Cheap men's watch Excellanc blue faux leather strap

Most watches at this price are big and heavy. This Excellanc is not: a 35 mm round case, 7 mm thick, with a blue dial and a blue faux leather strap. It is an inexpensive quartz watch built for slim wrists and shirt cuffs.

Size and fit

The silver-tone metal case measures 35 mm across and 7 mm deep, so it sits flat and slides under a cuff without catching. The mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic. The faux leather strap is soft, easy to wipe clean and closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole. It is 18 mm wide between the lugs, which is the figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap. Total length is 23.5 cm.

Reading the time

The blue dial carries Arabic numerals, so the time reads at a glance. The hands are coated with luminescent material: once they have been exposed to light, they stay visible in the dark. The display is analogue.

Movement

Inside is a PC21 quartz movement. It is accurate, needs no winding or setting routine, and the only upkeep is changing the battery now and then.

The blue strap and slim case suit office outfits, and the watch is just as happy at the weekend. If you like the look, you can compare it with other men's leather strap watches in the shop.
