Cheap ladies' watch black faux leather 36 mm baton markers

A black watch is the kind of gift that rarely misses: quiet, easy to wear and never out of place. This Excellanc women's watch keeps things restrained, with a black dial, slim baton markers in place of numerals and a round case that stays clean and uncluttered. It is also an inexpensive way to give something that looks considered rather than showy.

The case is black metal, 36 mm across and only 7 mm thick, so it has a pleasant presence on the wrist yet slips under a cuff or a knitted sleeve without fuss. The black faux leather strap is soft against the skin and measures 12 mm wide. A pin buckle clasp lets you set the fit hole by hole, and the full length, case included, is 22.5 cm. At just 26 g, you will soon forget you have it on. It pairs as easily with a crisp shirt as with a jumper, and sits naturally alongside the other women's leather strap watches in the shop.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, a simple and accurate choice that asks very little of its owner. When the battery eventually runs down, a watchmaker can replace it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial from everyday knocks and scratches.
