A watch you wear every day has to be easy to live with, and this one is. The case is 33 mm across and 8 mm thick, so it sits under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching. The quartz movement keeps time without winding or fuss, and the analogue display with Arabic numerals means you read the hour at a glance.
The dial is silver-tone, the case is metal in the same finish, and the bracelet is stainless steel, also silver-tone. Everything matches, which keeps the look clean and uncluttered. There is no busy detailing here, just a round watch that does its job and looks tidy doing it.
The luminescent hands are a useful extra. When the light drops, in a dim restaurant or on an early commute in winter, you can still pick out the time without reaching for your phone.
The bracelet is made of steel links, which gives a neat, finished look at the wrist. It closes with a hook clasp, a simple fastening that is quick to do up with one hand. The mineral glass over the dial is a sensible choice for a watch that will knock against desks and door frames.
Because the colour is a neutral silver tone, it pairs with most outfits, from office wear to an evening out, and it sits comfortably alongside other jewellery. If you like this finish, you will find more in our silver-tone watches for women.
This is a women's watch by Excellanc, and it is inexpensive for what it offers: a metal case, a steel bracelet and a reliable quartz movement. A steady, practical watch for daily wear.
