If you prefer a watch that stays slim under a shirt cuff and does not shout for attention, this Excellanc men's watch is a sensible pick. It is a quartz model with a round 38 mm case, a grey dial and a grey mesh bracelet, and it is inexpensive without looking stripped back.
The case is metal in a silver tone, 38 mm across and 8 mm thick, which suits most men's wrists without overhanging them. The dial is grey with a plain analogue display, so the time reads quickly at a glance. Thin line markers divide the dial cleanly. The crystal is mineral glass, and the whole watch weighs 49 g.
Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps accurate time and needs no winding or regular servicing. When the battery runs low, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can also check the seals while the case is open.
The bracelet is stainless steel in a grey mesh weave. It is flexible and lets the wrist breathe, and it is 18 mm wide with a total length of 21.5 cm. It fastens with a hook clasp. If you like this style, you can look through our men's mesh strap watches for comparable options.
With its restrained grey and silver colouring and modest 38 mm size, this watch fits easily into daily wear, from the office to the weekend, and goes with both smart and casual clothes.
