I read the reviews before buying this product and was almost convinced not to buy it. I was looking for an analog and digital watch - I like the look of a watch with hands (easier to read, looks a little more professional), but when I travel I like to be able to have an alarm function. While the other reviews are correct, it can be hard to see the black LCD in all light, that also becomes one the big draws too - you have a digital watch that is not obviously digital - if I need to see the digital display, worse case I can move it to get the right angle, but otherwise it's kind of stealthy.

The picture does not do this watch justice - it is a very deep black and the crystal provides a depth to the face that belies it's true cost.

A really, really nice watch.
