This watch is so much more than I expected
I love watches. Let me just put that out there to start. I have quite a few, though I'd consider my collection very "budget friendly". I have some nicer watches I've received as gifts, but generally I like to stay around the $100 mark. Less if I can help it.I usually (always) gravitate towards G shocks, and have quite a few of those, but I wanted something, different. I feel like I'm getting bored of G shocks, especially for the money. I'll be honest with you- nothing I do in my daily activities warrants needing anything "shock proof". I'm laid up with a bad back as we speak, so unless I stumble limping to the refrigerator and miraculously bash my wrist against the wall, I'll probably make it just fine with a standard watch.Don't get me wrong, I love em and have daily driven one for the past 6+ years. They make many cool styles and colors, I just don't need the ruggedness that brings up the price tag.Which finally brings me to this little beauty by Armitron. Never have I ever even considered this brand, until the other day I was watching a Yankees game, live on Prime (well played Amazon), and they ran a commercial stating that Armitron has been a sponsor to the Yankees since.....I dont remember when..... not important....but here we are!I really wanted a fun watch with some color for the summer, but again, wasn't feeling G shock prices for a colorful watch I may or may not wear more than once.Well let me tell you, I was very pleasantly surprised! You know how when you hold a cheap watch, you just know? Well I didn't get that vibe from this watch. I've received a fugazi G shock once and could instantly feel the difference. This watch, at a very modest $22 bucks, doesn't even feel like that did. I put it on right out of the box, and it just felt right. It's comfortable, the band is pliable but doesn't have sharp plasticy edges....it's just nice!I can't speak for accuracy or if it's going to hold up to my vigorous activities of laying on the couch, but only time will tell.**I've read so many watch reviews and I promised myself I'd never make that tacky pun, and yet I couldn't help myself. I suck.If you made it this far in the review, you owe it to yourself to just buy it now. Like I said, I've been laid up on my back staring at the ceiling and window shopping for cheap watches, so I feel like I've seen them all.Admittedly I was a little worried on the yellow, but it has a touch of orange in it so it's not AS bright as you might be thinking, but still a statement piece for sure.As for functions, I have no clue. I haven't used a function on any of my watches since.....ever. I don't wanna be the nerd beeping through functions on my digital watch. "Hold on *beep* *beep* just looking for the timer, *beep* woops one too many, *beep* *beep*...." I'm good on all that. We have smart phones for a reason. Which, by the way, it does beep at every button press and according to reviews, I don't think it can be silenced. As long as the time and date are displayed, I'm golden. Maybe I should start using functions....I can use the stopwatch to see how long it takes me to get from the couch to the bathroom on my knees and try to improve my times. Hmph.Oh, and the backlight is pretty decent, too! Unlike similar watches that I discussed earlier whose lights are TERRIBLE. Hundred dollar watch and the light is a measily little bulb that barely does anything. Really Casio? It's 2021 guys. Time to step it up. This one though is cool as heck. The numbers all light up in blue and easy to read, almost reminiscent of the Timex Indiglos, and that just makes me happy.Buy it. You'll like it./fin

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023
This is a nice armitron watch. It was purchased from amazons clearance category because it was a return and the outside box was damaged. The price was EXCELLENT! Love a deal! The caveat with this purchase was it could still be returned if there was any problem even though it was bought on clearance at a super discount. It exceeded expectations. All packing material incl tags, instructions, warranty were present. Like I stated earlier, just the box was rough. It was easy to set as I own several of these types of watches(casio, gshock, timex). It's very easy to read and looks great. I like the size. It's substantial and easily noticeable. I cannot comment on water resistance as I don't normally wear a watch when showering or swimming. The only time it may get wet is day to day hand washing or inclement weather, which shouldnt be a concern. Absolutely awesome watch. 😊

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023
I needed a watch to keep track of time while snorkeling. The watch was cheaper than replacing the battery in my dive watches. And I needed something right away. I was pleasantly surprised by how great it looks. It looks much better than the price tag woulg suggest. I got many compliments and questions about it. It is a very nice looking watch. It is lighter than expected based on how sturdy it looks. But I like it. I will continue using it on trips and for snorkeling. There are a couple of features that came in really handy. The first is the ability to have two time zones. The second is the light. It is very clear and bright.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing watch!
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023
Absolutely durable, I've had it for well over a year. Daily use, shower with, gym, walking etc. The only unfortunate thing is that the band has worn out, not dirty as I've tried EVERYTHING to clean just worn out to black. The watch has been working all the time, I am quite impressed. Can't find a band for it anywhere and I'd hate to toss it because it works fabulously!
The color is so bright and nice too. Very easy to read. I want them in all colors BUT I need to find bands
I recommend 100%
Gave 4 starts due to the band

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch at a great price
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021
Armitron is becoming my favorite everyday wear timepiece. I’ve had a couple of them in the past and always thought they were inexpensive to use on trips or weekends on the lake. However the last 2 that I’ve purchased, including this one, have me looking at them differently. They are still inexpensive but I use these 2 (in rotation) as my everyday wear watches because I like the look and styles.

I like that the numbers for all functions are visible and easy to read on this watch. I can see everything even without my glasses. The fact that it’s water proof allows me to wear it in the shower, etc. not having to worry about taking it off. I have the blue/black/silver and I think it has an understated style that I really like. The backlight also does a great job of illuminating the face in low-light/dark environments.

Overall, I’m very happy with the watch and enjoy wearing it each day.
