While not too bad in daylight there is a lot of glare at certain angles. At night, with no lume, it disappears from your wrist. But I think it looks cool and it is a presence on the wrist.

A quick AI search shows between 150 and 500 active, major watch manufactures with that numbers going into the thousands when you include microbrands. Watch models are in the tens of thousands active and millions in existence. Your thoughts on why that is?

the 'Whitman' almost seems stenciled on

If it is a Landeron 48 movement, I know it was put in many different branded watches.
Any more information you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
