My close in vision is deteriorating but I generally do not carry reading glasses. This product makes it possible for me to read fine print on products that before I could not read. I wear it everywhere.
One thing I didn't like is the face is not backlit. I found that if you turn on the light and cup your hand around it you can read the watch in the dark.
I often buy my husband gifts and he always thanks me but often they are never used. This gift he LOVES!!! He uses it all the time. His friends love it!
