The display is very easy to read. Everything about the menus are easy for anyone who's ever had a digital watch. My one complain is that I tried using it for doing lap swimming and after 9 laps it just says "L" instead of which lap I'm on. Does it really just go up to 9 laps? That's weird. Oh yeah...plus, the strap comes out of the rubber holder piece while swimming. I love it just for every day use though.
