Excellanc gold-tone women's watch chain bracelet 38 mm cheap

The first thing you notice is the metal. The chain bracelet is gold-tone, made of linked metal sections that move with your wrist and settle against the skin like a piece of jewellery rather than a stiff band. It has a bit of weight to it, enough to feel like something you chose.

The case is round and measures 38 mm across, which gives the watch a confident presence without tipping into oversized. The gold-tone finish on the case matches the bracelet, so the whole piece reads as one continuous colour.

Against that warm metal sits a black dial. It is a simple, analogue face that goes with almost anything in your wardrobe, from a plain white shirt to an evening dress. A mineral glass covers the dial to protect it from everyday knocks.

The bracelet is 24 mm wide and 20 cm long in total, closed with a clip clasp that fastens in one move. No fiddling when you are getting ready in a hurry.

Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and low-maintenance. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. It is also an inexpensive way to get a proper gold-tone look on your wrist.

For a fuller, more dressed-up wrist, try it stacked with a few slim bangles. If you like the chain-bracelet look, there are more to browse in our women's jewellery watches.
