Ok, so I am about 90% happy with this watch. First the reason for the 4-star rating.

I think it is absurd that a watch costing over $300 comes with a mineral face crystal (dial window). I have three other watches that are all much cheaper ($80-$90 range) that all three have sapphire crystals. Sapphire is MUCH harder and almost impervious to scratches (my others are still 100% scratch free and taken a decent beating). I have a friend if 2 Citizen Eco Drive watches and both of his watches are very scratched up. So I am a bit nervous that this watch is going to start to look like crap if it gets scratched up. Hopefully not since I will mainly wear it into the office and what not.

The second thing (more of a personal opinion) is that it is a bit smaller than I thought it was and also the band becomes more narrow as it goes down (away from the watch itself). I don't like this and that style doesn't seem quite appropriate for this type of watch (black, more "gruff" style) in my opinion. I would have liked to see it at least stay "square" and the same width all the way around.

Regarding being able to read it, yeah it's a bit tougher in low light, but just fine and easy to read in normal light. This should not shock or upset you as it is all black on black on black on black ...

Overall, great watch that I really like and receive compliments on. I would recommend the purchase, just be careful with the watch face.
