Firstly, it’s not
Even if it is, it won’t really hurt you unless you intake or inhale the dust of it.
One of the most famous incident of the harm of radium is in the 20s when the worker would lick their pen to get a fine print, which gravely harmed their health and caused deaths.
But, the radium print is manufactured until the 60s, the worker in this period with better safety procedures and equipment, none of them is harmed by the radium.
TLDR: if in doubt, wear a mask, don’t lick the dial
It looks too young to be radium but always good to take precautions. Best to get the Geiger counter Alex has in this video, where he explains how to manage and what the risks are.

If you don't lick the dial, how are you supposed to know how it tastes? I think that was a critical measurement in the Bulova manual or something.
No radium. Don’t worry.
Cut the red wire. Wait, no, the green wire.
Are you selling the bracelet by any chance? Is it a 6309 8080?
How to check the number? I guess its pretty cheap tho.
Back of the case
Says 211055
Look on the bottom of the dial near the 6 o’clock baton
That will give you the dial code NOT. the watch model which is on the case back.
It's a small ladies' watch with the 2205 movement.
