At 34 mm across, this Excellanc watch sits right in that comfortable middle ground for a woman's wrist: big enough to read at a glance, small enough that it never feels like it is wearing you. The case is only 10 mm thick, so it slips under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without any fuss.
The colour does the talking here. A bright yellow metal case and a matching yellow stainless steel bracelet give it a sunny, playful look, while the white dial keeps things clean underneath. Neat Arabic numerals are drawn clearly on that white background, so checking the time takes a second. It is the sort of watch that lifts a plain navy, grey or denim outfit without you having to think much about it.
There is no clasp to fiddle with. The bracelet is stretchy, so you simply slide it over your hand and it settles on your wrist. That makes it easy for everyday wear, whether you are rushing out in the morning or dressing up a casual weekend. The bracelet is 18 mm wide and the total length, watch included, is 19 cm.
Inside is an analogue quartz movement, which keeps time accurately and asks nothing of you, and the glass is mineral. It is a genuinely inexpensive way to add a splash of colour to your wrist.
