Most green watches are a statement piece you wear once in a while. This Excellanc is a little different, because the green runs through the case and the stainless steel bracelet alike, set against a clean white dial. The result looks considered rather than loud, and it sits comfortably next to denim, a cream knit or a simple black dress.
The dial is the real highlight. The white background keeps everything calm, and the Arabic numerals mean you can read the time at a glance, even when you are rushing for a bus. It is an analogue display, quartz powered, so the time stays accurate without you having to think about it.
At 34 mm across and 10 mm thick, the round metal case has a balanced, slightly dainty presence on the wrist. It is the sort of size that suits slimmer wrists well, yet it never looks lost on a larger one. The mineral glass over the dial is also better at resisting scratches than plastic, which is reassuring for a watch you will wear every day.
Then there is the bit that makes life easier: the bracelet is expanding. There is no clasp to fiddle with and no holes to count. You simply slide it over your hand and it settles into place. The bracelet is 18 mm wide, and the total length, watch included, is 19 cm, so it is worth comparing that with your wrist before you choose.
It is also, to be honest, an inexpensive watch, which makes it easy to add to your collection without second-guessing. You might keep it for work days, or treat it as the colourful accent that lifts a plain outfit on a Saturday evening.
