This watch is pretty great looking and it has the very practical features of not only having self-illuminating hands but also the "indiglo" back-light to ensure you can *always* tell the time. The case has an attractive coating that doesn't wear off with use. It also features a second hand which is accurate which is really good at this pricepoint.
For the downsides, the date function of this watch is a bit flaky and every so often it will drift off by half a day without much logic as to how exactly to get it back. I guess the date function is more for looks than something I would bet my job on, for example. It is also very loud, and I have had people complain about this before. Lastly, the band isn't anything to write home about and is starting to peel away a bit, and is also pretty stained already from sweat so was obviously not treated or anything, at least not well. It is also fairly heavy for the size, but to me, this is a good thing.
Overall, this surpasses my expectations for the price with a very nice face and excellent features.
