Psychologically, red as a colour grabs our attention as a warning or signal
Perhaps due to its use in nature, as red usually symbolises danger (e.g. blood, venomous animals, etc.). Thus it stands out as a strong accent colour, especially contrasted with a plain-coloured dial.

How is it that RED is such an attractive accent color?
After seeing xxcesar's Seiko, and TimJ's Seiko, and the Rolex of vitalsigns, I realized how frequently we see RED. I did a quick scan through my collection and came up with this assortment of watches with Red accents: How many of us have watches with red ...
I don't have that many...
Here is one which immediately comes to my mind... A bit more red... Even more red... Best, Nicolas ...
Oui! and it's independently adjustable for two separate time zones
both hours and minutes can be set without restriction, making it a rare, true 2-zone watch for those 15 or 45 minute zones! Cazalea
That's a pretty good showing considering its only 3 minutes since I posted! Thanks Nico [nt]
Of course, with too much RED it can overpower us, and become glaring on our wrist.
Don't forget the red Daytona on a white dial SS model!
Too perfect. VC's SS CdV has a small red track which looks very well done (at least in pictures, hope to see it in the real).
When you want to get attention, is there . . .
. . . any other color? No, I thought not. Same goes for watch design. ;-) ...
I think we are going to have to rename this place WATCH-CSBLEU-PRO-5960-SITE
just kidding! Cazalea
A few :)

Red it is...
In addition to my aforementioned Seiko Padi, the 3 pieces in my collection with red accents on the dials. Cheers, Tim ...
It must not be blue with a red accent...
I love the little red details of my IWC Spitfire chrono. It adds this very special touch to an already marvelous classical design. ...
Yes I seem to have a lot of red highlight examples.
Here's a few where it works well... from subtle to ... uh, less so! ...
How about this one?
Incidentally, it was my first step into this crazy hobby of ours! ...
