I think I figured it out, why I'm just not feeling this watch. This is the main experience I get from wearing the NTTD:
It's so tough to see anything on the dial as the crystal is so reflective. This problem is exacerbated by the drab, dull colors of the lume and markers.
Plexi crystal is great, military-themed drab colors are great. But when you put them together you get a mirror :/
Only in direct light, particularly sunlight, is the watch readable at a quick glance.
