Looking for a gift for a man who wants something practical and easy to wear? This Alain Miller men's watch has a red dial, a two-tone case and a metal bracelet, and it is inexpensive enough to give without a second thought.
Inside is a quartz movement, the SL28. It runs without winding and asks for very little: the battery just needs changing from time to time. The display is analogue.
The red dial is easy to read at a glance. Simple line markers show the hours without crowding the face, and the markers are gold-tone. The hands carry a luminescent coating, so after some time in the light you can read them in the dark. A date window shows the day of the month.
The round case measures 36.5 mm across and is 10.5 mm thick. That keeps it discreet and a good match for slimmer wrists. The crystal is mineral glass, which stands up to scratches better than plastic.
The two-tone bracelet is made of metal links and has a total length of 23.5 cm. To shorten it, remove links, and it is worth keeping the spare ones. Our watch size guide explains how to do it. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm, the figure to note if you ever want a replacement strap.
This is a watch for every day, equally at home at work and at the weekend.
