Looking for a present that feels thoughtful without costing much? This Excellanc women's watch is an easy one to wrap up. It is inexpensive, it suits almost anyone who likes a clean, grown-up look, and it does not need any explaining. Whoever opens the box will simply put it on and wear it.
The star of the show is the black dial, kept simple on purpose. Bold Arabic numerals mark the hours, so you read the time at a glance, whether you are on the train, in a meeting or checking whether you are late for dinner.
Around the dial sits a round metal case in a silver-tone finish, 36 mm across and 8 mm thick. That is a size with a bit of presence on the wrist, yet slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff. The cool silver-tone against the deep black is a contrast that never looks fussy. If you enjoy that look, you will find more in our silver-tone watches for women.
The strap is black synthetic leather, 16 mm wide, soft to wear and easy to wipe clean. A pin buckle clasp lets you set the length hole by hole until it sits exactly right. Fully extended, the watch measures 24 cm in total, which is worth checking against your wrist, or the wrist of the person you are buying for.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps the analogue display accurate without any fuss, no winding and nothing to think about. A mineral glass covers the dial and helps it cope with the small knocks of daily life.
Black on black with a silver-tone edge goes with jeans on a Saturday just as easily as with office tailoring on a Monday. It is a dependable everyday watch from Excellanc, and a good way to start someone's collection.
