 Nice watch - but hard to read in daylight December 5, 2009
Patrick Bennett (Canberra, Australia)
Well, the watch looked good in the ad and the pics on the net, however, when the watch arrived the first thing I noticed (or not noticed) was how difficult it was to read the time. The light setting on this watch really needs to be brighter for sure. I'm not sure if Diesel are trying to increase the longevity of the battery...or whether the lack of brightness is supposed to be part of the 'look' of this watch, but it just doesn't work.
Apart from the dimly lit numbers, the band feels a bit funny. I much prefer my Altivo limited edition concealed watch bands. These feel solid and don't slip. This one slips.
Overall, I'd rate it 2 stars.
 Very cool watch, a little big June 14, 2009

This watch looks very cool. I think it's quite distinctive and I like it a lot. It's a little big and heavy for me. I'm a short guy, only 5 foot six, so I think it would look a little better on a bigger guy.
The numbers are easy to read in low light, especially if you hit the light button, but in some bright light conditions the numbers are hard to read. I think it's fine though. Setting it is easy.
I would recommend it for sure. I wear it when I go to my book signings and special events when I dress up.
Good luck finding the watch for you.

 Not a great idea November 20, 2008

I am sending this product back. It looks nice and the design is different, but the negative aspects simply are too much at this point. First, the book they sent with the watch does not contain instructions for this particular model. Therefore, you spend hours trying to figure out how to set the time, which is not easy. There is a big problem with actually seeing anything on the screen, you basically have to push the light button to make sense of the numbers, if you don't, it looks so pale that it is very hard to see. The watch is kind of heavy, it is not one of these light, modern designs, looks like some objects from the 60's. It is not worth the price.
