Cheap women's watch Excellanc white black faux leather strap

The strap on this Excellanc watch is faux leather in black, and it behaves the way good synthetic leather should: light on the wrist, flexible from the first wear, with none of the stiffness you sometimes get from a new strap. It is 14 mm wide and fastens with a standard pin buckle, so you adjust it exactly as you would any classic watch.

Against the black strap, the dial is white. That contrast is the whole look: a clean, bright face that is easy to read at a glance, with Roman numerals marking the hours. The numerals give it a traditional character, the kind of detail that does not date.

The case is round, made of metal, and measures 37 mm across and 8 mm thick. That is a little more presence than a very small women's watch, but still slim enough to slide under a cuff. Fully extended, the watch measures 23 cm from end to end.

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display, which keeps time accurately without any winding or fuss. The dial is protected by mineral glass, a sensible choice against the minor knocks that come with daily wear.

Styling is simple. Black and white goes with almost everything, so the watch sits as easily with a crisp shirt as with a knit jumper. It is inexpensive, and it looks tidy rather than flashy, which makes it a practical pick for work, weekends and everything between.

If you would like to compare it with other options, our selection of women's watches with leather-look straps covers a range of case sizes, dial colours and strap finishes.
