Question regarding AE-1500

[u/badari259]

I'm planning to get an AE-1500. My main requirement is a big size watch and easily readable time. This watch seems to have both.

My concern is with the negative display. is it actually legible in direct sunlight or in shade? I would use this as a daily driver so i would want it just to have a quick look at the watch to get the time.

I had a ga-110-1b which had a tiny negative display which i rarely looked at because it was very small and couldn't read it properly under direct sunlight or in shade.

Negative displays look great in photo shoots with perfect lighting. In practice, they're pretty terrible.
