Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without costing a fortune? A birthday, a thank-you for a friend, a treat for yourself on a Friday afternoon: this Excellanc women's watch fits all of them, and at this price it is genuinely inexpensive, which makes it easy to say yes to.
The first thing you notice is the colour combination. The case and bracelet are rose gold-tone metal, soft and warm rather than flashy, and set against it is a blue dial that gives the whole watch a cool, fresh centre. Pink metal with blue is a pairing that looks deliberate, and it works with a white shirt, a denim jacket or a smart dress alike.
On the dial, round hour markers keep things clean and easy to read. This is an analogue watch, so no screens and no clutter, just the time shown the traditional way, the kind of face you can glance at in a second during a meeting or on the bus.
The size is a comfortable middle ground. The round case measures 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, so it sits neatly on the wrist without swallowing it, yet still has enough presence to be noticed. If you like a watch that looks like a small piece of jewellery, this proportion suits you well.
The metal bracelet is made of links and closes with a deployant clasp, which keeps it secure and makes it quick to put on and take off. Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time reliably, with no winding and nothing to think about from one day to the next.
If rose gold-tone is your thing, you will find plenty of company for this one in our rose gold-tone watches for women, whether you are choosing for yourself or building a gift for someone else.
