Raptor watch for women 36 mm round metal and steel

Stainless steel has a cool, smooth weight against the wrist, and this Raptor bracelet gives you exactly that. The metal links sit flat and feel solid without being heavy, which is what you want from a watch you put on every morning and forget about until someone compliments it.

The round case is 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, also in metal. It is visible without taking over your wrist. The dial is analogue and kept clean, with simple hour markers and no numerals. The series carries the name Frida Kahlo Edition, a nod to bold, expressive style worn in a quiet way.

The bracelet is the expanding type, so there is no clasp to fiddle with. You slip it on and off, and it adjusts as you do. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and 18.5 cm long in total. If you like the idea of a metal strap that stays easy to live with, our women's metal bracelet watches are worth a look too.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, accurate and low-maintenance. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic does.

Water resistance is limited to splashes. A shower of rain or washing your hands is fine, but keep it out of the shower and away from swimming. It pairs easily with whatever you wear from Monday to Saturday, and it makes a thoughtful gift for yourself or someone else.
