I have been looking for a time piece that was simple clean and clear. I don't like digital watches, and have always favored the traditional clock face. When I seen this watch I had read all the reviews and decided to take a chance on it. Glad I did! I love it! I can see the time without having to squint and I can also see the date the date portion is magnified. It can sometimes be difficult to see, but I just adjust my angle and it's good. No regrets here!
