A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Excellent small simple wrist electronic watch.
Lightweight, comfortable.
Once, at the age of 16, with the advent of a mobile phone, he gradually stopped wearing wristwatches, because the phone was always in his hand, everyone scribbled SMS to each other in joy, so that time was always before our eyes.
So it went out of habit: you need to look at the time - we take out the phone.
Only now, to see the time on the phone, you need to get it out of your pocket, open the case (if the phone is in the case), press the power button, unlock it, and only then the display lights up at full brightness and everything becomes visible.

With a wrist watch, the only action that needs to be done is just to look at the left hand. ALL!
Why have I not used wristwatches for so many years? Don't know . It is very comfortable.

Pros

The watch is quite compact and absolutely weightless. With the right choice of tightening the strap, the watch does not remind of itself at all, you practically do not feel it, they do not interfere at all. Good electroluminescent backlight. It shines evenly over the entire display area. The most basic, but complete watch functionality: time in 2 formats (12/24h), display of the date and day of the week, alarm clock, hour signal (2 short signals every hour) and stopwatch. No unnecessary rattles and distracting elements on the scoreboard. Only time, day of the week and date. A readable display, unlike any "toy" watch, here the segments of the LCD display do not "sink" in the depth of the glass and there are no shadows when illuminated at an angle, the numbers are always clear, without shadows. The declared accuracy of the course is +/-30 seconds per month, although after a month it was not necessary to adjust the time at all. Water protection. Although the index "WR" without a number indicates that there is no protection against immersion in water, only against drops, I tried washing them under a thick stream of water with soap, there were no problems. That is, they will definitely not be afraid of heavy rain.

Cons

The display is a little dark. But this is the case with all displays with electroluminescent backlighting. In a simple watch with LED backlight on the side, apart from the usual silver reflector behind the display, there is nothing, and here there is also a backlight layer, it darkens the display a little. In daylight, this is not noticeable, but in a room with weak light it looks a little dark, you have to turn it into the light. Due to the fact that in this series of watches (all similar models) there are only 3 buttons, and not 4, the backlight button is combined with the function button, and the backlight turns on at the same time during a number of operations. This is more of a nitpick, it does not affect the quality of work.
