I have the black and it's a little hard to see the dials, hell it's not easy to pick out the hands after a few drinks. Wish I had bought the white. I suppose the red or orange would be fine for a younger fella. My friends would never let me wear that orange thing around them. I'd be voted off the island! But then again I only usually wear this watch when I'm working in the garage or yard. It's ma super beater.
