The older I get, the more I like being able to read the face with and without my glasses... This watch is easy to read, up close or a couple of feet away... The watch is not overly heavy, but feels well made, with a little heft and a solid feel... I don't like drawing attention to my self or my stuff, but still like quality... This watch is simple and to the point... A classic look, a quality feel and powered by the sun... One less battery, or two in the landfill. Very happy with purchase.
