Cheap men's watch Excellanc silver-tone dial

Stainless steel has a cool, smooth feel on the wrist, and this Excellanc quartz watch makes the most of it. The gold-tone case and bracelet frame a silver-tone dial, a combination that looks composed rather than loud. It is a men's watch with a 42 mm round case, and at this price it is genuinely inexpensive for what it offers.

The bracelet

The bracelet is made of stainless steel in a gold-tone finish and is the stretch type, so you slide it onto the wrist without any buckle to fasten. Its total length is 21 cm, and the width between the lugs is 22 mm, which is the measurement to note if you ever want to change the strap.

Case and glass

The case is metal, gold-tone, 42 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist that sits neatly under a shirt cuff. The mineral glass is more resistant to scratches than plastic glass would be, which helps the dial stay clear over time.

Dial and movement

The silver-tone dial is analogue, with gold-tone baton indexes that give it clean structure and make the time quick to read at a glance. Inside is a PC21 quartz movement. It asks very little of you, apart from a battery change from time to time.

Water resistance

The watch is splash resistant. Rain or washing your hands is fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not. Take it off before any of those.

Everyday wear is where it fits best. It is light enough to forget about, smart enough for the office and relaxed enough for the weekend. If the warm tone suits you, you can see more in our collection of men's gold-tone watches.
