Cheap Alain Miller men's watch 40 mm steel bracelet

Dark blue dial, silver-tone steel: this Alain Miller sits comfortably with a navy jumper, a white shirt or a plain grey tee. It is a men's watch with a 40 mm round case, and at this price it is honestly inexpensive for what you get.

What the dial gives you

The dark blue face is easy to read at a glance. Arabic numerals mark the hours, the indexes are white, and a small window shows the date. Nothing else competes for attention, so you can check the time quickly even on the move.

Movement and build

Inside is a quartz movement, the SL28, which keeps steady time without any winding or servicing. When the battery eventually runs low, take it to a watchmaker, who can also check the seals. The metal case is silver-tone and 9 mm thick, with a mineral glass front. At 40 mm across it is a standard size for a man's wrist, and our watch size guide explains how to judge the fit.

Bracelet and clasp

The stainless steel bracelet is silver-tone, 20 mm wide and 22 cm long in total. You adjust it by removing links, and it is worth keeping any you take out in case you need them later. A deployant clasp closes it with one click and lets you take the watch off without it slipping from your hand.

With its metal bracelet and neutral colours, it works as an everyday watch, at the office on weekdays and with casual clothes at the weekend.
