Review of Freestyle Men's Rockaway Polyurethane Watch #FS712011

This watch has gray display numbers on a black background (as shown in the picture), which I am not crazy about. I think black numbers on a grey background (like most digital watches) is easier to read. I think Freestyle may have designed the watch this way because it IS very easy to read in very bright sunlight. Or, maybe it is just supposed to look cool.

Otherwise, this watch is pretty nice. All of the plastics and rubbers are high quality. The crystal is very clear and looks tough and scratch-resistant. This watch does not look cheap, and in fact looks pretty high end for a sporty digital watch. The watch and band are wider than normal, without being ridiculous. The watch face is about 1 3/4" wide.

It is fairly easy and intuitive to set the watch and use the different features. The backlight is blue and works well for reading the time in the dark.

If you can live with the dark display and would like an oversized watch style, this is pretty good choice for under $50.

I have only had the watch a couple of days, so I can't comment on long term durability. However, it looks like it will hold up well.
