Cheap Excellanc women's watch rose gold-tone stretch

The first thing you notice is the glow of the case, a soft rose gold-tone that catches the light without shouting about it. Against it, the silver-tone dial feels calm and clean, with small round hour markers that keep the face uncluttered. This is the Excellanc "Sira", a women's watch that looks composed rather than showy, and that is exactly its charm.

The round metal case measures 40 mm across and 10 mm thick, a presence on the wrist that is confident but never heavy. The stainless steel bracelet echoes the silver-tone of the dial, so the whole watch reads as one quiet pairing of rose gold-tone and silver-tone. If you like warm metallic shades, you will find plenty of company in our women's rose gold-tone watches.

Putting it on could hardly be easier. The bracelet is stretch, so there is no clasp to fasten: you simply slide it over your hand and it settles in place. It is 20 mm wide and 19 cm long overall. A mineral glass protects the dial, and the quartz movement keeps the time accurately with an analogue display, so there is nothing to think about from one day to the next.

Because the look is so restrained, it moves easily between a crisp shirt on a weekday, a soft jumper at the weekend and something dressier in the evening. It is also an inexpensive way to add a refined touch to your wrist, and a thoughtful idea for a birthday or a small treat for someone you like.
