Excellanc ladies' watch gold-tone 40 mm stretch cheap

Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without being fussy? This Excellanc women's watch is an easy one to wrap up. It comes in a warm gold-tone with a silver-tone dial, and it suits almost anyone who likes a little shine on the wrist. It is also genuinely inexpensive, so you can choose it for a birthday, a thank-you or a treat for yourself without a second thought.

The first thing you notice is the dial. It is silver-tone, clean and easy to read, with small dots marking the hours rather than heavy numerals. Around it sits a round metal case measuring 40 mm across and 10 mm thick, a confident size that gives the watch real presence on the wrist while staying slim enough to slip under a cuff.

The bracelet is stainless steel in a yellow gold-tone, and it stretches, so there is no clasp to fiddle with. You simply slide it over your hand and it sits comfortably in place. It is 20 mm wide and measures 19 cm from end to end, which is worth checking against your wrist if you are buying for someone else.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. Quartz keeps good time without any winding or fuss, and when the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The mineral glass over the dial helps keep it protected day to day.

Because the colours are so warm, it pairs beautifully with gold-tone jewellery, whether that is a fine chain, a pair of hoops or a favourite ring. It works just as well at the office as it does at the weekend or on an evening out. If you would like to compare it with similar styles, have a look at our gold-tone watches for women.
