Gave this as a gift to my mother and she was pleased and was able to read the face better especially using the light built into the watch.  Mom has low vision problems so this worked very well.  Our only problem was finding a person who would make the wrist band smaller.  I finally did then mailed it back up to Mom.  That created another problem as we live in Ohio and Mom in Northern Minnesota so the watch stopped working when it reached Mom and the band was still to large.  It is a very nice watch though and easy to read the time.
