Cheap Excellanc ladies' watch, grey dial, silver-tone metal

Cool, smooth metal is the first thing you notice here. The case and the bracelet are both silver-tone, and the links sit snugly against the wrist, so the watch feels like a proper piece of jewellery rather than an afterthought. Against that bright finish, the grey dial looks soft and calm.

The dial is easy to read at a glance, with Arabic numerals and slim baton markers. At 38 mm across and 9 mm thick, the round case is noticeable without taking over, which suits a women's watch meant to be worn every day. The bracelet is 18 mm wide, and the full length including the case is 22 cm.

Silver-tone and grey go with almost anything, from office knitwear to an evening dress. If you like the look, you can browse more silver-tone watches for women in the same spirit.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, a simple and dependable setup where only the battery needs replacing from time to time. The mineral glass protects the dial, and a deployant clasp closes the bracelet with a single click. This Excellanc is also an inexpensive watch, which makes it an easy one to add to your collection.
