Cheap Raptor green women's watch leather strap

The strap is black leather, and it has the soft, slightly supple feel you expect from the real thing rather than a stiff, plasticky band. Against the wrist it sits comfortably from the first wear, and it fastens with a classic pin buckle that needs no explanation.

The star of this Raptor watch is the green dial. It is a calm, deep colour that stands out from the usual black, white and pastel faces. There are no numerals, only fine hour markers, so the whole dial looks clean and uncluttered.

The case is square, which makes a pleasant change from the endless round watches. It is metal in a silver-tone finish, and it is just 8 mm thick, so it slips easily under a cuff or a jumper sleeve. The silver-tone case pairs well with the black strap and the green dial without any of the three competing.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It keeps accurate time and asks nothing of you, which is exactly what you want from a watch you wear every day. It is a women's watch through and through, and it is an inexpensive way to add a little colour to your wrist.

On the practical side, the watch is splash resistant. Handwashing or a sudden shower is fine, but take it off before you bathe, swim or stand under the shower.

The black leather strap takes it from jeans and a T-shirt to a work outfit without any fuss. If you like the silver-tone case and want to see other options, have a look at our silver-tone watches for women to compare styles.
