The first thing you notice is how calm it looks. A clean white dial sits inside a round silver-tone case, and the warm brown strap underneath stops it from feeling cold or too formal. It is the sort of watch that looks like it already belongs in your day.
This is the Excellanc women's watch with a 40 mm case, so it has real presence on the wrist without shouting about it. At 8 mm thick it stays reasonably slim, and the round shape keeps the whole look classic. If you like a watch you can see properly, rather than a tiny one that disappears under a sleeve, this size will suit you.
Behind the glass the white dial is simple and easy on the eye, with well-drawn Arabic numerals that let you read the time at a glance. A mineral glass protects it, and the analogue display keeps things pleasantly old-school.
The strap is brown faux leather, light and soft, and it closes with a traditional pin buckle. It measures 20 mm wide and the watch is 23 cm long from end to end. Because the metal case is silver-tone and the strap is a neutral brown, it is easy to wear with almost anything, from jeans and a jumper to a little black dress.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps accurate time without fuss, so you can put it on in the morning and forget about it. It is just as happy at the office on a Monday as it is out with friends on a Saturday night.
It is also inexpensive, which makes it an easy one to try if you have been meaning to add a white-dial watch to your collection. And if you love the silver-tone case, you will find more in the same spirit among our silver-tone watches for women.
