This watch has all he basic requirements of an excellent field watch. It should be easy to read, and the face color and contrasting hands make this watch easy to read at a glance.  That is not always the case with some supposed field watches.  It should be readable in all light conditions, and with the "indiglo" function it is. It should hold up to reasonable shock, and should handle an occasional "dunking", and this watch should do that too.
However, the colors in the pictures presented are not accurate.  The case is darker than pictured, and the band is a dark gray-green, not the brown shown. The watch face and hands are accurately pictured. I actually prefer color of the real thing over the pictures. It is also a bit of a "loud-ticker", but tolerable I think.
Overall, it's a classic watch that is true to the "Form Follows Function" design philosophy.

June 2011 Update:  I've had this watch for a year now. It's my "old-reliable", especially on camping trips.  It fell from a shelf onto a ceramic tile floor (about 6 ft.).  The impact caused the back to pop off and the battery to fall out.  I put everything back together and it works perfectly.  Not a mark on it.  Yep..."old-reliable".
