Cheap Excellanc women's watch with blue dial and mesh strap

The strap on this Excellanc watch is a fine stainless steel mesh, woven so that it stays flexible and feels smooth against the wrist. It is 14 mm wide, and the whole watch measures 23.5 cm end to end, which gives you a sense of how slim the overall line is.

Both the case and the mesh strap are silver-tone, so the watch reads as one polished piece rather than a dial stuck on a band. Against that bright metal, the blue dial stands out clearly. Roman numerals mark the hours, a classic touch that keeps the look composed and a little traditional.

The case is round and measures 36 mm across and 8 mm thick. That is a moderate size for a women's watch: noticeable enough to be a proper accessory, discreet enough to sit under a shirt cuff or beside a thin bracelet.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means no winding and no fuss. The mineral glass over the dial helps protect it from the small knocks of everyday life. The strap closes with a clasp, so it is simple to put on and take off.

Day to day, this is an easy watch to pair with things you already own. The silver-tone metal and blue dial suit office outfits and weekend clothes alike, and the mesh strap sits well with both smooth and textured sleeves.

It is inexpensive, which also makes it a sensible gift idea. If you like the look of the mesh, you can compare it with other styles in our women's mesh strap watches.
