Some watches ask for attention. This one just gets on with the job: a 36 mm round men's watch from Excellanc, quartz powered, with a white dial you can read in a glance and a brown faux leather strap that goes on in seconds.
The white dial gives the hands plenty of contrast, and the Arabic numerals and baton markers work together so there is no squinting at the time. Inside is a quartz movement, which means accurate timekeeping with no winding and no fuss. The only upkeep is a battery change now and then. It is also an inexpensive way to get a tidy, dependable everyday watch.
The silver-tone metal case measures 36 mm across and just 7 mm thick, so it sits flat and slides under a shirt cuff without catching. The glass is mineral and the whole watch weighs 36 g, light enough that you will forget it is there. If you are unsure whether 36 mm suits your wrist, our watch size guide makes the choice simple.
The brown faux leather strap needs nothing more than a damp cloth to freshen it up. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and the total length is 22.5 cm. Between the lugs the strap is 18 mm wide, worth noting if you ever want to swap in a spare.
With its brown strap and silver-tone case, it fits easily with office clothes, yet it is just as comfortable on a weekend. Wear it from the first meeting of the day to a casual evening out.
