I bought an older Miró automatic from Massdrop last year - the version with the printed dial. The case and hands on this watch look similar, so I figured I'd comment.
The dial on mine is very simply printed, and comes off cheap - the color is flat, and the minimally printed dial doesn't seem special. The textured dial with applied indices on this model look much more upscale.
The hands on this watch look the same as mine, and while they don't look special or fancy, they get the job done and are quite legible. I would prefer it if they were the same shape, but in polished metal. I don't know if these hands are lumed, mine aren't. The red seconds hand is a nice touch.
I got mine on the mesh bracelet, and it seems decently hefty and nicely made. The biggest issue is that it's quite polished and glossy, which gives the watch a blingy feel that doesn't match the brushed case I have. I actually put the bracelet on a Hamilton Khaki Scuba diver-style watch with a partially polished case, and not only does it match that watch better, but it turns that watch into a Breitling SuperOcean Heritage lookalike. Good bracelet, bad match for this style of watch.
The biggest letdown would have to be the domed sapphire crystal. It's domed and presumably sapphire, but the view is heavily distorted at the edges, and probably distorted in the middle as well, as it doesn't appear as sharp as the domed sapphire on my Hamilton Khaki Field (38mm). Granted, these Mirós are less expensive than the Hamiltons, but I'd prefer a flat crystal if the domed crystal was going to look like that.

Aliasfoxthe description says the hands are lumed... btw, how does the clasp on that metal band work? can you take a few pictures if you still have it around?

AliasfoxI'm actually a fan of the distorted views from the side or edge, but it's pretty clear when it's a straight-on view. This might be a difference between the older version and new.

FarragoNot wearing it today, but it's the same kind of clasp that you'd find on a Skagen. Small hooks latch onto a bar, and a cover that snaps over that to lock it in place. The Miro clasp has an additional safety latch on top of that. The lower half is press-fit onto the bracelet, and is infinitely adjustable using the cam. Not sure if that's the best description, but it's not a deployant or a tang, if that's what you're wondering.
It's not the highest quality (it seems mostly stamped metal), but I find it much more comfortable than the double sided deployant on my Stowa's Milanese bracelet - so much so that I've never worn the Stowa on that bracelet past the first couple of weeks (now on either a brown or black cordovan).
