Excellanc white ladies' watch 32 mm silver-tone bangle

This watch suits someone who wants a timepiece that reads as a bracelet first. If you tend to wear a single piece on the wrist and prefer it uncluttered, the Excellanc bangle design does that job without fuss.

The dial is white, with clearly drawn Arabic numerals, so the time is easy to read at a glance. The case is round, in silver-tone metal, and measures 32 mm across with a thickness of 8 mm. That is a size which sits comfortably on most wrists without looking oversized or dainty.

The bracelet is a rigid bangle in silver-tone metal, 10 mm wide. Total length, watch included, is 15 cm. Because it is rigid, it is worn like a bangle rather than adjusted with links or a clasp, so it is worth checking that this length suits your wrist before you choose it. The plain white and silver-tone palette goes with most outfits, from workwear to evenings out.

Inside is a quartz movement, type PC21, with analogue display. It needs no special upkeep. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches.

If you like the idea of a watch that doubles as a piece of jewellery, you can compare it with the other designs in our women's jewellery watches and see which style fits you best.
