Excellanc purple watch for women metal bracelet

Cool to the touch and quietly weighty on the wrist, the metal bracelet is what you notice first about this Excellanc watch. Its silver-tone links catch the light as you move, and the case matches the bracelet, so the whole thing reads as one polished piece. Against that gleaming metal, the purple dial is the surprise: a confident, slightly playful colour that works as an accent with neutrals, denim or black.

The dial is analogue with Arabic numerals, so glancing at the time takes no effort. The case is just 9 mm thick, slim enough to slide under a cuff without catching. The bracelet is 14 mm wide and measures 22 cm in total, and a clip clasp closes it in one quick movement. It is a women's watch made to be worn from Monday morning through to Saturday night, with nothing fussy about it. If you like the metallic look, you can browse more silver-tone watches for women and see how they sit alongside this purple one.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps things simple and dependable. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The mineral glass is more scratch-resistant than plastic, which helps the dial stay clear through everyday knocks. It also makes an easy gift for someone who likes a little colour on her wrist.
