ArmitronSport Unisex Digital Chronograph Nylon Strap Watch, 45-7004

Once I learned how to set the watchI love it fit well on wrist

This is a great affordable watch that keeps time well and is comfortable at a price under 15 dollars with 330 feet of water resistance , i got this for long camping , kyaking ,fishing trips exc...beacuse not only can it handle the abuse but if it was to get lost banged up or somehow broken im not out a ton of money!

I'm a pretty normal-sized woman (size 14, 5'8", size medium latex gloves, size med-large tshirts) but because of my bone structure I tend to look a bit silly in women's teeny-faced watches. I like a chunky watch- but sometimes a man's watch is a bit TOO chunky. And a women's buckle band is usually either too small or fits on the very last buckle, which isn't secure enough for me. I chose this- with a little trepidation- because it's described as "unisex" and has a Velcro design which makes the fit of the band more customizable.Let's start with the good stuff. The price can't be beat. I'm typically a Casio snob. I love them, from the pricey "Japan exclusive" ones to the mass-produced made in China ones. I haven't had one fail on me yet. But this one was even cheaper than my cheapest Casio. And I can remember my Nana claiming that Armitron was a good, reliable everyday watch band. She knew everything, so this tracks. It was ridiculously easy to set and easy to set the alarm. I had it done in less than five minutes. If you've ever owned another digital watch, you'll be able to figure it out. The display is big and uncluttered. It says the time and date. Nothing extra. I love the bright, retro colors of the watch, and I thought that having a Velcro band would be more comfortable than a plastic band.The problem is that the band isn't nearly long enough. I have a slightly large wrist for a woman- I guess equal to a man's small wrist, between 7.5-8"- and because there is a large rubber label on the end of the strap, that portion of the strap can't be bent into the buckle. I'm actually considering using a seam ripper to take it off for more sizing flexibility, even though I really love the way the yellow and teal "Armitron" label adds to the retro appearance. In the photos, you can see what I mean. There is no way to wear the watch looser than I have it, so if you have a bigger wrist, you're out of luck. I'm hoping that with some time, the band will stretch a little bit and become softer. I prefer a slightly looser watch fit- almost like a bracelet- and this watch looks like it's cutting off my circulation (it's not, it just looks that way). I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a good, basic digital watch at a great price- as long as the watch will fit your wrist.

Cool retro beachy watch. Super tubular velcro closure. Mondo rad water resistance. Tasty color that is awesome to the max.

Needed a watch that was comfortable to wear and easy to read. Didn't care about the aesthetic appeal. This fit the bill and has worked great for the 2 years.

Very happy with purchase.

I collect watches and this is my first Armitron. I'm biased towards Casio but after reading the positive reviews and $14 price tag I decided to give it a try. The biggest negative I've read is the wrist strap isn't long enough, so lets get that out of the way first. I have a 7 inch wrist size and this fits perfectly and it's very comfortable. Judging from the remaining slack and distance from the Velcro and fold back loop, this appears to accommodate a maximum wrist size of 8 inches. Measure your wrist first before complaining about this watch, or any watch you buy for that matter. This watch isn't overly large or thick and I prefer that. The display is large and easy to read at all angles, and the EL backlight is uniform across the dial with all LED segments illuminated the same. The resin case has no imperfections and is very durable. The bezel is very thick resin, I don't think any of my Casio's have one this substantial. Setup is easy and intuitive, I didn't even need the manual, but then again I've been using digital watches for 40 years. I'll assume the water resistance to 330ft is correct, or at least somewhere in that range, but I don't swim or shower with my watches and can't verify that. Accuracy is great, I've only had it for a few days and after initially synching it with WWV it's still spot on at the 60 second mark.If you're in the market for a comfortable, good looking and accurate watch, you can't go wrong with this Armitron, especially at the reduced price. I'm glad I bought this.

Armitron Sport Unisex Digital Chronograph Nylon Strap Watch came quickly but came in a bag with a light cardboard box that was a bit beat up from shipping and was open to the inner box.Pros: It looks decent and setting it was much troubleCons: 1. It is somewhat bulky with the strap fed under the watch.2. The strap is 10.5 inches long but for me that is short. Just stringing the hook side of the velcro strap throughthe rectangular keeper makes the strap tight on my wrist.3. The Armitron logo on the strap adds another 8th inch to the thickness of the band so the band/strap likes tocatch on most anything your wrist comes in contact with.Bottom Line :( It isn't the most comfortable watch to wear.
