My name
is Bill and I have a problem! I have
become hooked on watches. While the
younger generation is looking at their smart phones (I have one) for the time,
I still glance at my wrist. The plus
side of this watch is that it has a traditional watch band, not weird clasps
that mimic traditional bands, no expansion band just a "traditional"
plastic band. I chose this watch out of
those offered due to that fact and that it has a light. Rather than dig my phone out in a rock
concert (classic rock like the WHO) I
like just pushing a button and having my dial light up. That's the good news.
Here is
the bad, I have 20/20 vision with my bifocals.
The instructions for the watch may have well been printed on the head of
a pin. The font appears to be smaller
than 4pts. I am not at home and don't
carry a magnifying glass with me while I travel. It would have helped with the
instructions. It is possible due to the
nearly impossible to read instructions that I am not able to set the date. I did set the digital time but frankly am not
sure how that happen. The analog time is
plain old, plain old, you pull the stem and turn the hands. I will wear the watch due to the analog time and the light. All the other features including date,
digital time, 2nd travel zone, stop watch etc may work just fine if I could
read the blanketity blank instructions. Considering the fact that senior
citizens appear to be the only age category that consistently wears a watch, I
would suggest instructions in a legible font size would be a major selling
factor.
