The date is hard to read because it is very small with very little contrast and not magnified. Most times I can not use the watch to check the date.
Was a gift and looks great, only thing I have to say is instruction booklet should match the watch, that's why 4 stars and not 5.
I bough this watch a month ago and am very satisfy with the product
I got this watch for Christmas and just love it. It's my first high end watch and love wearing it.
