Excellanc gold-tone women's watch green dial bangle

Run your thumb along a gold-tone metal bangle and you get that cool, smooth weight that makes jewellery feel like jewellery rather than an accessory. This Excellanc women's watch is built on exactly that idea. The bangle is rigid, so it sits on the wrist like a bracelet you chose on purpose, and the round gold-tone case blends into it instead of interrupting it.

Then there is the dial, a fresh green that catches the light and stands out against all that warm metal. Roman numerals keep things classic, and the display is analogue, so reading the time takes half a glance. At 33 mm across and 8 mm thick, the case is neat and well balanced: noticeable, but never bulky on a slim wrist.

Style it however suits your week. It looks right on its own with a shirt on a Monday morning, and it layers happily with other bangles when you want a stacked, jewellery-box look on Saturday night. The green dial gives a plain outfit a small point of colour, while the gold-tone finish works with most of the jewellery you already own.

On the practical side, the watch runs on a PC21 quartz movement, which keeps good time without any winding or fuss. The dial is protected by mineral glass. The bangle is 14 mm wide and about 15 cm long including the case, so it is worth checking that against your wrist before you choose.
