Black hands on a black and gray face is pretty much unreadable and a watch with an unreadable face is pretty much useless. I know black-on-black is the style these days but be real - black hands and a black face? You cannot see the time - what good is a watch that you cannot tell the time with? If you want wrist bling wear a bracelet, you can get a nice one for much less than what this Citizen watch cost.
