Stepping up in the same dial colour
A compact smartwatch built for a fashion audience rather than an athletic one, the Series 48 pairs a gold PVD case with a matching stainless steel bracelet in a package that reads as jewellery before it reads as technology. The T-bar lug structure is a deliberate nod to traditional watch construction — an unusual choice for a digital product — and at 35mm it sits proportionally small on the wrist, more in line with a dress watch than most smartwatches of this type. The 1.04-inch AMOLED screen handles visibility in place of any luminous material, with an always-on mode keeping the dial readable without raising the wrist. At 62 grams with bracelet, it wears lightly, and the butterfly clasp with its dual-trigger release keeps the fit secure without bulk. Link adjustment requires pin removal, so sizing is best done once and left.

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
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.
What size strap does it take?
14mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 35mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
