xBlack is easily readable

By Big Papa Ranked #6 - Altimeters February 3, 2011

I previously reviewed this watch based on years of ownership of a standard Black Vector. I really liked the look of the xBlack, but had some concerns about reading the reverse face in different conditions because of reviews posted here and other sites.

I recently received a new xBlack Vector as a gift, and I have found the reverse face to be easily readible in a variety of conditions. In very low light, it is no different than the Black; I still need to use the backlight, but it is nice that the glow is more subtle, and perhaps even goes a little ways towards preserving my night vision. In all other conditions, I really like the reverse face. It is probably even a bit easier to read while wearing polarized sunglasses than the standard face Vector.

So, if you're on the fence, and think you want this in the xBlack, I say go for it.
