Most basic quartz watches give you the time and little else. This Excellanc men's watch adds a date window, luminous hands and a two-tone metal bracelet, and it is an inexpensive way to get all three.
The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding or fuss. The analogue display is paired with a date window, so you can check the day of the month at a glance. When the battery runs out, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time.
The white dial gives strong contrast with the hands. Arabic numerals and baton markers work together, so you read the time without counting marks. The hands carry a luminous coating: charge them in the light and they stay readable in the dark.
The round metal case is two-tone and measures 41 mm across by 11 mm thick, a standard size for a man's wrist. The surfaces alternate matt and polished finishes. The crystal is mineral glass, which resists scratches better than plastic. If you are unsure about fit, our watch size guide will help you decide and also shows how to shorten the bracelet.
The two-tone bracelet is made of metal links. To shorten it, remove links and keep the spare ones in case you need them later. The butterfly clasp opens on both sides. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, the measurement to know if you ever change the bracelet, and the total length is 23 cm.
This is an everyday watch that works from the office to the weekend, and the metal bracelet makes it easy to wear all day.
