Cheap ladies' watch silver-tone grey faux leather 32 mm

The first thing to know about this Excellanc watch is how soft the strap feels. It is made from grey faux leather, 12 mm wide, and it sits gently against the skin rather than stiffly around it. The whole watch weighs just 25 g, and the strap measures 22 cm in total length with the case included, so it is easy to forget you are wearing it.

The case is a round 32 mm in metal, only 9 mm thick, which is a comfortable size for most wrists and slim enough to slip under a cuff. The dial is a soft silver shade that stays easy to read. Arabic numerals and baton markers share the dial, so you can check the time at a glance without any fuss.

Grey and silver-tone make a quietly pretty pairing. The colour is calm enough for a work outfit, yet it looks just as natural with jeans and a jumper at the weekend. It is the sort of watch you put on in the morning without thinking, because it goes with nearly everything in your wardrobe.

On the practical side, this is a simple analogue quartz watch. The movement is reliable and straightforward, and all it will ever ask of you is a new battery from time to time. The glass is mineral, and the strap closes with a classic pin buckle that you adjust to your own wrist.

It is also an inexpensive watch, which makes it a lovely gift idea for a sister, a friend or yourself. To keep the faux leather looking good for longer, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth now and then is all it takes.
