Raptor watch for women multicoloured expanding bracelet

The first thing you notice about this Raptor watch is the colour. The multicoloured dial and matching bracelet bring a splash of brightness to even the simplest outfit, so think plain white tees, denim, a neutral knit or a little black dress that could use some personality. The case is silver-tone, which keeps the whole thing balanced and makes it easy to pair with whatever else you are wearing.

It belongs to Raptor's Colorful Edition series, and the dial stays clean despite all that colour thanks to slim baton hour markers. A mineral glass covers it. At 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round metal case sits comfortably on the wrist without looking oversized, which suits a slim wrist as much as a bolder, statement look.

The stainless steel bracelet is expanding, so there is no clasp to fiddle with. You simply slide it on and off, which is a small thing until you realise how often you will reach for it on busy mornings. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and the watch measures 18.5 cm in total. If you enjoy the cool tone of the case, you might like to browse our silver-tone watches for women for other ways to wear it.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display, an accurate and low-maintenance choice for daily wear. The water resistance is limited to splashes, so rain and handwashing are fine, but keep it out of the shower and out of the water altogether. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a thoughtful gift for someone who loves colour, or a treat for yourself.
