I'm a women who likes big watches. I'm also at an age when seeing the numbers on the dial has become a bit more urgent...hate to drag out the reading glasses. Most watches nowadays have lines (instead of numbers) and hands that are just a bit darker than the background. This one you can actually see, plus, push the little button and the dial lights up when you're in a boring movie or half awake in the dark.  The date feature is also handy and the water resistance is superior. I've had a couple of these over the past 20 years. They hold up very well, especially considering the price. I bought an 18 mm, straight pin, two-tone metal Hadley-Roma bracelet watchband with Amazon Prime for $28.66. I'll take it to the watch guy at the mall and have him put it on and remove some links to fit my wrist (6 bucks). Better than any (non-water resistant) $250.00 Michael Kors watch that I can't read most of the time. Total cost: about $70.00 and I'll have it for years.
