Cheap Excellanc men's watch expanding bracelet

The case and bracelet of this Excellanc men's watch are both silver-coloured metal, and the bracelet is stainless steel. It feels cool and solid on the wrist, and you could call it an inexpensive watch, though nothing about the build suggests a compromise on everyday use.

Case and glass

The round case measures 36 mm across and 8 mm thick, so it sits flat under a shirt cuff. The case is metal in a silver finish, matching the bracelet. A mineral glass covers the dial and holds up well to daily knocks. The whole watch weighs 47 g.

Dial and reading

The dial is blue, with Arabic numerals and white hour markers. The display is analogue, so the time reads at a glance, even when you are moving. The quartz movement keeps steady time without winding. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.

Expanding bracelet

There is no clasp to fasten. The expanding bracelet stretches so you can slide it over your hand and it settles on the wrist. It is 18 mm wide and 22.5 cm long in total. Because the fit is flexible, it suits a range of wrist sizes, though a 36 mm case looks best on slimmer wrists.

Wearing it every day

The compact case and plain blue dial make this an easy watch to wear from the office to the weekend. It goes with a shirt or a T-shirt, and the silver tone works with most outfits. With no clasp to operate, you can put it on and take it off in a second.
