Cheap Excellanc women's watch silver-tone metal 42 mm

The metal of this Excellanc watch has the weight and slight chill on the skin that you expect from a proper bracelet rather than a fashion afterthought. The silver-tone runs through the case, the dial and the links, so the whole piece reads as one quiet, polished surface.

The round case measures 42 mm across, which makes this a watch that is meant to be seen. It sits confidently on the wrist, closer to a statement piece than a delicate one, and it suits those who like a generous dial.

On the dial, the silver-tone background is kept calm and uncluttered. Roman numerals give it a faintly vintage character without tipping into costume, and the analogue display keeps things simple and easy to read at a glance.

The metal bracelet is made of links that follow the curve of the wrist, and it closes with a clip clasp that fastens in a single movement. The strap is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 19 cm from end to end, so it is worth checking that against your wrist before you choose.

Because the finish is neutral, it works with almost anything in your wardrobe, from a plain knit and jeans to a tailored jacket. It is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy addition to a collection or a sensible everyday watch. If you like the look, you will find more in our women's silver-tone watches.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, dependable and undemanding: apart from replacing the battery now and then, it needs no particular care. The case is 11 mm thick, and a mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks.
