Raptor women's watch steel bracelet 39 mm blue

At 39 mm across, this Raptor sits a touch larger than a classic dainty watch, which is exactly the point. The round case has presence on the wrist without feeling bulky, and at 8 mm thick it slips under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without a fuss. If you like a watch you can actually notice, this is a friendly place to start.

The dial is blue, a colour that goes with more of your wardrobe than you might expect. It works with denim and a plain white tee just as easily as with a little black dress. Around it, the case and the stainless steel bracelet are silver-tone, so the whole watch has a cool, clean look that keeps things simple. It is called Sina, and it suits everyday outfits rather than only dressed-up ones.

The bracelet is made of links, 16 mm wide, and closes with a folding clasp that fastens in one click. To get the fit right, you remove a link or two, and our watch size guide walks you through how to do it. Total length is 22 cm, case included.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display, reliable and undemanding. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The mineral glass helps protect the dial from the small knocks of daily life. Water resistance is 3 ATM, so splashes are fine, but keep it away from the shower and the swimming pool.
