Most small, simple watches rely on a single colour and hope for the best. This Excellanc has a bit more going on: a silver-tone dial set against a rose gold-tone metal bracelet, two finishes that sit comfortably together and soften the look of the whole piece. It is a quiet way to add warmth to your wrist without trying too hard.
The round case measures 33 mm across and is only 7 mm thick, so it stays slim and discreet. It suits most wrists nicely, including smaller ones, and slides easily under a cuff or a knitted sleeve. The case is made of metal, like the bracelet, which gives the watch a coherent, polished feel.
Your eye goes first to the dial. It has no numerals at all, just fine hour markers, and that restraint is what makes it so easy on the eye. The silver-tone surface is soft and clear, so reading the time takes a glance and nothing more. Analogue display, the way many of us still prefer it.
The bracelet is 12 mm wide and the watch measures 20 cm in total. A clip clasp fastens it in a single movement, which is handy on busy mornings when you are dressing in a hurry. The metal links drape neatly around the wrist.
Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and uncomplicated. The only upkeep you will ever need is a new battery now and then. It is also, let's be honest, an inexpensive watch, which makes it easy to choose for yourself or to wrap up for a birthday or a small thank you.
It goes with an office outfit, a relaxed weekend and an evening out equally well. If the warm tone appeals to you, have a look at our other rose gold-tone watches for women and see which one feels most like you.
