I bought this to replace my digital watch which I was having trouble seeing (I'm getting too old!), and also the digital was a pain to change the time  when traveling to other zones.  I just wanted something simple and this one is perfect.  Lights up great at night.  My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the "date" window just a little larger.  I also like the Velcro band which dries out quickly when I get out of the shower.
