Raptor women's quartz watch stainless steel 36 mm

The first thing you notice is the bracelet: stainless steel that stretches, so there is no clasp to fiddle with and nothing to line up. You simply slide this Raptor onto your wrist and it settles there. It is 18 mm wide and measures 18.5 cm from end to end, which is worth a quick check against your own wrist before you decide.

The round metal case is 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that shows up nicely on the wrist without taking it over. The dial keeps things clean, with no numerals at all, just fine hour markers and analogue hands. It belongs to the Frida Kahlo Edition series, and it adds a fashionable touch to whatever you pair it with, from Monday office days to Saturday evenings out.

Inside is a Miyota 2035 quartz movement, so the time stays accurate without you having to think about it, and the glass is mineral. If you like the look of a metal strap, our women's metal bracelet watches are worth a browse for other ways to wear it.

On the practical side, the water resistance is splash-proof only. Rain and handwashing are fine, but keep it away from the shower and don't swim in it. It also makes an easy gift for a woman who likes a watch that is simple to put on and pleasant to wear every day.
