The All Black is ‘just…’ a new color scheme in the existing Sunnto Elementum Terra line. The all-black casing and negative display make for a stealthy (Stargate ;)) look, while retaining all the functionality of the Terra clan. I have always been tempted by Suunto’s luxury line of Elementum Terra watches but to be honest

I really like watches, especially unusual ones. The Phosphor Appear Black Crystal Watch with Black Gloss Leather Strap is certainly unusual. It reminds me of eInk screens in a way.
