This watch is rather difficult to read.  There isn't much contrast between the background and the hands.  To make it worse, the numbers are not really white as they appear to be in the picture, but they are more like metallic-chromed.  So, unless there is a light source and they are directly reflecting light in your direction, there isn't really much contrast happening.  The quality isn't 100% either.  Of the Chrono hands, the hand that counts the minutes is off by 1 minute to the right.  It always resets to 1 minute.  Overall a nice watch, but the price is not quite right for what you are getting.  In my opinion, for the lack of quality and poor readability, this watch should cost half of what it does.
