The red strap is the first thing you notice and the reason to buy this watch. It is a deep, slightly brick red rather than a bright one, embossed with a fine lizard grain, and it runs into a small octagonal rose gold-tone case set with crystals along every edge. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 24mm across, which puts this firmly in jewellery-watch territory. It is narrow, light, and sits high enough on the wrist to be visible without ever getting in the way of a sleeve. The octagon has flat cut corners, so the outline is angular where most small dress watches are round; against a coloured strap that gives it more structure than it would otherwise have. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl, pale and iridescent, with a couple of small crystals doing the work of markers. Two thin rose gold-tone hands. There is nothing else on the dial except the brand name and the eagle. In good light the pearl surface shows faint bands of colour; in low light it just reads as pale. Time is read by hand angle rather than by numerals. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz movement, hours and minutes only. That is the whole specification and it is the right one for a watch this size, since there is no room on a 24mm dial for a date window that anyone could actually read. Battery replacement every two years or so is the only routine service it needs. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Narrow red leather with a lizard emboss and rose gold-tone hardware. A strap this thin has very little padding, so it sits close and adjusts in fine steps. Coloured leather fades faster than black or brown, particularly in strong sun, so if the red matters to you, keep the watch out of a car windscreen and off the patio table. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Somebody who already owns a neutral everyday watch and wants a second one that adds colour. It works with black, navy and cream and fights with almost nothing. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n Leather and water do not mix; take the watch off before washing hands. No water rating is shown on the dial, so the case should be kept dry as well. Clean the crystals with a dry cloth and check them occasionally by running a fingernail lightly over the bezel; a stone that has shifted will catch. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s smaller women’s watches trade on outline and finish, and this octagonal case appears across the line in several strap colours.
