Armitron Sport Unisex Digital Chronograph Silicone Strap Watch 40 8423

Great waterproof watch, which I wear to the pool. It still is working after 2 pool seasons and hope to wear it for a 3rd pool season next year. Great value for money and durability. Get lots of compliments (very stylish, too). Read more

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. Read more

I could've sworn that Armitron was a well-known watch brand, perhaps only even in my youth, but this watch seems to be of the so-cheap-it's-practically-disposable variety you tend to find littering Amazon, especially when it comes to setting it. A suggestion for anyone buying one of these watches: KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS. There's absolutely nothing intuitive about setting the time or date, the alarm, the various other settings, etc. Aside from the fact that none of the buttons you press for anything make any sort of sense, they've added an additional layer of stress to the act of setting the time and date on this watch in the form of the seconds counter. You see, the seconds counter never stops. You can reset it to zero with the press of a button when you're setting the time, but when you reset it to zero impacts whether it pushes the minutes forward. This is especially maddening because you set the minutes BEFORE you set the hour, and taking too long to reset the seconds so its doesn't push the minutes ahead by one is really frustrating. It wouldn't be so bad if the buttons weren't kind of tricky to press, but I kind of want that to be the case, as I don't want this watch doing anything fancy while I'm wearing it. I really just want it to show the time. It'd be nice if it showed the date all the time, as it's kind of tricky pressing the upper right-hand button to see the date on command. Despite my frustration in setting this watch, I do really like the watch. It's nice and big, and it's easy to read. I'm not a huge fan of how it looks when it lights up, as it basically becomes harder to read if there's any light around whatsoever, but it's fine for when it's really dark out. Recommended as long as you can stomach setting it. Read more

The MAIN reason i wanted to try this watch is because all my previous watches, the wristband would always break. I have so many working watches that i can't use because I can't wear them. This one, after years, still has not broken! Great product for a great price! Instructions will help set up the watch with no problem. Read more

Let's talks pros first: looks great, feels super comfortable, seems to build to last, and has the functions you'll need. Cons: you won't be able to read it easily, which is a huge disadvantage when you are multitasking for example. A simple example, when I'm driving. I often have to look twice OR find a certain angle where I can read it properly. The night light is a plus, but do you really need to be using the night light even on the day to read it properly? Other than that, this would be a great gift. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

Lovely watch. Photo does not do it justice. Read more
