Cheap women's silver-tone watch, baton markers, 32 mm metal

Plenty of small silver-tone watches look alike from a distance, but this Excellanc has a few details that make it feel more considered. The dial is silver-tone and carries baton markers together with Arabic numerals, so you get a tidy, slightly more detailed face than the bare dial you find on a basic model. It reads quickly and still looks pretty.

The round case is metal and measures 32 mm across, with a thickness of 9 mm. That is a balanced size, neither dainty to the point of vanishing nor bulky on the wrist, and the mineral glass over the dial keeps the whole look clean and bright.

The metal bracelet is silver-tone as well, made of links, and it is 14 mm wide. End to end the watch measures 17.5 cm. If it sits a little loose, you can take out links to shorten it, and our watch size guide explains how to find the right fit for your wrist.

Putting it on is simple, because the clasp is a clip that closes in one movement. Inside there is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which gives you steady, reliable time without any fuss or winding.

It is an easy watch to wear from Monday morning to Saturday night, since the silver-tone finish goes with almost anything, from office outfits to dinner with friends. And at this price it is genuinely inexpensive, so it is a lovely little treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone who likes a touch of shine.
