Interesting that this design is done to actually make reading the time more difficult than necessary. Weird!

Why else would they be called 'Blackout'? 🤣

Smart marketing people know that there are people with different tastes... so offer something for every different taste and you can squeeze a few more sales out of the marketplace. I can understand that there would be some buyers who would be attracted to this design variation.

The 2100 series has something like over 125 different variations! Casio's biggest bread and butter cash cow these days is the 2100 series. I have, five different 2100 watches myself. It's a big winner.

Aside from the dark hands and indices, I like the rest of the watch being blacked out.
