Excellanc ladies' watch red silver-tone metal bracelet cheap

Metal has a certain feel on the wrist: cool for a second, then warm as it settles against your skin. The silver-tone bracelet on this Excellanc women's watch is made of linked metal, and the links give it a smooth, flexible drape rather than a stiff band. The case is metal too, in the same silver tone, so the whole watch looks like one considered piece.

Then there is the colour. The red dial sits under mineral glass and brings a small, confident splash to an otherwise understated outfit. Arabic numerals and baton markers share the dial, which makes the time easy to read at a glance, even when you are rushing out of the door. It works beside a crisp white shirt, a grey knit or a simple black dress, and it is lovely against denim.

The bracelet is 18 mm wide and the whole watch measures 23.5 cm from end to end. The case is a slim 9 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff without any fuss. A clip clasp closes it in one easy movement, which is handy when you are fastening it with one hand. Inside, a quartz movement keeps the analogue display accurate without asking anything of you.

It is inexpensive, yet it looks thoughtful enough to give as a present or to treat yourself with. If you enjoy the shiny metal look, you can browse more silver-tone watches for women and see how they compare.
