Cheap Excellanc watch for men blue dial 48 mm

If you like a watch that makes itself known, and you have the wrist to carry it, this Excellanc is made for you. It is a men's watch with a round 48 mm case, a blue dial and a brown synthetic leather strap, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to try a big-dial style without a big commitment.

What drives it

Inside is a quartz movement with an analogue display. It is reliable and asks very little of you: apart from a new battery every so often, there is nothing to wind or set.

Reading the time

The blue dial gives a clear, easy read. Arabic numerals sit alongside baton indexes, so you can take in the time at a glance without counting marks. The size helps here too, as there is plenty of dial to look at.

Case and size

The metal case is black, round and 48 mm across, with a thickness of 12 mm and a mineral glass over the dial. It weighs 60 g. This is a large diameter, best suited to broader wrists or anyone who simply likes a chunky watch. If you are unsure how it will sit on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. The watch is splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.

On the wrist

The brown synthetic leather strap is soft, 24 mm wide and easy to look after, and it closes with a pin buckle. Total length is 24 cm. The warm brown against the black case and blue dial gives it a bit of character, and it sits comfortably with office clothes as well as a casual weekend outfit. It is the sort of watch you put on in the morning and forget about until someone asks where you found it.
