By the pics I thought this would be at least some kind of blue.  It is almost black unless you go out in the bright sunlight; Then you can see a hint of blue in there, not like the pics at all.  I did wish it had the lighter shade of blue.  I almost thought I got the wrong model number.
The watch is sturdy built with a side push button opening mechanism.  No night life at all, not even luminescent hands so it's a daytime watch.  No light either but that was in the description.
I just don't like the almost black face contrary to the pictures.  But the silver colored hands and minute markers can be seen easily enough in the daylight.
It is a heavy, lots of metal 100M well built watch.  If I knew it was almost pitch black instead of blue like the photos showed I would not have purchased it.  Other than that it is a handsome well constructed piece.
