Cheap watch for women Excellanc silver-tone chain bracelet

Plenty of watches are happy to simply tell the time. This Excellanc women's watch has bigger ambitions: with its chain bracelet, it reads more like a piece of jewellery that happens to have a dial, and that is exactly what sets it apart from a basic strap-and-case model.

The round case measures 38 mm across, so it is easy to spot on the wrist without taking over. The dial is silver-tone, which gives the whole watch a cool, bright look that sits happily alongside the metal links of the bracelet.

That bracelet is the real star. Its chain-style links are designed to sit naturally with the rest of your jewellery, so you can wear it with a favourite necklace or stack a few slim bangles beside it for a bolder, layered look.

On the practical side, the clasp is a simple clip, so you can fasten the bracelet in one quick movement. The bracelet is 24 mm wide, and the total length is 20 cm, case included, which is worth checking against your wrist before you order.

Inside, a quartz movement does the work with a clear analogue display. It is a dependable, no-fuss mechanism, and the only upkeep you will ever need is a battery change every so often. A mineral glass covers the dial and helps it cope with the small knocks of everyday life.

It is an inexpensive way to add a little sparkle to your wrist, and if you would like to compare it with other styles, have a look at our women's jewellery watches, where you will find plenty of ideas to mix and match as you like.
