I chose this watch because it appears to have large, easy to read numbers. I wanted to be able to check the time without putting on my reading glasses. I am able to tell the time if the light is just right but it is not as easy to read as it appears in the photo. It seems that they took the liberty to increase the contrast in the photo. The Indiglo night-light is no help. The night-light causes the numerals to glow in a low contrast shade of indigo. If you have trouble reading, keep looking. This is not the best choice.
