I really like this watch but as the title suggests the display is dark.  There is definitely some practicality to the darker, inverted color display.  Since the darker the display the darker the entire profile of the watch as a whole.  There is also the "cool" factor of the display.  However, it was hard for me to read in some situations when the lighting was not even that low.  So I had to constantly use the light to see any information I wanted off the watch.  For some this may be a deal breaker.

Luckily I still find the watch to be great.  The band is heartier than the GWM counterpart.  It's a modestly sized watch which looks good, is durable and has great functionality.

I would recommend this watch as long as you don't mind hitting the light button a little more often.
