Stepping up in Radley's range
A 22mm square case sits close to the wrist and reads as jewellery first — that is the register Radley is working in here, and the mother-of-pearl dial and hanging dog charm confirm it. At 8mm thick with a lug-to-lug span of 23mm, it lies genuinely flat rather than perching on the wrist, which is what a case this compact needs to do to earn its place. The mesh bracelet does more work than it might appear to. The sliding foldover clasp lets the wearer dial in the fit continuously rather than jumping between fixed links, so the watch settles where it ought to on the wrist without fuss.

Learn more about Radley
Radley London was founded in 1998 as a handbag brand, and named for the founder's Scottish terrier. The dog became the logo, and remains the single most recognisable thing about the label — stamped, embossed, or hanging from a bag as a leather charm.
The watches are licensed rather than manufactured in-house, produced by a specialist watch maker under agreement and sold through the same department stores and jewellers as the bags.
They are designed as accessories to the accessories: slim cases, printed or textured dials, coloured leather straps, and the terrier appearing on the dial, the caseback or the strap keeper. Quartz movements, gift-market pricing.
Radley is a well-run British accessories brand and its watches are exactly what the label suggests they are — coordinated, characterful and inexpensive, rather than horological.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
