Some watches ask a lot of you: squinting at tiny hands, fiddling with a stiff clasp, worrying about every knock. This one keeps things easy. The digital display shows the time in plain numbers, so a glance on the bus, at your desk or in the school queue tells you what you need. There are no hands to decipher and nothing to wind or adjust.
On the wrist, it is a confident, oversized piece. The round metal case is black and measures 45 mm across and 13 mm thick, framing a grey dial with clear, well-drawn Arabic numerals. That soft grey keeps the black case from looking heavy, and the whole look slips easily under a shirt cuff or sits on top of a chunky knit. If you like the warmth of a brown strap against dark tones, it is a pairing that works with denim, tailoring and everything in between.
The strap is faux leather in brown, gentle against the skin, and it fastens with a classic pin buckle so you can set the fit hole by hole. It is 22 mm wide, and the watch measures 24.5 cm in total. If you enjoy the look, you will find more like it in our women's leather strap watches.
Inside is a quartz movement, accurate and low-maintenance. When the battery eventually runs out, a watchmaker can swap it in a few minutes. A mineral glass protects the dial. Add the fact that this Excellanc is an inexpensive way to treat yourself, and you have an everyday women's watch that is easy to live with.
