Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without costing a fortune? This Excellanc women's watch is an easy one to wrap up. It is gold-tone from case to bracelet, it has a blue dial that people notice, and it is inexpensive enough that you can add a card and a nice box without a second thought.
The colour pairing is what makes it. The gold-tone case frames a deep blue dial, and slim baton markers keep the face clean and uncluttered. It reads as polished rather than flashy, which suits anyone who likes a little warmth on the wrist but not a lot of fuss.
At 30 mm across, the round case is small and neat, so it sits well on slender wrists. It is 9 mm thick, which is slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching.
The metal bracelet is made of links, so it can be shortened by removing a few of them. If you are buying for someone else and are unsure of her wrist, our watch size guide will help you judge the fit before you order. The deployant clasp keeps things secure and means the watch will not slip off when it is opened.
Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means accurate time and no routine upkeep. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. The glass is mineral.
Because the gold-tone finish and blue dial are quietly dressy, this is a watch that moves easily from a Monday morning at the office to a Saturday evening out. It would also sit nicely beside other pieces from our gold-tone watches for women, if you are building a small collection.
