shock resistant, accurate...but unless you have 20/20 vision and are in bright light conditions you will have difficulty making out the 3 tiny digital areas rendering them practically useless to you. It is accurate. I understand the rational to give the appearance of an analog watch with a dark face...for the price...hum....oh and the light is a tiny yellow side light also useless does not even light up the entire face of the watch at night. Not sure how the designers let this one slip by...looks nice but basically you are left with an analog watch that looks digital but effectively no. They need to pull this watch go back to the drawing board. I would not buy it again...yeah concur it is kinda disappointing and I had read the previous 1 star reviews but was willing to buy it because I wanted the analog baby g...keeps accurate time....
