It is a Monday morning, you are juggling a coffee and a laptop bag, and you glance at your wrist to see whether you can still make your train. A white dial helps here. This Excellanc watch has no numerals at all, only fine hour markers, so the time reads in a single look and the face stays calm and uncluttered.
The dial is white with a silver-tone finish, set in a round metal case that measures 34 mm across. That is a classic size for a women's watch, neat enough to slip under a shirt cuff and still clear to read. At 8 mm thick it sits slim on the wrist, and at just 28 g you will soon forget it is there. The mineral glass over the dial keeps the look clean and clear.
The strap is grey faux leather, soft against the skin, 16 mm wide and closed with a traditional pin buckle. With the watch included, the full length is 22.5 cm. Grey is an easy colour to live with: it works with jeans and a jumper at the weekend just as well as with a tailored office look, so the same watch can go from Monday morning to Saturday night without any fuss. If you like this style, you will find more in our women's watches with leather-look straps.
Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so the time stays accurate with no winding and no thought from you. It is an inexpensive watch, yet the look is a considered one, and it makes an easy everyday choice or a thoughtful small gift. If you are still weighing up sizes and styles, our guide to choosing a watch is a good place to start.
