Well, it's definitely not as brilliantly light blue as the picture suggests, unless (as other reviews have stated) you turn your wrist until the overhead lighting is "just right," then, not only is it a bright blue, but to me, I can read the dial more clearly; like the tiny,tiny tiny little dial that gives you the date. I have to really focus on it before I can "get" the date. The day of the week is much easier to read. Overall, I am very glad that I now have this watch, but I will only wear it on weekends, because although I think it is very attractive, I can't read the date easily, like I can with my smaller, easier to read Seiko Men's SNE045 Solar White Dial Watch, which I will try to add a photo, to compare them side by side. Thanks.

Very stylish watch. The cool white dial has a mother of pearl finish. The hands provide excellent contrast to the dial. The time just seems to jump at you once you look at the watch. However the date dial is almost microscopic. I haven't got used to it yet coming from an usual day date watch.

Final impressions I am hugely satisfied with my purchase. Planning to get a Nato strap to go with the watch. I will update photos of the watch then.
