Its full lume dial and sapphire bezel provide excellent visibility, while the reliable NH35 movement is a plus for precision.

At a glance
Pulled straight from the spec sheet, framed for the buyer. The editorial verdict is the Sensei's take above.
Sensei Says
NH35. An entry-tier movement (think Seiko NH-series): rugged, serviceable anywhere, and easy to live with. Not decorated, but it just works.
At 42 mm it has present, sporty proportions, a 48 mm lug-to-lug suits most wrists.
Fairly priced for what it is.
