Two words of advice - which I had read in advance but forged ahead anyway: 1) on the all black watches, it can be difficult to see the display against the black backdrop. The all black version looks nice, but for practical use in hindsight I would have bought one with a light watch face, and 2) the alarm is very quiet - used this watch on the JMT this year and used the alarm a couple times when I wanted an early start. Was going for half hour a couple mirnings before I finally heard it.

Langostinoi had an all black for five years. Really didn't have a problem with seeing the display myself. I am sure it is not as pronounced as the white background. But then again it's targeted for those of us who want to be tacticool. Going to go with that model again. Just wish they lasted longer. One thing people should be aware of is Suunto's conviluted interface. If you do not regularly use it you will forget it. The band is a POS and will break after 3-4 years. Replacenents are $30-40 dollars. You can replace the battery on your own which is a breath of fresh air. Suunto advises replaceing the gasket at the sametime. But I never really needed to.

ChicagoWayTo each his own - to see this watch in any sort of dim lighting you need to have the "display highlight" button memorised - but as long as you don't mind that it has plenty of tacti-cool going for it.
