Excellanc gold-tone women's watch Arabic numerals bangle

The first thing you notice is the metal: a smooth, warm gold-tone finish that runs from the case to the rigid bangle, with a dial in the same shade. It feels more like a piece of jewellery than a conventional watch, the sort of bracelet you enjoy glancing down at. Arabic numerals keep the dial clear and easy to read, so the time is there when you need it without any fuss.

At 32 mm across and 8 mm thick, the round case sits neatly on most wrists and slips easily under a cuff. The bangle strap is 11 mm wide and the whole watch measures 16 cm in length. Wear it on its own for a quiet touch of gold, or stack it with a few slim bangles for a more layered look. It pairs naturally with other gold-tone jewellery, and if this style appeals to you, you will find more like it among our women's jewellery watches.

On the practical side, this Excellanc women's watch has an analogue display and a quartz PC21 movement, which keeps things accurate and simple: all it needs is a new battery from time to time. A mineral glass protects the dial. Its metal case and bangle are easy to look after with a gentle wipe, so it keeps its glow for everyday wear.
