Very easy to read; bulky strap
The face of this watch is black with white large numbers, and is very easy to read even from a distance. It reminds me of the easy-to-read gauges in an airplane, or a no-nonsense black with white numbers car dashboard. No backlight, but the numbers and hands glow in the dark; the second hand has a glow-in-the-dark spot. The bezel can be rotated (counter-clockwise only) so you can keep track of elapsed time or countdown time, although the numbers and tick-marks are engraved black on dark bronze gunmetal and might be hard to read in some lighting.

The strap has velcro, and the case is held in place by black elastic cloth, which sits between the case and the strap. The good news is it allows some give if the case snags on or bumps into something; the bad news is the case sits very high above your wrist and is unnecessarily chunky. I replaced the original strap with a more traditional strap (20mm, BTW, selection can be limited at this size) to get the case to sit on my wrist without intervening layers.

I set it to a clock synchronized by the radio signal of the national USA timebase (the so-called atomic clock) a week ago; it's now about 3 seconds behind, well within a typical accuracy spec of +/- 30 sec/month.

I'd have given it 5 stars if it had some form of lighting other than glow-in-the-dark, and perhaps a more traditional strap.

Great Everyday Watch
Great watch to have when you need something you don't mind getting beat up a little. Wears great!!
