but it matches the Amazon product description, so there have been no unpleasant surprises.  Although it's a little smaller in size than I anticipated, I like the boldness of the face design of this watch, the contrasting color of the hands & the fact that you can indeed read the time in total darkness with this instrument.  The second hand is not illuminated, however, so if that is a critical feature then this is not the watch for you.  The hour positions other than 12, 3, 6 & 9 are also not illuminated, but, with those reference points, there is no difficulty in telling the time in the dark.  The rubber band is a trifle lighter weight than I expected, but it's comfortable to wear & I can only hope it will prove to be durable long-term as well.  The only real negative point I have to report thus far is that the date window/readout is so small in size that it's almost unusable unless you have very sharp vision. In summary, for a $65 watch with free shipping, I think it represents good value for the price.
