Picture the walk to the office on a grey Tuesday morning: coat on, bag over one shoulder, and a quick glance at your wrist to check you have time for a coffee. On this Excellanc watch, that glance lands on a pink dial with Roman numerals, easy to read and quietly polished. The round case measures 38 mm across and 8 mm thick, a size that is noticeable without taking over your wrist.
The strap is pink faux leather, soft to wear and simple to look after. It is 12 mm wide, and the total length is 23 cm including the case. A pin buckle lets you fit it hole by hole, so you can settle on exactly the right snugness. The case is metal, and a mineral glass protects the dial from the small knocks of daily life. Because the pink is gentle rather than loud, the watch works with jeans and a knit at the weekend just as well as with a work outfit.
Inside, a quartz movement keeps time with an analogue display. There is nothing to wind and nothing to set up beyond the time itself, which suits a watch meant to be worn every day. It is also an inexpensive way to add a little colour to your wrist without committing to a bigger purchase.
