ArmitronUnisex Digital Chronograph Nylon Strap Watch, 45-7004

My son has Autism and the features this watch offers made it very appealing it is easy to use and he can put it in himself it has a bright up function in the sun and one for when it’s darker low light it’s not to heavy on the wrist and the numbers and letters are very clear and easy to read. I love how easy this is to set the buttons are clear and easy set out, it offers both military time and standard digital time. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

This looks rugged and fits my write comfortably, I wear a lot of black, so this matches my outfits and its very lightweight--hardly notice it and the functionality is great even though I hardly use most of it. I've used this while working on cars, building sheds, etc...it can handle being knocked around just fine, no scratches on it. Awesome value for your money here.
