out gently. It is round and measures 34 mm across, a proportion that sits neatly on a smaller wrist without looking lost. At 9.5 mm thick, it slips easily under a cuff or a knitted sleeve.

The dial is black, framed by the lighter tone of the case, with Arabic numerals that make the time easy to read at a glance. It is a calm, uncluttered face, the kind that looks as right at a desk as it does at dinner.

Inside, the Adrina runs on a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to think about. A mineral glass protects the dial. If you like the contrast of cool metal and dark strap, you will find more of the same family in our women's silver-tone watches.

The strap is 14 mm wide and closes with a traditional pin buckle, which lets you settle on the fit that feels most comfortable. End to end, the watch measures 22 cm.

It is an inexpensive watch, but it does not look like one. Understated enough for every day, refined enough for an evening out, it also makes an easy gift for someone who prefers her accessories simple and well judged.
