Cheap watch for women Excellanc pink grey faux leather strap

Start with the strap: it is faux leather in a soft grey, finished with a classic pin buckle, and it measures 18 mm across. That grey is what keeps this Excellanc watch calm, because the dial above it is a clear, friendly pink. The two colours sit well together, one muted and one bright, so the watch looks considered rather than sugary.

The dial is round and analogue, with small dots marking the hours and silver-tone markers that stand out nicely against the pink background. Nothing crowds the face, and the whole thing reads at a glance. A mineral glass covers it.

At 37 mm across, the case is easy to spot on the wrist without taking it over. It suits slim wrists and sleeves of all kinds, and it sits comfortably with a crisp shirt or a chunky knit alike. The overall length is 19 cm including the case, and the pin buckle lets you fine-tune the fit hole by hole.

Inside is a quartz movement, which means no winding and no fuss. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. It is also an inexpensive way to add a pop of colour to your everyday outfits, or to treat someone for a birthday without overthinking it.
