If you like a large, uncluttered watch and have the wrist to carry it, this Excellanc men's watch is made for you. It is a quartz watch with a 48 mm round case in black metal, a silver dial and a brown faux leather strap, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to get a bold piece with a quiet character.
The silver dial keeps things clear. Arabic numerals and baton markers work together, and the markers are grey, so the time is easy to catch even on the move. The display is analogue, with a mineral glass that resists scratches better than plastic.
Inside is a quartz movement: accurate, simple and needing no winding or adjustment. When the battery runs down, you replace it and carry on. The case measures 48 mm across and 12 mm thick, which puts it among the larger sizes, so it suits broad wrists and anyone who enjoys a substantial watch. If you are unsure how that will sit on you, our watch size guide will help you decide. Water resistance is limited to splashes: rain and hand washing are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.
The brown faux leather strap wipes clean with a damp cloth. It closes with a pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole, so you can settle on the fit that feels right. The strap is 24 mm wide between the lugs, the measurement to note if you ever want to change it, and 24 cm long overall.
This is a watch for every day, equally at home at the office and at the weekend, where its dark case and warm brown strap stay easy to dress up or down.
