I really see the time! I can't see anything without glasses, so I looked for watches with easy-to-read numbers rather than a bunch of unnecessary information that doesn't bother me. I don't need a stopwatch or an alarm clock. I just want to know what time it is. This watch is a little more elegant than I expected, which is good because I hang it on my wallet strap instead of wearing it. The group is pleasant and balanced. I know this watch won't make everyone happy, but it was EXACTLY what I was looking for!
