Review on Waterproof Digital Sports Watch For Men With Stopwatch, Alarm, And LED Backlight - Ideal For Military Use - CKE Brand by Jeff Pettis

I officiate outdoor sports and need a watch that counts down time. Most of the games I do are outdoors and at night under artificial lighting. This watch is nearly impossible to see under those conditions. The viewing angle is approximately 30 degrees. If you aren't in that view you don't see anything. I need to see if it is running and how much time is left and I need to do that quickly while paying attention to the game. Trying to do a quick look at this watch doesn't work. The only way to see what is happening is to hit the backlight button. Now it's a two hand operation and taking longer than I need to get a quick look at what is happening. LCD's work on reflecting available light and the black face makes it very difficult to see the time. If you just want a casual watch it may be fine, but you won't be able to get a good view of the time if you on a date without staring at it. I didn't return it as the price is low, and now I know why. If you need a big display that's easily visible, this is not your watch.
