I really like this watch, but had to return it because I couldn't read the date. I think it might be because I'm a little near sighted because I was able to see the date when I used my glasses. However, I don't wear my glasses all the time, and I didn't want to have to put them on just to read the date on my watch, so I returned it. There was no problem with the return process. If you have good eyesight, the small date might not even be an issue for you, so don't let me steer you away from a lovely watch! The diamonds sparkle nicely, and the two-tone makes it a very versatile watch.
