Cheap Excellanc watch for men 42 mm brown dial

At first glance, the brown dial is what you notice, set against a silver-tone metal case and bracelet that keep the whole watch in one tidy colour scheme. This is a men's watch from Excellanc, with a 42 mm case, a quartz movement and an analogue display. It is also an inexpensive one, which is rarely obvious from looks alone.

Case, dial and movement

The case is metal in a silver tone, 42 mm across and 10 mm thick, which suits most men's wrists without sitting too tall under a cuff. It weighs 70 g and the crystal is mineral glass. On the dial, baton indexes mark the hours against the brown face, so the time reads quickly at a glance. Inside is a quartz movement: it needs no winding or setting routine, and all it asks for is a new battery when the old one runs out.

Bracelet and fit

The bracelet is metal, silver-tone to match the case, and 25 mm wide. It is an expandable design, so there is no buckle to fasten. You simply slide it over your hand and it settles on the wrist. That makes it quick to put on and take off, and it works as well with a shirt at the office as with jeans and a tee at the weekend. If you like the look of a metal strap, you can compare it with the rest of our men's metal bracelet watches.

For everyday wear, this is a simple watch without fuss: a clear dial, a low-maintenance movement and a bracelet you do not have to think about. It is the kind of watch you put on in the morning and forget about until you need the time.
