Wood on the wrist feels different from steel or silicone: warm, light and a little matte. This Excellanc men's watch has a grey wooden bracelet paired with a black case, and the whole thing weighs just 24 g, so you tend to forget it is there.
The dial is white, with simple line markers in silver tone for the hours. There is nothing crowded about it, so you read the time at a glance. The display is analogue and the glass is mineral.
Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps accurate time and needs no winding or setting routine. The only upkeep is swapping the battery now and then.
The round case measures 44 mm across and 12 mm thick, so it has real presence. If you have a slim wrist, check that the case does not overhang the edges before you commit. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the measurement to note if you ever want to change the strap.
The bracelet is grey wood with a total length of 23.5 cm, closed by a pin buckle clasp. It gives the watch a natural, textured look that sits comfortably between casual and smart.
This is an easy watch for every day, at the office or at the weekend, and it fits neatly alongside the classic men's watches in our range.
