Excellanc silver-tone women's watch bangle

What you notice first is the dial: a silver-tone face with a soft, pearly shimmer that shifts as your wrist moves. The Arabic numerals are clearly drawn, so the time reads at a glance. The case is round and in the same silver-tone metal as the dial and the bracelet, so the whole watch has one consistent finish.

The bracelet is a rigid bangle, which means it sits on the wrist the way a piece of jewellery does rather than hanging like a typical watch strap. The case measures 34 mm across and 10 mm thick, a classic size for a women's watch. The bangle is 14 mm wide and about 18 cm long including the case. If you like wearing statement pieces on your wrist, you will find more in the same spirit among our women's jewellery watches.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so the time stays accurate with no winding or adjusting. The glass is mineral. Water resistance is limited to splashes: a shower of rain or a quick hand wash is fine, but take it off before showering or swimming. The bangle styling and silver-tone finish suit an evening out, a wedding or a dinner, and it works just as well with plain everyday outfits.
