This watch has gray display numbers on a black background (as shown in the picture), which I am not crazy about. I think black numbers on a grey background (like most digital watches) is easier to read. I think Freestyle may have designed the watch this way because it IS very easy to read in very bright sunlight. Or, maybe it is just supposed to look cool.

Otherwise, this watch is pretty nice. All of the plastics and rubbers are high quality. The crystal is very clear and looks tough and scratch-resistant. This watch does not look cheap, and in fact looks pretty high end for a sporty digital watch. The watch and band are wider than normal, without being ridiculous. The watch face is about 1 3/4" wide.

It is fairly easy and intuitive to set the watch and use the different features. The backlight is blue and works well for reading the time in the dark.

If you can live with the dark display and would like an oversized watch style, this is pretty good choice for under $50.

I have only had the watch a couple of days, so I can't comment on long term durability. However, it looks like it will hold up well.

I love this watch. The reverse LCD is nice, the info is easy to read, and the thing just looks great. But the band breaks much too easily. I've had to replace mine three times. I'm not hard on it, but just putting it on and taking it off daily cracks the band adjacent to the slot I use for sizing. For 25 bucks, you can't beat it. Just buy a couple of bands to go with.

got this watch when i first entered the army it was the coolest looking one at the PX so i snagged it

this thing survived all the way through basic training(boot camp)

the start/lap button no longer works but i can still adjust the time
(hard jump plus smashing against an M-16 can be thanked for that)

band started ripping about 2 weeks ago so i took it down to a offical "dealer" had it back within a week

overall this watch has exceded most other watches i have had that were twice the price

Side note: still on the first battery

Very cheap Watch, very bad watch.. dont go swimming with this watch.. i did it, and the watch started to fail, wrong time, inussual behavior, and most of the functions just stopped. dont waste your money, buy a Casio.

If you a are a sports man, this is the watcht that you are looking for. All the sports that I practice (Jogging, biking, surfing and tennis) needs to be informed of the time, date, alarms, etc..So, you request a watch that can assumes all those roles. Just be sure to wash it after sports.

This purchase was made for my watch loving husband. Being one that complains over how much he spends on watches, I was pleasantly suprised that he was able to find one that was cheap and sleek at the same time. It is a good buy and it looks great!
