Most small metal watches settle for a plain dial and a shiny case. This Excellanc is a little more thoughtful than that: the rose gold-tone finish is soft rather than showy, and the dial drops numerals altogether in favour of slim baton markers. The result is a quieter, cleaner face that reads at a glance and never feels busy.
The colour carries through the whole watch. Case and bracelet share the same rose gold-tone metal, so nothing jars on the wrist, and the warm shade is kind to most skin tones. It is a round women's watch with an analogue display, understated enough for every day yet polished enough to be noticed.
At 35 mm across and 12 mm thick, the case sits comfortably on most wrists without looking oversized. The metal bracelet is made of links, is 16 mm wide and measures 21 cm in total. A clasp closes it in one simple movement, so putting the watch on and taking it off never becomes a fuss.
Styling it is easy. It works as well with a crisp shirt as with a chunky knit, and the rose gold-tone finish sits beautifully against nude, powder and pastel shades. Worn with an all-black outfit, it adds just enough warmth to lift the whole look. If you enjoy this shade, you will find similar pieces among our rose gold-tone watches for women.
Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, accurate and free of any special upkeep. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. The dial is protected by a mineral glass. It is an inexpensive watch, yet nothing about its look suggests compromise, which is exactly the idea behind our affordable women's watches.
