This is a very good watch for the money. I wasn't impressed with the black finish as it scratches too easily compared to other pvd coated watches. The strap is too stiff and doesn't change shape when worn. I've found the watch wants to wander either side of my wrist because the strap doesn't like to fit. The light is nothing special, but in daylight the dial is very legible. I've had great results with several Eco=drive watches, so I assume this watch will last longer than I intend to wear it. Discreet field watch with uncomfortable strap.
