You are leaving the house, and you glance at your wrist to check the time before the bus. On this Alain Miller women's watch, the green dial is plain and easy to read, so the answer takes about a second. Baton hour markers keep the face uncluttered, and the silver-tone markers stand out clearly against the green background.
The case is round, 36.5 mm across and 10.5 mm thick, in metal with a silver-tone finish. It sits on the wrist without dominating it, which suits office days, weekends and everything in between. The green is the only real colour, and the rest stays neutral, so it goes with most of what you already wear.
Later, when the light drops on the way home, the luminescent hands still let you read the time without fumbling for your phone. The watch also shows the date, which is handy when you are checking a deadline or booking an appointment.
Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps the time accurately and needs no winding. The crystal is mineral glass, which resists scratches better than plastic does, a sensible choice for a watch you will wear every day.
The silver-tone metal bracelet is made of links and is 20 mm wide. Overall the watch measures 23.5 cm end to end. To fit it to your wrist, you remove one or more links, and our watch size guide explains how to do it and how to measure your wrist beforehand.
It is also an inexpensive way to add a little colour to your wrist without committing to anything loud. If you like the silver-tone look, you can browse our other silver-tone women's watches, and our care advice will help you keep the case and bracelet looking good over time.
