Cheap Excellanc women's watch 35 mm baton markers

Most small metal watches ask you to choose between looking neat and looking interesting. This Excellanc leans towards interesting without losing its manners. The slim baton markers keep the dial calm and graphic, and at 35 mm across the round case it sits comfortably on a wrist without taking it over. If you find oversized watches a bit much, this is the sort of size you may have been hunting for.

Notice how the bracelet changes the mood of the whole thing. Instead of a plain strap, you get a metal bracelet made of links, which gives the watch a polished, put-together look. It is 14 mm wide and the watch measures 18 cm from one end to the other, so it should feel light and balanced rather than heavy. A clip clasp fastens it in one simple movement, which is a small pleasure on busy mornings.

The style is easy to wear. A shirt and trousers for the office, jeans and a jumper at the weekend, something a little dressier in the evening: the watch slips between them without any fuss. Both the case and the bracelet are metal, so the look stays consistent from the dial down to the clasp.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means a dependable time reading and nothing to wind. The case is just 8 mm thick, so it slides easily under a cuff. It is also an inexpensive way to add a considered accessory to your everyday rotation, whether you are treating yourself or choosing a gift.

If this one has you in the mood for more, take a look at our women's watches with link bracelets and compare a few shapes and finishes side by side. A soft cloth now and then is all it takes to keep the metal looking its best.
