Cheap grey Excellanc women's watch black dial metal bracelet

Some watches ask a little of you every morning. This one doesn't. It is a grey metal watch with a black dial, a quartz movement and a bracelet that closes with a single click of the folding clasp, so you can put it on while you are still looking for your keys. It is also an inexpensive way to have a dependable watch within easy reach, and that is much of its charm.

Once it is on your wrist, the black dial does most of the talking. Against the grey case it looks crisp and slightly graphic, and the Arabic numerals are neatly drawn, so you can read the time at a glance without squinting. It is the kind of watch you check without really thinking about it, between meetings, on a bus or in the queue for a coffee.

At 38 mm across, the round case has a presence without taking over your wrist, and at 14 mm thick it sits comfortably under most cuffs. Grey metal works with nearly everything, jeans and a jumper as easily as a smarter dress, which makes it a good everyday companion and a thoughtful gift for someone who likes things simple. The mineral glass over the dial helps guard it against the small knocks of daily life.

The bracelet is made of links, and it is 20 mm wide. Total length with the case is 23.8 cm. If it feels loose, you can remove one or more links to get a snug fit, and our watch size guide walks you through it step by step.

A quartz movement keeps the time steady, and the display is analogue, with hands rather than a screen. It is an Excellanc women's watch with no fuss, designed to look good and to be worn often.
