Midsize Sports Watch with 100-Hour Stopwatch, 99-Lap Counter, 100-Hour Countdown Timer, Dual Time, Daily Alarm, Hourly Signal, Electro-Luminescent Backlight, 100 Meter Water Resistance, Fabric Strap

The H2Y241's INDIGLO backlight has an available Night-Mode^® feature. Normally, you light the backlight for 3 seconds by pressing the INDIGLO button. With the Night-Mode feature active, however, pressing any button (regardless of mode or function) lights the backlight for 3 seconds. Once activated, the Night-Mode feature remains active for 8 hours unless it is manually deactivated prior to that time.

Not only does the H2Y241 have an INDIGLO backlight for nighttime viewing, it also has an All Day INDIGLO display. If you look at the H2Y241's LCD panel at an angle, the background appears to be almost an olive green color. However, when you angle the watch face toward light as you view it, the LCD panel background becomes an iridescent shiny bright green that almost seems to be luminescent. Compared to a conventional LCD panel, the All Day INDIGLO display provides significantly easier viewing, with noticeably greater contrast between the displayed information and the background.

Important: I tried this watch on, and I'd say that it will comfortably fit wrist sizes up to just over 7 inches.
