Cheap watch for men Alain Miller silver-tone dial

Silver and two-tone metal is an easy palette to dress: it sits well with a white or pale blue shirt, a navy knit or a plain grey suit, and it never competes with what you are wearing. This Alain Miller men's watch has a silver-tone dial, a round two-tone metal case and a matching two-tone bracelet, and it is quite inexpensive for a watch that looks this tidy.

Movement and reading the time

Inside is a quartz movement, the SL28, so the time stays steady without any winding. The display is analogue. When the battery eventually runs low, have it changed by a watchmaker, who can check the seals at the same time. The silver-tone dial gives good contrast with the hands, and slim baton markers show the hours without crowding the face.

Date and luminous hands

A small window shows the date. The hands carry a luminescent coating: once they have been charged by light, you can still read them in the dark.

Case size and fit

The case is 36.5 mm across and 10.5 mm thick, with a mineral glass crystal. It is a restrained size that suits slimmer wrists, and our watch size guide will help you check it against your own wrist.

The bracelet

The metal bracelet is 20 mm wide and 23.5 cm long overall. It is made of links, so you can shorten it by removing some. The size guide explains how, and it is worth keeping the spare links in case you need them later.

Quiet and uncomplicated, this is a watch you tend to forget you are wearing. The metal bracelet makes it comfortable for every day, whether you are at the office or out for the evening.
