Cheap Excellanc white women's watch 40 mm faux leather strap

White is the colour that does the work here. The dial is crisp and clean, set against a warm brown strap, and the pairing slips easily into whatever you already own. Wear it with your favourite jeans and a soft knit at the weekend, or with a tailored blazer and trousers when the diary says office. It looks relaxed in one and quietly smart in the other.

The dial keeps things simple. There are no numerals, only black hour markers that stand out clearly against the white background, so the time is easy to read at a glance. At 40 mm across, the Excellanc has the generous, slightly oversized look that so many of us like on the wrist right now, and at 10 mm thick it still sits neatly.

The case is metal in a silver-tone finish, which is why it sits happily alongside the other pieces in our silver-tone watches for women. The strap is brown faux leather, soft to wear and easy to look after. It is 20 mm wide, and a classic pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole until it feels just right. The watch measures 23 cm in total.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time accurately without any fuss, and the glass over the dial is mineral. It is an inexpensive watch, yet it feels like a treat, which also makes it a lovely idea if you are choosing a gift for someone who likes understated style.
