Cheap Alain Miller men's watch 45 mm faux leather strap

The first thing you notice about this Alain Miller is the silver-tone metal case, a round 45 mm shape just 11 mm thick, finished with a mineral glass cover and a black faux leather strap. It is a quartz men's watch with an analogue display, and at this price it is honestly inexpensive for what you get.

Reading the time at a glance

The silver dial gives the hands a clear contrast, and the Arabic numerals mean there is never any guessing. The markers are black and luminescent, so once they have caught some light you can still read the time in a dark room. Put simply, it is a watch that does what you ask of it.

Movement and water

Inside sits a GL32 quartz movement, which is dependable and asks very little of you apart from a new battery every so often. The watch is splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is fine, but take it off for the shower or a swim.

Size, strap and clasp

At 45 mm the case has real presence and weighs 45 g. If you have a slim wrist, check that it will not overhang before you choose it. The strap is 22 mm wide between the lugs, which is the figure to remember if you ever want to swap it, and the total length is 24.5 cm. It fastens with a classic pin buckle and wipes clean with a damp cloth.

With its black faux leather strap, it sits happily with a shirt or a suit, and it is just as easy to wear with jeans at the weekend. If you like the look, you can browse more men's watches with leather straps for the same everyday style.
