Review of Uzi Protector Watch with Blue Face and Nylon Strap

I purchased an Uzi watch in October 2007.6 months later I am very satisfied with its accuracy (less than one minute slow in 6 months). But I purchased the yellow face which was a mistake.I should have returned it immediately but didn't.The hour and minute hands on this watch are white.The contrast between the light yellow face and white hands is so slight that it nearly impossible to read the time in lower light conditions.Uzi may have corrected this problem by making the hands black in later production.If you want a cool yellow face, make sure you check the hand color. Black hands are good. White hands are impossible to read.The other colors (red, blue, black) appear to be fine with good contrast and readability.Otherwise the Uzi Protector is a great value for the money. It is moderately rugged, waterproof to 200m (about 660 ft), keeps very good time, and is not too big or too heavy for even a smaller mans' wrist.At around 70 dollars it is an excellent value, and I will be buying a blue one to add to my collection of fun watches to wear for work and play.If you are buying it to get tritium vial readability, you might look elsewhere as it is minimally acceptable.In total darkness it is readable, but in the dawn and dust periods, it is not. I have a Marathon TSAR which is perfectly readable in all light conditions, but the cost was over $425!The Uzi is a good second choice, but will obviously not provide the same level of performance.The nylon band is OK, but I recommend a cool NATO strap to replace it.For only 16 dollars or so, it really classes up this watch and makes it even more fun!
