Cheap Excellanc gold-tone women's watch brown faux leather

The first thing worth noticing about this Excellanc watch is how little of it there is to carry. The round metal case measures 35 mm across and just 7 mm deep, so it sits close to the wrist and slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve without any fuss. The strap is brown faux leather, soft against the skin, and it closes with a push-button clasp that you can fasten one-handed.

The gold-tone dial is where the character lives. Arabic numerals and baton markers take turns around the edge, which makes the time easy to read at a glance, and the warm shine of the dial and case pairs nicely with the deep brown of the strap. It looks just as comfortable with jeans and a jumper on a Saturday as it does with a blouse and trousers at your desk. If you enjoy this kind of warm metallic finish, you will find more in our women's gold-tone watches, all easy to mix and match with what you already wear.

Inside, a quartz PC21 movement keeps the time accurately without any winding or special care. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks. The strap is 12 mm wide, and the total length including the case is 40 cm.

It is an inexpensive watch, yet it has the look of something chosen with care, which is why it also makes such a thoughtful gift. Whether you are treating yourself or someone you love, it is the sort of small present that gets worn all the time.
