White is one of those colours that quietly works with everything, and this Excellanc watch makes the most of it. The clean white dial sits against a silver-tone case and bangle, so it looks just as good with a denim jacket and trainers as it does with a little black dress or a crisp linen shirt on a summer evening.
The bangle design is what gives it its jewellery feel. Instead of a classic strap, the metal bracelet wraps the wrist like a piece you chose to wear on purpose, and it is 15 mm wide, so it has a gentle presence without ever feeling heavy. The whole watch, bangle included, measures 15.5 cm in length and weighs just 40 g, which means you will soon forget it is there.
The round case is 33 mm across and 8 mm thick, a balanced size that suits slimmer wrists and anyone who prefers a refined look. On the dial, Arabic numerals keep the time easy to read at a glance, and the mineral glass helps guard it against the small knocks of everyday life.
Inside, a quartz movement (PC21) with an analogue display keeps the time reliably, with no fuss and nothing to wind. It is the kind of watch you put on in the morning and rarely think about again, apart from the compliments.
It would make a lovely gift for a birthday or simply for no reason at all. And if you enjoy this style, take a look at our women's jewellery watches to find other designs that sit somewhere between a timepiece and an accessory.
