Most small quartz watches look alike: a plain dial, a plain strap, nothing to remember them by. This Excellanc stands out because of the pairing at its heart. A blue dial sits above a warm brown faux leather strap, and the contrast gives it far more character than the usual all-one-colour model.
The round case is finished in a silver-tone metal and measures just 26.5 mm across, with a slim 7 mm profile. It sits close to the wrist and feels light, the kind of watch you forget you are wearing until you glance down. The dial reads easily, with clearly drawn Arabic numerals and white markers that stand out well against the blue, so checking the time takes no effort.
The faux leather strap is soft, easy to look after and 14 mm wide, with a pin buckle clasp that closes it securely. The whole watch measures 21 cm from end to end. Brown and blue are friendly colours to dress around, so it slips easily into everyday outfits, from denim and a knit to something a little smarter for the office.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps the time reliably, and a mineral glass protects the dial. It is an inexpensive watch, but it has been put together with care, and the details are well thought through for such a modest price.
If you like the silver-tone case and want to see how it compares with other looks, take a stroll through our women's silver-tone watches. You may find a second favourite to rotate with this one.
