Cheap Excellanc white ladies' watch 39 mm silver-tone metal

Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without being fussy? A watch is a lovely thing to give, and this Excellanc women's watch is the kind that suits almost anyone on your list, whether it is a sister, a friend or a mum who always seems to be glancing at her wrist. It is also inexpensive, so you can choose it with a clear conscience and still end up with something that looks properly put together.

The first thing you notice is the white dial. It is clean and bright, and the Arabic numerals make the time easy to read at a glance, which is exactly what you want from a watch you check a dozen times a day. The round case measures 39 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it sits on the wrist with a little presence rather than disappearing. The case is metal in a silver-tone finish, and it goes with just about everything, from a favourite pair of jeans to a little black dress.

The metal bracelet is made of links and closes with a simple clip clasp, a quick press and it is done. It is 14 mm wide, and the total length, watch included, is 19.5 cm. Inside, a PC21 quartz movement keeps accurate time without any fuss, and the dial is protected by mineral glass. It is easy to wear with a shirt in the morning and a soft jumper at the weekend.
