Cheap Excellanc white ladies' watch metal bracelet 39 mm

At 39 mm across and 11 mm deep, this Excellanc is a watch with real presence on the wrist, yet its round case stays slim enough to slip under a cuff. It sits as a confident statement rather than a delicate whisper, which is exactly how many women like to wear their watches now.

The dial is white, soft and very easy to read. There are no numerals at all, just fine black indexes marking the hours, and they stand out cleanly against the pale background. The effect is quiet and uncluttered, the kind of face that suits a crisp shirt as readily as a chunky knit. A mineral glass protects it.

The case and the link bracelet are both metal, which gives the whole piece a coherent, polished look. The bracelet is 20 mm wide and the watch measures 23 cm from end to end. To adjust the fit, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how to work out what suits your wrist. A deployant clasp keeps it secure when you fasten and unfasten it, so it is far less likely to slip off while you put it on.

Inside, a quartz movement (PC21) keeps the time reliably with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and nothing to fuss over. It is an inexpensive watch, but it wears with the calm assurance of something more considered.

Easy to pair with almost anything in your wardrobe, it works from morning meetings to weekend outings without asking for attention. If you enjoy the look of a link bracelet, you will find more women's watches in the same spirit elsewhere in the shop, and a little care will keep this one looking its best for a long time.
