I've read in at least one review that the Military / reverse display version of this watch does not work well in low-light conditions. Has anyone out there compared the visibility of both styles of this watch?

Dude, do you need to call in artillery strikes on bears raiding your stash? The military version is designed to work well with $13,000.00 state of the art night vision goggles - for obvious reasons the low light function is REALLY low light! A glow is not a glow if the light is too bright and causes your NVGs to bloom out so you cannot see... Also, a little search foo on the Suunto web site would have answered this question. "The Suunto X10 Military Watch adds to the already full-featured X10 a red back light and a compass that measures in mils or degrees." http://www.suuntowatches.com/Suunto-X10.pro?gclid=CLSnyfCMkJ8CFVw55QodM1gmSw Do not buy the military version unless you have a specific reason (like needing to use mils to call in artillery...).

In reality, it does not matter. If stealthiness is what you want, place tape over the crystal. It will stop the reflection. A glow is a glow when seen through night vision. Before spending the money, think about what watch that you really need. Don't pay for items that sound cool, but are not needed.

I've used both, and the negative face doesn't have as much contrast as the positive face; that being said, I've never had any trouble reading the negative, and in this case (X10M)the black face is necessary for the "stealthy-ness" and comes with a red backlight for keeping night vision accute.
