Cheap women's watch Excellanc dot markers 37 mm gold-tone

At 37 mm across and 8 mm thick, this round case sits right in the sweet spot for a women's watch: big enough to read at a glance, slim enough to slide under a shirt cuff without a fight. It looks deliberate on the wrist rather than oversized, which is exactly what most people want from an everyday piece.

The Excellanc look is all about warmth. The case, the dial and the bracelet are all gold-tone, so the whole watch glows as one piece instead of mixing finishes. Small round dot markers stand in for numerals, keeping the dial clean and a little delicate. Worn with a crisp white shirt, a chunky knit or a simple black dress, it picks up the light and does the styling for you.

The bracelet is metal, made of links and 16 mm wide, and the whole watch measures 18 cm from end to end. If it feels loose, you can take out links to shorten it, and our watch size guide walks you through getting a comfortable fit. A fold-over clasp closes it with a single click, so putting it on in the morning takes seconds.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time accurately without any winding or fuss. The display is analogue, with a mineral glass over the dial, which stands up to everyday scratches better than plastic does. The case itself is metal, in the same gold-tone as the rest.

It is an inexpensive watch, yet it looks far more polished than you would expect, which makes it an easy gift idea or a treat for yourself. If you like the golden finish, have a look at the rest of our gold-tone watches for women to compare styles and sizes.
