If you are looking for a rugged look in a watch this is it. For the price the size and the style can't be beat. My wish is the face was white and the LCD a little brighter. But it is a good look if you like big rugged watch's. The instructions were simple and I had my time and date set about 5 minutes after I followed the instructions. Not a lot to read but enough to get you correct in adjusting the time and date.
