Looking for a gift for a man who likes a clean, easy-to-read watch without spending much? This Excellanc quartz watch is a sensible pick, and it is genuinely inexpensive. It has a round silver-coloured metal case, a grey dial and a blue faux leather strap.
The case measures 41 mm across and 9 mm thick, a standard size for a men's watch. If you are unsure how that sits on a given wrist, the watch size guide explains how to compare. The grey dial combines Arabic numerals with baton hour markers in black, so the time can be read at a glance without counting lines. The display is analogue. A mineral glass covers the dial and copes well with daily knocks. Inside is a quartz movement: accurate, simple and with nothing to adjust. The only upkeep is replacing the battery from time to time. The watch weighs 34 g.
The strap is blue and beige faux leather, and a damp cloth is enough to clean it. It fastens with a pin buckle that adjusts hole by hole, and the total length is 25 cm. The width between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure to note if you later want a replacement strap.
The overall look is restrained, with no flashy details, so it suits both a work shirt and a casual weekend outfit. Light and discreet, it is easy to forget it is on your wrist.
