Display visibility?

[simonmhenderson]

Hi there.

I bought an Observer Stainless today (with a green face) and was rather alrmed when I got home and removed the plastic protection sheet from the face, only to discover that the display looked faded and somewhat washed-out. The actual LCD characters appear almost light-grey, rather than black. In addition, the viewing angle does not appear that great - a few degrees off straight on, and the display exhibits a mirror-like appearance which makes the display very difficult to read.

Is this normal - should I consider taking the watch back to where I bought it?

Many thanks for your help,
Simon

	Suunto Observer - Click for more info The shock-resistant Suunto Observer is a tool built for outdoor challenges, but its timeless design makes it wearable in any situation. The Observer is 1/3 smaller in both diameter and width than the first generation Suunto Watches (Vector, Altimax, etc). It also features a chronograph, which previously was only offered in the Navitech but is now discontinued.
