Cheap Excellanc silver-tone women's watch white faux leather

The first thing you notice is the strap: soft white faux leather that sits gently against the wrist and has none of the stiffness you often get with a new strap. It keeps the whole watch light and easy, and at just 26 g you will barely register it is there once it is on.

The round case is metal and measures 32 mm across, with a slim 8 mm profile that slides under a cuff without any fuss. Not too discreet, not too bold, it suits a slender wrist as well as a medium one. The silver-tone dial catches the light without shouting, and simple baton markers keep it clean and easy to read at a glance.

White and silver-tone make a fresh pairing that works with almost anything in your wardrobe, from a crisp shirt on a weekday to a summer dress at the weekend. If you like the look of a classic strap, have a browse through our women's watches with leather-style straps to compare other colours and finishes.

On the practical side, the strap is 14 mm wide and the watch measures 23 cm in total length, case included. A traditional pin buckle lets you set the fit hole by hole, so you can get it just right. Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, a dependable and uncomplicated choice. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes.

This Excellanc is a women's watch that is inexpensive without looking it, and it is the sort of everyday piece you can wear again and again without a second thought.
