The Invicta 1808 Specialty Watch sports a broad, classy face of black and silver.  It serves as a formal or casual watch.  There is no need to squint to see the large face. In the light and in the dark, you can see the time quickly and easily. The durable, sturdiness of the watch promises to make the extended Amazon warranty unnecessary, as I don't think any bang or scrape will hurt this beautiful face or band which is made of thick Polyurethane. I have it latched about midway on the strap. The face luminates in seconds when the lights are turned off. This watch can serve all of your purposes. For the current sale price, I think it is an excellent purchase.
