While the watch has a nice vintage look, the design falls short in everyday usability. The date is displayed on a small sub-dial, requiring you to count tiny, closely spaced markings just to figure out the day. This is incredibly difficult—after a few seconds, your eyes tire and you lose your place. It’s a needlessly complicated approach to something as simple as the date. If you're designing a watch, it should be user-friendly. A simple numbered date window would have been far more practical, especially since not everyone has perfect vision. A couple of other things to note: I ordered the silver dial version, and in person, it’s noticeably darker than it appears in the product photos. The photos also don’t convey just how small the date sub-dial really is.
