I read in one of your reviews that the positive face is easier to see (read) than the negative. Do they mean the black watch (black on white background) or the yellow watch (light numerals on dark background)? Which do you think is easiest to read at altitude (climbing)? Am buying as surprise gift so can't ask recipient. Thanks pls rsvp asap. Tks Jackie

Jackie,I think its personal preference. I prefer a watch with the positive face (black on light background) and have never experienced a problem reading it, even with sun and snow glare on high mountains. As a side note, I've noticed many outdoor electronic tools such as watches, compasses and GPS units incorporate the positive face.
