Excellanc white women's watch 36 mm black faux leather cheap

The first thing you notice up close is the strap: black faux leather, 18 mm wide, finished with a classic pin buckle. It wipes clean with a cloth and the buckle lets you set the length hole by hole, so it sits exactly where you like it. Fully fastened, the watch measures 24 cm and weighs just 26 g, which is why you can forget you are wearing it.

Around that strap sits a round, silver-tone metal case, 36 mm across and 9 mm thick. It is a comfortable size, present on the wrist without being showy, and it suits slimmer and broader wrists equally well.

Under the mineral glass, the dial is a clean, soft white with Arabic numerals, so the time reads at a glance with no squinting. White is one of those quietly useful colours that goes with almost everything, and against the black strap it looks crisp and a little vintage. Excellanc has kept the whole design calm and warm rather than flashy.

It is an easy watch to dress. Wear it with jeans and a favourite jumper on the weekend, then keep it on for the office the next morning, because the black strap and white dial move between the two without any effort. If you enjoy the cool tone of the case, you will find similar pieces among our women's silver-tone watches.

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display, a simple and dependable setup where all you will ever need to do is change the battery now and then. Add the fact that it is an inexpensive watch, and it makes a lovely everyday companion, or a thoughtful gift for someone who likes things understated and easy to wear.
