Gold-tone metal has a quiet weight on the wrist, cool at first touch and smooth along the links once it warms up. This Excellanc men's watch pairs a 40 mm round case and matching bracelet with a clean white dial, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to wear a polished look.
The quartz movement keeps accurate time without any winding. When the battery eventually weakens, a watchmaker can replace it and check the seals at the same time. The white dial alternates Arabic numerals with baton indexes, so the time reads at a glance, and a small window shows the date. The hands are luminescent: after exposure to light they remain visible in the dark.
The case is gold-tone metal, 40 mm across and 11 mm thick, with a mix of matt and polished surfaces that catch the light differently as you move. The crystal is mineral glass. The watch weighs 95 g. If you are unsure whether 40 mm suits your wrist, the watch size guide will help you decide.
The gold-tone metal bracelet is 20 mm wide and 22.5 cm long overall. To fit it to your wrist, remove one or more links, and keep any you take out in case you need them again. The butterfly clasp opens from both sides, which makes it easy to put on and take off with one hand.
The warm metal finish works as well with a shirt at the office as with a pair of jeans on a weekend. It is a simple, understated watch that asks for no upkeep beyond the occasional battery change.
