Cheap Excellanc 35 mm round watch for women deployant buckle

Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without making a dent in the budget? This Excellanc women's watch is an easy one to wrap up. It is bright, it goes with nearly everything, and it is inexpensive enough that you can add it to a birthday card without a second thought.

The first thing you notice is the silver-tone dial, light and clean, with Arabic numerals and baton markers sharing the space. Nothing fussy, so the time reads at a glance, whether you are checking it on the train or across a meeting table.

The round case is 35 mm across and 8 mm thick, a classic size for a women's watch that sits neatly on the wrist without looking oversized. Case, dial and bracelet all share the same silver-tone finish, which gives the whole watch a tidy, matching look.

That colour is the clever part. Silver-tone works with a crisp shirt for the office, a chunky knit at the weekend and a little black dress for dinner. If the person you are buying for already wears other silver-tone jewellery, this will sit happily alongside it.

The metal bracelet is made of links and is 16 mm wide, with a total length of 21 cm. If it needs to be a bit snugger, you can remove links to shorten it, and our watch size guide shows how to go about it. The deployant clasp keeps the watch secure when you open it, so it will not slip off the wrist or onto the floor.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement, accurate and quietly dependable, with an analogue display and a mineral glass cover. It is a simple, pretty watch for anyone who likes a little shine on the wrist, and it belongs with the other watches in our silver-tone collection for women.
