Cheap grey Excellanc women's watch silver-tone dial metal

This is a watch for the woman who wants something neat and unfussy to wear every day: a quiet grey piece that sits comfortably with shirts, knitwear and whatever the working week throws at her. The Excellanc has a round metal case in grey, 32 mm across and 9 mm thick, so it reads as present without taking over the wrist. It is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy choice as a first metal watch or as a gift.

The dial is silver-tone, with small dots marking the hours and nothing more, so the time is clear at a glance in any light. The display is analogue, driven by a quartz movement, and the dial is protected by mineral glass. The bracelet is made of grey metal links, 11 mm wide, with a total length of 23 cm including the case. It closes with a clip clasp in one movement, and the grey of the links matches the case for a clean, single-colour look.

To get the fit right, you remove one or more links until the bracelet sits as you like it. If you are unsure how it will sit on your wrist, our watch size guide explains how to measure and adjust. Keep the metal dry and wipe it with a soft cloth now and then, and it will keep its finish for a long time.
