Yes, I would say that it is one of the most confusing digital watches I have come across.  Confusing in how to program it and the function of the buttons.  However! That isn't the main problem.  Every time I want to see what time it is, I have to push the 'Light' button to light up the numbers on the face.  How weird is that?  Thought about taking steps to return it.  But it is was rather inexpensive so I feel the hassle and cost of shipping it back is far more than it is worth.
