Cheap Excellanc women's watch grey 42 mm faux leather strap

The first thing you notice is the strap: grey faux leather, soft against the wrist and without the stiffness that new straps often have. It is 22 mm wide, which suits the generous size of the case, and the colour sits somewhere between charcoal and stone, so it reads as neutral rather than dark.

The dial is grey too, marked with small dots in place of numerals, which keeps the face clean and easy to read at a glance. The round case is metal in a silver tone, 42 mm across and 8 mm thick. That makes it a deliberately oversized women's watch, one that sits boldly on the wrist rather than disappearing under a cuff. The mineral glass over the dial scratches less readily than plastic would.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, so there is nothing to wind and very little to think about once it is set. The pin buckle clasp lets you adjust the fit hole by hole. Total length, watch included, is 23.5 cm, and the whole thing weighs just 40 g, so you will not feel it after the first few minutes.

Grey faux leather works with denim at the weekend and with smarter office clothes during the week. At this price it is an inexpensive way to add a larger watch to your collection, or to give one as a present. If you like the silver-tone case, you will find similar styles among our women's silver-tone watches. This model is made by Excellanc.
