The first thing you notice up close is the mineral glass sitting over a clean white dial, held in a round 45 mm case with a silver-tone finish. This Excellanc is a quartz men's watch with analogue display, and it is inexpensive without looking stripped back.
White dial, round hour markers, and hands that glow. The luminescent hands soak up light during the day, so you can still read them in a dark room or on an evening walk. Nothing crowds the face, which keeps a glance quick.
Inside is a quartz movement, which means no winding and no setting beyond the time itself. When the battery runs out, you simply swap it for a new one.
The strap is brown synthetic leather, closed with a pin buckle, and a damp cloth is all it needs to look fresh again. It measures 24 cm in total length and 24 mm between the lugs, a figure worth noting if you ever want a replacement strap. At 45 mm across and 12 mm thick, the case has real presence and suits medium to large wrists, so have a look at our watch size guide before you decide. The whole watch weighs 71 g.
Splash resistant is the honest description. A rain shower or washing your hands is fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not. Keep it dry for those and it will carry on without fuss.
Brown strap, white dial and a silver-tone case make an easy combination for the office, a casual weekend or anything in between, with no need to think about what it matches.
