This is a solid product and a good value for the price ( depending on how you view the included pocket knife ) There are two issues, however. First, while there is a luminous dial, it is very weak. The orange lum reacts well to UV light, but does not charge well with normal indoor lighting. The second is the lack of a screwdown crown. This makes it questionable to immerse in water. I would think that a screwdown crown might cost no more than $5-$10 to include. Should be standard on all "adventure watches" such as this. Band is very comfortable, although I replaced it with a Breitling Super Ocean style.
