This is a watch you can put on in the morning and forget about. The quartz movement keeps accurate time with no winding and no fuss, and the only upkeep is a new battery every so often. The dial is easy to read at a glance, and the mineral glass resists scratches better than plastic, which helps when a watch is knocked against desks, door frames and bag zips.
The look is simple and warm. The round 43 mm case and the metal bracelet are both gold-tone, set against a silver-tone dial with Arabic numerals, so there is never any doubt about the time. It has a confident presence on the wrist, and it sits just as easily with a shirt at the office as with a dress in the evening.
The bracelet is made of links, so you adjust the fit by removing one or more of them. If you are unsure how a 43 mm case will wear on your wrist, our watch size guide explains how to measure. The bracelet is 21 mm wide, and the total length, watch included, is 20 cm. The clip clasp closes with a simple press.
It is an inexpensive watch from Excellanc, and it works well as a gift for a birthday or just because. For a longer life, a soft cloth and a little care are all it needs to keep its shine.
