You are halfway out of the door, and one glance at your wrist tells you whether you can still stop for a coffee. On a black dial with clear Arabic numerals, that glance takes a second. This Excellanc watch is built for exactly that kind of day.
The black dial sits inside a round, silver-tone metal case that measures 26.5 mm across and only 7 mm thick. It is a small women's watch, made for slim wrists, and it slips under a cuff without catching. The glass is mineral.
The strap is black faux leather, 14 mm wide. It wipes clean with a cloth, which suits a watch you will wear most days. A classic pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole, and the whole watch measures 21 cm from end to end.
At 16 g it is very light. You feel it when you put it on, then you stop noticing it, which is how a daily watch should behave.
Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display. It is accurate and needs no attention from you, which is all you want from the mechanism of a simple watch.
The black and silver-tone pairing goes with almost anything, from office outfits to weekend jeans. It is also an inexpensive way to add a neat everyday watch to your collection. If you like the look and want to compare similar styles, browse our silver-tone women's watches.
