Hard to read

Received this as a gift from my husband. Love how it looks, but it's really really hard to read the time. The light reflects off the face in such a way that it's virtually impossible to tell time with this watch. Basically this is just a piece of jewelry.

Disappointed!

I had great expectations but was disappointed when I couldn't easily read the time due to the dark blue face and very narrow silver hands. The watch must be in bright light and at a certain angle for the hands to show. Another consideration was the mineral crystal which easily scratches. I know from experience because I have the "Riva" model that is about 5 years old and the crystal is badly scratched. I returned the watch and will order the Citizen L Sunrise with a sapphire crystal, light blue face and wider hands. I hope I will be happy with my new choice!
