Excellanc women's watch 38 mm silver-tone 9 mm case metal

You check the time on the platform in the morning, again at lunch with a sandwich in one hand, and once more as the meeting overruns. This Excellanc women's watch is built for glances like these. The dial is silver-tone with Arabic numerals and baton markers, so the hour reads quickly without any squinting. The finish is plain and tidy rather than showy, which suits an office as easily as a weekend.

The round case is 38 mm across and 9 mm thick, a size that sits clearly on the wrist without looking oversized. Case and bracelet are both metal in the same silver-tone, so everything matches from the dial to the clasp. It goes with denim, a black dress or a work blazer without needing any thought. If you like to keep your accessories in one colour family, you will find more options in our silver-tone watches for women.

The bracelet is made of links and is 18 mm wide, and the whole watch measures 22 cm end to end. It closes with a deployment clasp, which keeps it secure when you put it on or take it off. The movement is quartz, accurate and simple, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks.

It is an inexpensive watch, but it does not look like a compromise: a clean silver-tone design that works with most outfits and is easy to live with day after day.
