watches are kind of personal and not everybody likes the same features.  (end of speech.)  anyway, i really like this one.  the size is large but not too jumbo.  the band is woven nylon with a nice smooth sewn in liner that is very comfortable.  the best feature is that the face is extremely easy to read. sort of like the old railroad face, but updated.  i like the small second hand dial at 6.  the date window is very small.  )personally, i wish it didn't have one at all, but it is small.) as far as i can tell so far, there is no illumination of either the face or hands. seems to keep time well, so far.

5 year warranty.  claimed  water proof to 110m.

price is a little high, but it appears to be a high quality product and it looks cool.  (IMHO it looks a lot better in person than the picture on the website.)

they also have it with the black face, that had me tempted.  i'm glad i went with this one. VERY EASY TO READ AT A GLANCE.

UPDATE:  watch still works great and looks great. price has come down about $30 since i bought mine.  i did replace the band because the tan one got dirty too easily.  instead i replaced it with a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hadley-Roma-Men-s-MSM740RA-220-22-mm-Black-Silicone-Layered-Leather-Watch-Strap/dp/B005EJH00A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hadley-Roma Men's MSM740RA 220 22-mm Black Silicone Layered Leather Watch Strap</a>&nbsp;looks really sharp on this watch! watch continues to keep great time and the battery backup works perfect.
