I am a Casio digital watch person - always have been. I wanted a more quality watch so I thought this would do. HME got it here quickly. I sent it back quickly.The main problem is that the digital display is very faint and not like the picture at all. In direct sunlight it may look like the picture if you are at the perfect angle as well. The second problem is that there is no backlight. Finally, the design is over the top. The buttons have orange on them. When you put the watch on, the back of the strap shows in orange. The watch has plastic inserts in the band to keep it in the middle of your wrist, however this thickens the band to much IMO.I did find the perfect watch though: the Citizen JQ8006-53E. It DOES HAVE A LIGHT on the digital portion. Also, the digital portion is more visible in ambient light. It sells for $180.00.
