This watch suits the woman who likes a bit of shine but wants something she can wear all day without it looking like an occasion piece. It is a small, neat round watch from Excellanc, and it works as well with a work shirt as it does with a jumper at the weekend. It is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy choice as a first metal watch or as a spare for days when you want a lighter look.
The case measures 33 mm across and 9 mm thick, with a silver-tone finish in metal. That size sits comfortably on slim and average wrists without overwhelming them. The silver-tone dial carries baton markers and Arabic numerals, so the time is easy to read at a glance, and sparkling crystal touches catch the light as your wrist moves.
The metal bracelet is made of links in the same silver-tone finish, 11 mm wide, and measures 20.5 cm in total length. It closes with a clip clasp, which you fasten in one movement. Because case, dial and bracelet share the same tone, the whole watch looks coordinated and pairs easily with other silver-tone jewellery.
Inside is a quartz movement, the PC21, with an analogue display. It is accurate and straightforward, and when the battery runs out a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial. The watch is splash resistant, so rain and hand washing are fine, but it should not be worn in the shower or in water.
