This is one of those times where you make an assumption about something and it bites you. I didn't check to see if this watch had a light. It doesn't. I bought it so that I wouldn't have to lug my phone around at night checking the time while doing the pre-trip on my truck arrive/depart times and noting down the times customers request changes.
One other thing to note is that the crystal is flush with the bezel so it is a bit easier to scratch than had the bezel been raised from the crystal a few mm.
Other than that it's a good looking watch and feels reasonably constructed for the 20 USD price. Nice size on my larger than average wrist. Wife says it looks too small but I am not a fan of oversize watch faces so this is more of a traditionally sized watch.
