Most basic quartz watches are built big and plain. This Excellanc takes a different line: a compact 35 mm round case in black metal, a green dial and hands that glow in the dark. It is a men's watch with a bit more character than the usual black-and-silver offering, and at this price it is inexpensive too.
The green dial is the first thing people notice, and it is also easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals mark the hours, with white indexes alongside, so you never have to squint to work out the time. The hands are luminescent: let them soak up some light during the day and they stay legible once it gets dark. The mineral glass over the dial resists scratches better than plastic would. Inside, a quartz movement (PC21) does the work quietly, and the only upkeep is changing the battery now and then.
At 35 mm across and just 7 mm thick, the case slips easily under a shirt cuff and suits slimmer wrists well. If you are unsure about sizing, our watch size guide will help you decide. The whole watch weighs 22 g, so you will barely notice it during the day. The black synthetic leather strap is 18 mm wide, 23.5 cm long in total, and closes with a pin buckle that adjusts hole by hole. A quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps it clean.
Smart enough for the office, relaxed enough for weekends, this is the kind of watch you can put on in the morning and forget about until someone asks where you found that green dial.
