Cheap Excellanc women's watch 38 mm metal bracelet

Most small-budget watches settle for a thin strap and a plain face. This Excellanc women's watch goes a step further with a metal bracelet made of links, which gives it a more finished, grown-up look on the wrist.

The dial is round and uncluttered. Baton hour markers keep the reading clear without crowding the face, and the analogue display does the rest. It is a simple design, and that is exactly why it works with so many outfits.

The case measures 38 mm across, big enough to be noticed and not so big that it dominates. It suits the office, a weekend out or an evening, and it is inexpensive enough to be an easy addition to a collection rather than a big decision.

The bracelet is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 19 cm from end to end. You adjust the fit by removing one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how to work out what suits your wrist. A clasp closes the bracelet in a single movement.

Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and low-maintenance. The mineral glass over the dial helps protect it from the knocks of everyday wear.
