Unhappy Observer white face visibility..?

I just bought the Observer Titanium elastomer with white face. The watch is great but I am not very comfortable with the visibility if the display. The digits look faded and gray at the most, but far from solid black. The best view angle seems not to be the one when you are looking straight at the face of the watch? I thought of returning it an getting the Stainless just because ithas a green face which is like most other digital watches. Has anyone had the same problem or "observations"? Would you recommend the green over the white face?

Thanks a lot!

Angel

The Green is slightly better to read, but still in direct sun light it may be a bit difficult.

white face

Hi,

I recently switched a 'black' faced Observer for a white face (I have two white ones) as I much prefer the more subtle look and how the face, case and s/s strap all blend as one. Never had a visibility problem with the white faces compared to the more familiar black ones.

Doug.......

Negative vs positive faces

I have heard from several users that it is a matter of preference. Some people have a harder time with the negative faces and being able to read numbers as clearly and some people have the opposite problem. So, like I stated, it is clearly a matter of preference.

Thanks,

Janice
