Cheap men's watch Excellanc white dial 40 mm

Most basic quartz watches at this level have a plain strap with a buckle. This Excellanc men's watch is different: it has a stainless steel expanding bracelet that slides over the hand with no clasp to fasten, and it is inexpensive for a watch built this way.

Dial and legibility

The dial is white with simple line markers for the hours, so the time reads at a glance without any clutter. The display is analogue only, and the plain face sits well alongside other minimalist men's watches.

Movement

Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps accurate time without any servicing. When the battery runs flat, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals while the case is open.

Case and glass

The round case is made of silver-coloured metal and measures 40 mm across, a standard size for a man's wrist. It is 8 mm thick, so it slips under a cuff easily. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic does.

Bracelet

The silver-coloured stainless steel bracelet is 20 mm wide, with a total length of 21.5 cm. Because it is an expanding bracelet, there is no buckle to adjust. You simply put it on and it stretches to fit.

The silver case and white dial are neutral enough for the office, and just as suitable with jeans and a T-shirt at the weekend.
