I was quite disappointed with this watch when I received it. Bottom line, difficult to both see and read. Do not understand the reason for making the hour hand RED. Red is the first color to disappear in low light situations and that is exactly what happens here. Even when you use the tiny nite lite that the watch provides, you still can't see the red hour hand in anything less that broad daylight.
The digital numbers are microscopic and of very little use.
It seems that CASIO has gone from making some of the best, affordable, timepieces in the world to trading functionality for style points.
TIMEX has surpassed them in the functionality and practicality department.
