Warm brown and a soft silver-tone dial make an easy pair, and that is the whole charm of this Excellanc women's watch. The brown faux leather strap looks right with a pair of blue jeans and a knit on a weekend, and it sits just as happily with a blouse and tailored trousers on a Monday morning. It is the sort of watch you reach for without having to think about what else you are wearing.
The round case is made of metal and measures 32 mm across, so it is noticeable without ever feeling like a statement piece. At 9 mm thick it slips under a cuff without catching. On the dial you will find Arabic numerals alternating with baton markers, which makes the time easy to read at a glance, whatever the light.
The strap is faux leather in a rich brown and 12 mm wide. A wipe with a soft cloth is all it needs to look fresh again. It closes with a classic buckle clasp, so you can set the fit hole by hole until it feels right on your wrist. Fully stretched out, the watch measures 22 cm from end to end.
Inside, the quartz movement keeps the time accurately with an analogue display, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic would. It is an inexpensive watch, yes, but it has been put together with everyday wear in mind, and that is what counts when a watch goes with you from the school run to dinner out.
If you like the warmth of a strap in this tone, you will find more to try in our collection of women's watches with leather-look straps. A little care now and then, such as a gentle wipe and keeping it away from harsh products, will help it stay good-looking for a long time.
