Cheap Excellanc green ladies' watch faux leather strap 37 mm

The first thing worth noticing on this Excellanc is the finishing of the case, a neat round shape in metal that measures 37 mm across and only 8 mm in depth. That slim profile means it slips under a cuff without fuss and sits close to the wrist, which suits a watch with such a quiet temperament.

The dial is a soft, warm green, enough to catch the eye without ever shouting. Slim baton markers keep the hours clear, and their silvery finish stands out well against the colour behind them. The strap picks up the same green in faux leather, light and supple, and fastens with a classic pin buckle. It measures 16 mm wide, and the whole watch is 24 cm long with the case included.

Green is easier to wear than it looks. This one works with denim and a plain knit at the weekend just as happily as with a tailored jacket at the office, and it adds a little colour to neutral outfits without needing any other accessory to match. If you like the idea of a strap in a different shade, our women's watches with leather-look straps are worth a browse.

Inside, a quartz movement keeps time reliably and asks nothing of you, while the mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. The watch weighs just 32 g, so you will soon forget you are wearing it. It is also an inexpensive way to bring a considered, grown-up touch of colour to your wrist.
