Are the display screens well lighted and easy to read?

That depends a little on the individual, I guess, but I'm well past my prime, and I can read it. I would not call the screens "well lighted." The lettering is easy to read. I wouldn't mind if they were a little brighter. The background is green, as in the picture, and the lettering is black. My eyesight is not as good as it once was.

The screens are back lite with a light green screen with black printing, just like the product pictured. I find them easy to read. My wife and I are very pleased with the phones, great range and battery life. We also use the paging system to talk to each other from different floors of our home.

Sorry no. Unit is reasonably easy to learn without them. I gave up on mine for other reasons. Screen was hard to read on sunny days and on a motorcycle that is a necessity. Good luck.

I don't have too much of an issue seeing the screen, unless you are pedaling with the lights out. I usually use one of the pre-programmed workouts and watch TV or listen to music while riding. But If I want to check stats the screen is visable enough.

The screen is not backlit per se. However, the screen has a reflective surface of some kind and a large digital display making it easy to read in low light.

Yes. Brighter colors are easier to read, but since the display characters are large, darker colors are visible as well.

The display has a light blue background with black letters and is very easy to read even in sun light. I use it in a convertible and when the top is down and with bright sunlight, the display is very easy to read.

Yes - I have found it depends on the color you choose. Overall I have found a few color combinations that allow me to see the display in daylight. I love this unit! It has everything and is well designed. My only complaint is the songs from radio are not displayed (title/artist)

I had no problems seeing the display from different angles. Also there is the option to configure the intensity of it.

The screen is quite easy to read - easier than a typical book. We have had a number of them over the years, and use them every day - for our version of Scrabble, at the computer, while reading. They have lasted various lengths of time depending on how we care for them. We find they need to be kept out of the heat, and not be jostled, so take especially good care of them when traveling. The way they 'go bad' is that the screen eventually develops blank lines through the words. If anyone knows how to prevent or correct this problem, please let us know.

The numbers aren't overly large. I wear reading glasses and have no problem seeing them. Because they are stainless, you can tilt them to the light and make the numbers out.

Yes. The buttons are clearly marked and visible. They do not glow in the dark, but are back lit. My only complaint is that the screen does not reflect glare well.

It has a good display. I think it will be fine in bright sunlight, BUT you must aim it at your face. The best thing is it has a big display whick makes things a lot easier. -Migs

Yes, the display itself is rather bright. The projected image on the windshield can be a little hard to see, without the film, only when heading directly into the sun. I thought the film might be distracting, but if you put it in the lower part of the windshield, below the direct line of sight, you shouldn't really notice it and it does make the numbers easier to read on a bright day

No, the screen isn't backlit, and there is no way to make it light up, at least as far as I can tell. The numbers are kind of dim; I think people with poor eyesight would have a problem reading them. I got this stopwatch because it was the least expensive and simplest I could find, but it doesn't have the niceties of a more expensive one. It suits my needs, but you might want to look for something better. Good luck!

Yes, adjustable brightness settings allow you to read the screen in bright sunlight. At the max setting, it is more than clear enough for easy reading.

I find them easy to read in good lighting, even with my glasses off. The dimmer the light, though, the harder to read.

The screen is definitely glossy and has a reflective surface. It is not a matte screen (like the Kindle Paperwhite--for example--has) and I can see reflections clearly in it. However, the display is sharp and readable to me. On average, I spend 3 or 4 hours a day looking at the screen and the reflectiveness does not bother me.
