I found the stock screen picture/face a bit dark, and was initially disappointed especially looking at it indoors or darker rooms.. However if you try a few different pictures/faces you may be surprised. I now use the 'JERSEY' face which looks pretty good in all lighting conditions. I also have the gesture backlight on 'ALL DAY', and it doesn't really make the battery last any less time as it still goes for weeks.
