This is a very good looking watch, mine has a dark face, black rubber strap and white surround and five, round chrome buttons. The surround has some small text on it, but to be honest, its too small to read and is for show only. The face is larger than many sports watches, but is very discrete, and can be set to a dark backlight, so you'd be pushed to know it was an HRM. I happily wear it even on formal occasions.
Its very comortable to wear - the watch is very light, and the rubber strap is soft and pliant - needs tightening a notch before a run though. The heart rate strap is very comfortable and is better made than others I've owned, (Timex and Oregon). The shiny screen is very scratch resistant
Dislikes
Battery life on my particular watch hasn't been great, mine might be odd but I've used four batteries in a year - keep your warranty, especially on a watch that cost £95 (shop around though prices vary. and are dropping for this model since the T2 and T3 were made more widely available). The buttons are a little small to operate mid run (I rarely use the lap function), they were also stiff to use at first, though they did become more sensitive over time.
