At 34 mm across and 8 mm thick, this Excellanc watch sits neatly on the wrist: compact enough to look dainty, big enough that you can read it at a glance. The round case is made of metal, and the whole watch weighs just 24 g, so you will barely notice it is there by the end of the day.
The dial is brown, soft and easy to read, and it sets the tone for the whole piece. Against it, the white faux leather strap makes a crisp, clean contrast, a bit like cream next to coffee. It is a combination that lifts a plain outfit without shouting about it.
The strap is 10 mm wide and the watch measures 22 cm from end to end. It closes with a classic pin buckle, the kind you can fasten in a second without thinking. And because the material is faux leather, a quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes to keep the white looking fresh.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps things simple and dependable, with an analogue display and nothing to wind. All it asks for is a new battery every now and then. A mineral glass covers the dial and protects it from the small knocks that come with everyday life.
It is easy to wear from Monday morning to Saturday night, with a shirt at the office or a summer dress at the weekend. And at this price, it is a genuinely inexpensive way to add a little colour to your wrist.
If you like the idea of a leather-look strap, you can compare it with the rest of our women's watches with leather straps and find the shade that suits you best.
