Love this watch because with my 50 yr old eyes, I needed something with a lot of contrast in numbers to face color.  Along with the hands, I needed bold hands.  The last watch I bought had great numbers and the hands were hollowed so you could see thru them.  Makes it hard to tell the time! :)  The only strange thing is this came with a leather band and not the stretchy two tone shown.  I was happy because I was going to change the band anyway!  Can't go wrong if you pick the right Timex for you.
