Crassula ovata
Jade plants hold water in thick leaves and stems. They want a good soak followed by a real dry-down, and they sulk in winter if watered as often as in summer.
Your answer
Water when the soil reaches this point
How it shifts through the year
Wrinkled, slightly soft leaves and dry soil are good signs. Plump firm leaves with damp soil mean it can wait.
Dropping leaves can come from overwatering, underwatering or sudden changes in light. Check the soil and the stem base to tell which.

Estimates use rules of thumb. Always confirm with your finger: push it about an inch into the soil before you water.
