Great look, but no warranty -- which it unfortunately needed. Twice.,

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...Read more

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.

This review is from: Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC1296-NY Digital Leather Watch (Watch)
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)
