Watch for women Excellanc green mesh strap cheap

Most watches at this price follow the same formula: a plain dial, a stiff strap and not much character. This Excellanc is a little different, because its green dial and fine mesh strap give it a quiet personality you notice the moment it sits on your wrist.

The dial is the first thing people see. It is a soft, easy-to-read green, and the Roman numerals add a gentle retro touch without making the watch feel fussy. Green can be tricky to wear, but this shade is calm enough to go with neutrals, denim, knitwear or a smarter outfit for the evening.

The strap is where the watch really earns its keep. It is a mesh strap in stainless steel, silver-tone and finely woven, so it moves with your wrist instead of sitting stiffly on top of it. The metal case is silver-tone too, which keeps the whole watch looking neat and matching. It fastens with a hook clasp, and the strap is 12 mm wide. Total length, watch included, is 21.5 cm.

At 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case suits most wrists and slips easily under a cuff. It is the kind of size that looks deliberate rather than oversized, which is just what many women want from an everyday watch.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with analogue display, simple and dependable. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks.

It is also an inexpensive watch that does not look like one, which makes it a lovely present, whether for someone else or for yourself.
