Raptor yellow women's watch silicone strap

Silicone has a particular softness against the wrist: smooth, light and slightly cool at first touch, then barely noticeable once it settles. On this Raptor watch the strap comes in a clear, sunny yellow, and it stays comfortable even when the weather turns warm.

The yellow carries through to the metal case, which keeps the whole watch in one colour. Against it, the silver-toned dial looks calm and clean. Arabic numerals mark the hours, so reading the time takes no effort at all. This is the model known as Flavia, a quiet piece with a bright accent rather than a loud one.

At 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case sits neatly on a slim wrist. It is present without being showy, and it slips easily under a cuff or alongside a bracelet if you like to layer. The strap is 16 mm wide and the watch measures 23.5 cm in total.

The pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole, so the fit is exactly as snug or as relaxed as you prefer. It is a simple, reassuring mechanism that holds well during a walk, a workout or a long day.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement with an analogue display. It needs no special care beyond a battery change every so often. A mineral glass protects the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough for splashes and the odd shower of rain, but the watch should stay off for swimming and showering.

Easy to pair with everyday outfits, it suits the gym and weekend outings as well as a relaxed look in town. If this style appeals, you will find more like it among our women's sports watches. It arrives in a presentation box, which makes it a thoughtful gift too.
