This watch excels in many areas but its biggest benefit is that aging eyes can easily read it.  I would prefer the numbers to be a little bolder but they are far better than any G-shock.  I've been a huge G-shock fan for many years but I have bought my last until they figure out how to make the numbers bigger.  I do a lot of nighttime running and this watch makes it easy to see how I am doing.  Some other excellent attributes are that it is extremely light weight, comfortable, intuitive, and looks good.  The only drawback is the front glass.  It seems to be a polycarbonate material that is not perfectly flat.  That makes the watch look a little bit cheaper but is also good in that it doesn't act like a mirror in the sun.  For the price this watch is a winner and it will see more use than my $200 G-shock.
