Can’t read it in low light

I can’t read the hands in low light, need to have white hands, can’t read it indoors

Can’t read the dials; blends into background.

I bought this watch to tell the time of day. This watch looks great in the photo. I’m t is sold and beautiful. But you can’t read the time due to the dial’s color blending into background; indoors or outdoors is the same almost impossible ability to read the time. What a disappointment. I owned it less than one day and knew I’d have to return it. Wholly not acceptable. Very disappointed. I had my first CITIZEN watch 23 years until a lost stop watch push button couldn’t be replaced. I’ll try another CITIZEN watch which has white or legible hands that can be read easily at a glance without eye strain or by maneuvering the watch to catch the light just right to read the time. Watch does not illuminate for night glow which you’d think would be a standard feature. I miss my old CITIZEN. I’m not giving up though. Note to CITIZEN: Please fix the color of the main dials! And don’t let anyone buy this watch without full disclosure. Thanks for allowing candid reviews. But I couldn’t believe the watch dials are almost invisible. Darn it.

Readability

Got this timepiece as a gift a couple of years ago. Great piece of engineering. Bad thought process regarding presentation. Can barely read the face unless in bright light. Hands should have been highlighted with a bright white (lumed) inset as well as hour marks. Good watch. Great looks. Nice piece of jewelry. Bad functionality for actually reading the time.

Great looking watch if you're in direct sunlight

The second hand isn't a true second hand, the second hand is one of the small dials in the watch face. The hour and minute hand are very difficult to read because they are very similar in color to the watch face. I work in healthcare and I need a second hand that is easily read as well as being able to easily read the time and sometimes low lit areas.
