 Great look, but no warranty -- which it unfortunately needed. Twice.Jan 14, 2010
By MW
This is a nice-looking watch with an interesting visual design.
However, having owned two of these watches and seen them both die the same way, I should mention this product's two major design flaws.
The first is obvious -- no illumination function. Why KC wasn't able to include a feature found in almost every electronic watch since the early 80's, I'm not sure.
But that is minor compared to the second design flaw -- this watch is *incredibly* fragile internally, and will die at the slightest shock to the body. Both of the ones I bought, one right after the other, went completely blank. One immediately one and one gradually -- due to a minor shock to the watch after slightly grazing a doorway or object with it. I've owned dozens of electronic watches my whole life and never seen one die from any mishandling before, much less in a such a delicate, fragile way.
The real kicker about this flaw is that unlike large name-brand watch manufacturers, Kenneth Cole's warranty is nonexistent. You have a chance to return the watch if the flaw shows itself in the first 30 days, but after that -- tough luck, you're on your own.
As great looking as this watch is, after paying for one twice and being left with nothing after less than a year each time, I cannot recommend it to my friends, as fragile as it is with no product support. Based on comments I've read in forums on other sites, I am not the only victim when it comes to this model. One would perhaps be okay with a watch that delicate if you purchased it in a drugstore for $12 -- but not when it's an $85+ watch purchased from a middle-to-high-end company like Kenneth Cole. The only reason I can imagine that Kenneth Cole wouldn't stand behind a product like this for more than 30 days is because they know it's cheap crap that's going to die quickly.
So, to summarize: Happy at first, feeling ripped off in the end -- twice. One star.

 hard to readMar 14, 2009
By James S. Fordyce
This is a very handsome watch for a digital. It is somewhat difficult to read the numbers on the face. They do not stand out unless there is good lighting on the face. There is no illuminated option.

stylish and good lookingOct 02, 2009
By O. F. CHENG
I had this watch before as my GF gave me one as a gift. after a year of receiving lots of compliments it felt over face down and the face cracked. I decided I wanted the same one so I ordered on amazon.
It doesn't have illumination but you can read the time with no trouble at all except if the room is dark. The other review says it's hard to read, this happens when battery is low. It happened to me, I had the battery replaced and it was all good.
Main display shows hour and minutes. pressing button on the right side displays date and if you press it one more time you get the seconds. That's it.
After a year of having the one I ordered on amazon, I have to say I am still very happy with it, it works very good, and everywhere I go I get people telling me it's a nice watch (if they don't say anything I can see they are watching it)
 perfectly understatedApr 07, 2012
By Prospective MBA Student
I have had this watch for about 4 months now and love it. It is simple, stylish, and comfortable. I think this is the best formal digital watch avaliable. If I need a stopwatch or any of the other fancier features common to digital watches, I just use my cell phone.
The only thing I would change is a backlight so I can tell what time it is in the dark. Also, I think some of the comments about not being able to tell the time in dim lighting are a bit over blown. I can tell time in about the same amount of light as any other digital watch.
Great Watch, but hard to see the numbers at nightMar 13, 2012
By Arles Tinoco
This one is a great watch, the only thing is that is really hard to see the numbers at night.. i Bought one for my brother and one for me, i just had problems with one of them with U.S. postal service that i need to wait alot for one of this packages.. But i really recommend this watch.
