The strap is where this Excellanc watch starts: a blue fabric band, 14 mm wide, soft and light enough that you notice it far less than you would a metal bracelet. It closes with a traditional pin buckle, so you set the length by choosing the hole that suits your wrist. Laid flat, the whole watch measures 22.5 cm from end to end, case included.
The case is round, made of metal in a silver tone, and measures 36 mm across. At 7 mm thick it is slim, which means it slides under a shirt cuff or a knitted sleeve without catching. The size sits comfortably between a dainty watch and a statement piece.
On the dial, the white background is plain and easy to read. Roman numerals mark the hours, a classic touch that has not dated, and the silver-tone indexes stand out clearly against the white. The display is analogue, with hands and nothing else to distract you.
Inside is a quartz movement, the PC21, which keeps steady time and needs no winding. A mineral glass covers the dial to protect it from everyday knocks and scratches.
Styling is straightforward. Silver-tone and white go with almost anything, and the blue fabric adds a little colour without clashing. It works with denim and a simple tee, with a little black dress, or with a sweater and a crisp shirt. If you like this finish, you will find more in our women's silver-tone watches.
This is a women's watch from Excellanc, and it is inexpensive without looking it, a sensible pick if you want something neat and wearable for work, weekends or as a spare on the shelf. Fabric straps are best kept dry, so a quick wipe after a wet day is enough to keep it looking tidy.
