Cool to the touch and with a pleasing weight on the wrist, the gold-tone metal of this Alain Miller men's watch gives it a polished, quietly confident look. It is a quartz watch with an analogue display and a round 45 mm case, and at this price it is an inexpensive way to wear a bracelet watch with some presence.
The case is gold-tone metal, 45 mm across and 12 mm thick. That is a generous size, so if you have a slim wrist it is worth checking the fit first, and our watch size guide explains how. Slim baton hour markers, also gold-tone, keep the dial uncluttered and easy to read at a glance. A mineral glass protects the dial and resists scratches better than plastic.
The bracelet is made of gold-tone metal links, and you adjust it by removing one or more links. Keep any you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes it without fuss and helps stop the watch slipping off your wrist as you take it off. The lug width is 22 mm, the measurement to know if you ever want to change the strap, and the total length is 23 cm.
The quartz movement keeps accurate time with no winding or regular upkeep. When the battery eventually weakens, have it replaced by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The watch is splash resistant, so rain and hand washing are fine, but showers, baths and swimming are not.
Understated and easy to forget about once it is on, this is a watch for every day. The metal bracelet suits both casual and smarter outfits, and its plain gold-tone finish never competes with what you are wearing.
