Best Watch In Its Price Range, No Regrets
I’ve had this watch for half a year and have had no complaints. It’s comfortable, easy to read, has a lot of utility (ex. It keeps the date and day of week), adjustable band, good battery etc. It does all these things while looking like a more expensive watch, even though it’s inexpensive.I’ve owned many watches in this price range, so from experience, I have to say this is the best watch in its category. Unless the quality goes down or the price shoots up, there’s no better daily watch for less than $20.

This is a banger and I know bangers
Great watch! It feels high quality and has a lot a everything a simpleton like me will ever need in a watch. The Instructions are very easy to understand so I could set alarms and 24 hour format with ease. It fits nicely and has good readability in direct sunlight.

Not bad.
The watch is very comfortable. It's not easy to set without the instructions which were not included with the watch. The instructions are not available online so you need to send them an email and they will get back to you.

NICE!!!!!!
Took only a couple of days for the watch to arrive. I have had it on for a few hours and still find myself looking at it with a smile. I may just order a second one. I will say that this will not ship with instructions so I will share what I have found. No need to reinvent the wheel. Check notes below.* Look at your watch as if it were a clock face, even though it may be a digital. Most Armitron watches have four buttons around the perimeter of the watch. There will be a button at the 2 o'clock position; this will be button "A." There will also be a button at the 4 o'clock position. Consider this button "B." On the opposite side will be button "C" at the 8 o'clock position and button "D" at 10 o'clock. The first three bullets are in reference to time.* Press the "D" button until the numbers begin to flash on your digital watch. Press and hold the "D" button again until the seconds begin to flash by themselves. Press the "B" button to advance the seconds. You may hold down the button in order to cycle through the numbers faster.* Hold down the "A" button in order to move on to setting the Armitron minutes. Once they begin flashing, press the "B" button just like you did to adjust the seconds. Press the "A" button one more time, and you will see the hours flash on your watch face. Hold down the "B" button and cycle through, making sure the a.m. and p.m. is correct.* Change the date on your Armitron watch by once again pressing the "A" button. This should cause your date to blink. Press the "B" button to change the days.* Cycle through the months by pressing the "A" button one final time and holding down the "B" button.July 6 2013 I took this watch with me to a major water park. Spent all day in the water. I bumped the watch several times on the bottom of pools, and against river walls. Did not have one problem with watch. When I got home, I was surprised to see no scratches. This is one tough watch.

Bought A Second One
I like this watch. I bought one on a hunch specifically for work versus a G-Shock. I would still have the first one except I accidentally ran it over with my car after about a year of having it. That's the only thing that beat it so far. I've had the second one just over a year and it's been through a lot, still runs like a champ.Quite user friendly. The watch itself is quite light in weight. I would not use this as a complete sports watch though, I would call it an active type of watch, for work, riding a bike or hiking, something that wouldn't require free wrist motion or else it will get in the way, as will most wrist watches. The alarms/chimes are loud enough for me, can wake me up and can hear pretty good in loud environments. I have taken the watch down to 15 feet of water and no foggy bezel. The compass is not functional so it is primarily a decoration but it can give you a general idea I guess if you're good with direction. There is a dummy button for you to grasp when settings. The Armitron website does not have exact instructions for this model watch so keep the instructions you get or you will have some trouble as some of there watches come with more and fewer options.For the price you can't go wrong but you shouldn't expect a $100 watch either. This is a great all around watch to have when you don't want to mess up your good watch but still want it to look attractive. As with anything, there are lemons, you could spend $10,000 on a watch and by chance it's faulty, that's a risk you take with anything you purchase.Pros:- Lightweight- Looks great- Good display and lighting- Waterproof- Day/Weekday display- Alarm/Chimes- Dummy button for grasping when changing settings- 2 Time Zone Options- Timer/Stopwatch/Alarm capabilities- 12/24 hour modes- Comfortable bandCons:- Not really a sports watch, just looks sporty- User can tell it's cheaper design- Non-functional Compass
