The strap is faux leather in a soft grey, light and supple on the wrist, with none of the stiffness you often get from a new strap. It sets the tone for the whole watch, which is quiet, tidy and easy to wear.
The dial is grey too, and a pale, clean background suits the silver-tone markings well. Arabic numerals and baton indexes share the dial, so you read the time at a glance without squinting.
The round case is metal in a silver-tone finish and measures 32 mm across, a classic size for a women's watch. It is 9 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff without any fuss. The strap is 12 mm wide and closes with a pin buckle.
Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, which means an accurate time with nothing to wind or set apart from the occasional adjustment. A mineral glass protects the dial.
The watch is by Excellanc, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to add a neutral piece to your collection. Grey goes with navy, black, cream and denim alike, so it works for the office as well as a weekend out.
It also makes an easy gift. If you like the silver-tone case and want to compare other styles, have a look at our silver-tone watches for women and pick the one that suits you best.
