Cheap Excellanc women's watch, brown dial, chain bracelet

The first thing you notice is the brown dial. It is a soft, warm shade against the metal, and it reads clearly at a glance. Around it sits a round case measuring 38 mm in diameter, a size that is visible without taking over the wrist.

The second thing is that it hardly looks like a conventional watch. The chain bracelet makes it behave more like a piece of jewellery that happens to tell the time, and it sits easily beside the bracelets and rings you already wear. If you like that look, our women's jewellery watches follow the same idea.

The bracelet is made of metal and fastens with a clip clasp, which closes with a simple press. The bracelet is 24 mm wide, and the total length including the watch is 20 cm. Check that against your wrist before ordering, since a chain bracelet is meant to sit close rather than hang loose.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and the time stays reliable. The mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of everyday life.

As for styling, the brown dial works with neutral and earthy colours, but it is not fussy, so it also suits denim, black and white. It is a watch you can wear from a Monday morning at work through to a Saturday evening out.

This is an Excellanc women's watch, and it is inexpensive for what it offers: a dial you can read easily, a bracelet that doubles as jewellery, and a size that suits most wrists.
