Not that bright
It's not as bright as advertized or, at least, compared to lights made by another company. It did not hold up during international shipping. Plastic screws hold the defuser panel to the light frame. Three of four screws lost their heads during shipping.

A watch with everything
This is a beautiful complication watch that does day, date, month, and phases of the moon. There is a separate button to set each (use a ball-point pen). Unfortunately, which button sets which isn't really intuitive. I tended to change the date when I was trying to adjust the moon phase. Stem pulls out to adjust time. The layout of the watch face works well. I never need to second-guess what a number or hand is showing. The moon phase is a true moon phase that gradually changes from full moon to new moon back to full moon over a reported 29 days. I've not had the watch for a full lunar month, so I cannot say how accurate the moon phase is. From my reading, most complication watches need the moon phase reset about every 2 years, so one month is probably not long enough to tell. Watch is automatic. The self-wind is a little noisy, but makes a pleasant jingle. Watch has kept very good time. Each evening, I compare the time to my cell phone: the time has been the same or 3-5 seconds fast. Once, it was about 15 seconds fast. My daily activity, unfortunately low (walking 2000-15000 steps per day), has been enough to keep the watch going. I've not wound it since I started wearing it. I do not wear it when sleeping. Specifications as listed are accurate for weight and size. Disadvantages are the sizes of day, date, month, and moon phase. Since I'm at the age where reading glasses are pretty much required, I must admit I have trouble reading these without the reading glasses. The dark blue hands on the white background make the time easy to read. The color of the hands and numbers changes based on how the light hits from black to a brilliant blue that's very pretty. Hour and minute hands glow in the dark. Glow-in-the-dark dots mark the hours. The glow-in-the-dark is bright enough to be distinguished in dim light. Of course, they're clear in the dark. I've not paid attention to how long this function lasts. Water resistance is reported as 5 atm. Watch has done well with being rinsed off in cool water, including splashes of warm water from washing dishes and the dog. I've not submerged it or worn it during a shower, but I have worn it walking in the rain, including some heavy, but brief, downpours. I paid extra for an epos metal band that works well enough, but the right half of the clasp tends to come unhooked at inopportune times. Despite the problems, I'm satisfied with my purchase
