Looking for a present for a brother, a father or a friend who always asks what time it is? This Excellanc men's watch is an easy one to wrap up. It is a quartz watch with a round 40 mm case, a white dial and a brown faux leather strap, and since it is inexpensive, it suits a birthday just as well as a small thank-you.
Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It is accurate, needs no winding or setting routine, and all it asks for is a new battery when the old one runs out.
The white dial gives a clean, clear reading, and the Arabic numerals mean nobody has to squint or count markers. The case is metal in an anthracite colour, which sits nicely against the white face. The mineral glass protects the dial.
At 40 mm across and 9 mm thick, the case suits most men's wrists without looking oversized. If the person you are buying for is somewhere between sizes, our watch size guide can help you decide. The watch weighs 35 g, so it is light enough to forget about during the day.
The strap is brown faux leather, and a damp cloth is all it needs to look tidy again. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, and the total length is 24 cm. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, which is the figure to keep in mind if the recipient ever fancies swapping the strap.
It is a watch for ordinary days, from the office to a lazy weekend, and the brown strap and white dial go with just about anything in a man's wardrobe.
