Great value
This colorful, comfortable watch keeps me in the know: time, date, day of week, so I think it’s a great value. Yes, as other said, it’s a bit of a pain to program, but I found a youtube video on this exact product. Once it’s demonstrated, you’ll understand the logic.However, let me share one thing that is not mentioned in the manual or the video: if you don’t make a change to the time, then it will not proceed to the date. Therefore, if you do not need to change the time (but you do want to change the date), just PRETEND to change the time (let it return to the original time) and then you’ll be allowed to continue on to the date.Otherwise everything is covered in the manual and/or the video.

Great for what it is, but almost zero waterproof
I love super simple, basic high visibility digital watch with a large face, but slim profile for factor. Ideally, with Indiglo type backlight, in cool vibrant colors and waterproof good enough for casual water sports.My favorite watch for decades was Timex Ironman Sleek 50, which had similar slim form factor & came in some cool colors, were $50 ish, and would last 5-8 yrs for me. Unfortunately they stopped making them.These Armitrons almost fit the bill. Form factor and looks, and band are perfect. The settings user interface is a nightmare, super frustrating. But the main problem is that these are completely not waterproof, even though they claim 165 ft. Do OK for splashing and showers, but mine died within 15 min of its first session casual surfing in salt water.Disappointing, but at least they are so cheap they can be considered disposable. Maybe I had a lemon, trying another one⦠but also still searching for a better animalâ¦

Favorite.
Favorite watch — easy to read, has an alarm, unobtrusive backlight and stopwatch. Perfect for people who want function but not distraction. Great for running, waking up, telling time in the dark and generally arriving on time to things if you are easily distractable hehe. The light blue with light pink case is really lovely. Easy to use if you read the manual. This is my second version of the same watch after my last one was stolen along with my backpack, so hopefully someone else is also enjoying one now! Among other things I too, once enjoyed haha. *Sigh* Lovely! Thank you.

Too Dim To Read Time – To Complex to Set – A Total Waste of Time
What a disappointment. Could any watch really be this bad? Perhaps I got a defective watch. But if the watch I purchased is not defective then it is a totally useless and nonfunctional. I found, as many reviewers have noted before me, that the face of this watch is just to dark, the numbers too dim. It is nearly impossible to read in the dark and normal room light. Button for “light” did little to improve the view. In addition to straining the eye, I simply could not set the watch, even with the help from family members. Was I setting the time or the alarm? I don’t know. The instructions were NO help. The buttons did not do what they were supposed to. Trial and error to figure this thing out, if that is possible, is just to hard and too time consuming to be worth the effort. Even if I was able to set this thing, I could barely read it anyway, even if I had the time set it right. So So Bad. The instructions are frustrating and not at all helpful and are more likely to induce headaches and a learning disability. I cannot wait to get this horrible thing out of my life. A cheap watch that is a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. I think the band might be OK but I HATE THIS WATCH. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Very stylish, functional watch, but inaccurate
This watch has a very appealing minimalist, sleek look to it. Some reviews have criticized the subdued display appearance, but I actually like it. Also, unlike some of the other reviews, I didn’t find the functionality to be very complicated. The buttons are positions slightly towards the underside of the watch and are a little difficult to reach, but the advantage to this is that the buttons aren’t easily pushed by bumping against something or clothing. I also like the little tab under the sleeve for the wristband, which neatly positions the sleeve over the wristband.However, the primary function of a watch is to accurately keep time, and the accuracy of this watch is pretty poor. On average, the watch loses about 1 second per day. I have owned a few Armitron Instalite Sport watches, and they have been much more accurate compared to this watch. The instruction manual says that the watch can become slow if the battery is low, so I also purchased the same model watch from another store to compare them, and it has the same problem. It loses about 1 second per day. This seems to be a design flaw with the watch.

WATCH
FANTASTIC AND VERY BEAUTY
by S. Scadron Wattles
Had to get used to it. Excellent value
The watch display is more subtle than I’m used to, so initially I thought it was not readable enough in daytime (due to the black background), and that the pushbutton night display was too brief. I’ve had it several days now, and I like the simplicity, as well as the solid feel of both watch and crystal, and the comfort and style of the silicon strap. It reads well, and I do like the way the night display fades. I’ve got a sturdy, more well-featured digital watch that I use for sailing: it has the bells and whistles (e.g., a countdown timer with an alarm) I need for that task. This is my land watch.

Tiene buen diseño, es resistente al agua, tiene las funcionas básicas: alarma, cronómetro, luz, temporizador, calendario, e indicador de cada hora. Los números tienen buen tamaño. La marca tiene un prestigio ganado a lo largo de varias décadas, conozco Armitron desde hace 40 años y nunca ha fallado.

I like color.,size

For the price I can’t complain, note you can’t replace the band. The face stretches easily, display could be brighter, but again, for the price, its great
