Cheap gold-tone Excellanc women's watch 22 mm faux leather

Some watches earn their place on your wrist simply by being easy. This Excellanc is one of them. At 22 mm across and just 7 mm thick, the round gold-tone case slips under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching, and the white dial with its clear Arabic numerals means you read the time in a glance, whether you are on the bus, at your desk or running late for the school pick-up.

The black faux leather strap is soft and flexible, and it is the kind of strap that goes with almost anything, from jeans and a jumper on a Saturday to smarter workwear on Monday morning. The contrast between the warm gold-tone metal and the dark strap keeps the look clean and a little dressy without trying too hard. It closes with a classic pin buckle, so there is nothing fiddly to learn. The strap is 12 mm wide and the whole watch measures 22.5 cm, which suits a slimmer wrist nicely.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps time reliably and needs no winding, and the mineral glass over the dial protects it from the small knocks of daily life. It is also an inexpensive way to add a touch of gold-tone to your outfits. If you like the look, have a browse through our gold-tone watches for women to see what else might suit you. A quick wipe with a soft cloth now and then is all it takes to keep the strap looking neat.
