This watch is very easy to read and I find the lettering and the hands provide excellent contrast.  I like that the watch can also be wound mechanically.  The instructions that came with the watch are easily understood.  There is supposed to be a card with photos and instructions on how to adjust the watchband.  Mine did not come with the watch.  I checked the manufacturer's website and there was a video concerning the watchband.  My wife read the instructions and adjusted it for me.  Otherwise, I don't know if I would have figured it out.  Maybe it's just me.  In all other respects, it is a wonderful watch and I think it's very good looking.
