I love negative displays, but I couldn't justify the extra $$$ for this compared to the standard Rangeman, so I bought the positive display model and used the hell out of it for a year. Recently, I had some extra money and splurged on the BJ-1JF and now it's my new favorite watch. It's great looking and obviously has all the same features as the positive model. I would have to say that the positive display model is the more useful of the two for outdoor activities - I use that version for hiking, skiing, swimming, etc. However, I wear the negative display model as my daily watch - I love the way it looks and I find I can't stop checking the time just to stare at it - weird, I know.
