I have several LCD watches now with negative displays -- black background with "white" numbers.
Of course, the "white" is really gray, and unfortunately the watches I have are barely legible indoors unless using the backlight. Outdoors in bright sunlight they look marvelous though!
I'm curious if any of the more expensive LCD watches out there with negative displays have a higher display contrast and are therefore more legible in normal indoor lighting situations.
I'm curious about watches such as the Tag Heuer Microtimer, all Ventura models, and Junghans Mega 1000.
Three of the watches that I currently have with negative LCD displays are:
Hamilton "Men In Black" Pulsar "reissue"
DKNY repro of the 1970s Heuer Microtimers (what a cool watch! too bad it doesn't have the LED)
Diesel (not sure of the model number - they make so many)
All are great watches with neat case design and are well built - but are very hard to read. More often than not I find myself grabbing my old 70's Seikos for their legibility.
Any recommendations are much appreciated.
