for an all plastic watch this watch feels like it was made of metal. it is a very big watch for a person like myself who only has a small 8 inch wrist. it has a very fancy space age dial. but the display is very hard to read in dim light. if you have a very bright light source like sunlight around you its very easy to read! but if its light from an incandescent source like a light bulb it very difficult to read. the back-light is very good and does a good job of illuminating the dial in complete darkness.

i would recommend this watch because it is the first plastic /resin watch that feels like its solidly constructed. and its not feather light, nor is it heavy. it has a nice weight to it. four stars for a solidly made watch. one star for its very dim display,

i myself have worn many Armitron watches over the years! but now they have resorted to manufacturing all plastic watches. which i must admit i don't like. i prefer the watch be an all metal case and bezel. metal is more durable than plastic. and it can withstand being in direct sunlight, plastic watches cannot.
