Cheap women's watch silver-tone Excellanc metal 32 mm

Cool to the touch and smooth against the wrist, the metal bracelet on this Excellanc watch has that slightly weighty feel you expect from a proper link bracelet, finished in a silver-tone shade. The round case is metal too, in the same tone, so case and bracelet look like one piece rather than two parts that happen to match.

At 32 mm across and 9 mm thick, the case sits neatly on the wrist without swallowing it. The analogue dial mixes Arabic numerals with baton markers, so you can read the time in a glance, whether you are on the bus or halfway through a meeting. Silver-tone is about as easy as colours get: it works with denim and a white tee on a Saturday, and it holds its own with a little black dress in the evening.

Inside is a quartz movement, which means accurate timekeeping with no winding and no fuss. The mineral glass is more scratch-resistant than plastic glass, handy for a watch you will actually wear every day. At this price it is an inexpensive way to add a polished finishing touch to your outfits.

The bracelet is 14 mm wide and the whole watch measures 17.5 cm end to end. If it feels a little loose, you can take out some links to shorten it, and our watch size guide explains how to work out the right fit. A clip clasp closes the bracelet in one quick movement, so putting it on in the morning takes a couple of seconds.
