Great price for a high quality watch
I love this watch. Itâs awesome that it uses stainless steel for every aspect of it. The weight of it feels nice. Not too heavy, not too light. And the size is perfect. Not to large, not too small. Just right for people like myself with smaller wrists.The digital LED display looks great in darker settings, but can be a little hard to see in brighter settings.The only things that I would possibly like to see a change in, if possible would be to not have the â:â symbol flash when you press the button to check the time. Personally, I think it would look a little better if it stayed solid without flashing. Also, if possible, maybe design wise, it might look a little better or more classic if the digital numbers were a bit smaller, similar to the original Pulsars.Anyway, overall, very pleased with this watch and think it looks great!

Everywhere I go, people ask, âIs that vintage?â
The Armitron Sport Retro Digital Bracelet Watch is a certified hipster magnet. Strap this beauty on, and suddenly everyone at the coffee shop wants to know where you got it. Itâs like wearing a piece of retro street cred on your wrist, complete with that perfect âI found this in a vintage shop, but actually, I got it on Amazonâ vibe.The shiny metal bracelet screams old-school cool, while the digital display is simple yet oddly satisfying. It doesnât have fancy features like heart rate tracking or notifications, but who cares? This watch is here to make a statement, not do your taxes. Plus, it’s lightweight and comfortable, so you can look effortlessly cool without feeling weighed down.Everywhere I go, people ask, âIs that vintage?â or hit me with, âThatâs so coolâwhereâd you get it?â Honestly, the compliments alone make it worth the price. If youâre looking for an affordable way to boost your style and make strangers a little jealous, this Armitron is your new best friend.

Great retro timepiece for any size wrist
The “Save with Used – Like New” example I purchased did not come with the original packaging as advertised, and the packaging used did not inspire confidence. However, the watch did arrive with no visible flaws and functioning properly, so I’m satisfied.The watch itself is a great retro timepiece packed with nostalgic style. This updated version features larger, brighter numerals than its predecessor, so while it may not be completely faithful to the original, it is much easier to read. The case construction feels solid, and the sliding carriage on the slim bracelet allows a precise customized fit. The 37mm case size and very short lug-to-lug length means this watch wears well on a wide variety of wrist sizes. If you’re a fan of digital watches, you’ll be more than happy with this in your collection.

Pretty slick looking and affordable
Lightweight and looks awesome. I like that the face is black until you hit the button – got the black version with red numbers bc it reminded me of my clock/radio from when I was a kid. An absolute steal on a cool watch and it’s not even a Casio 😉

exactly as advertised
simple, straightforward and tons of fun!I opted for the green display because the nostalgia of my childhood alarm clocks, and also the Matrix vibes from the good old days lolclasp is easy to adjust and slide around (have a micro flathead or toothpick handy!)bracelet is super light but proportions well with the steel case; for under $32 itâs very well worth it and a nice to look at!

Almost, but, not quite, retro magicâ¦
In 1976, my birthday fell on a Sunday and I had to wait 18 interminable hours for Monday morning to arrive so my uncle could drive me to G. Fox and Co. in Hartford where I could spend my birthday money on the greatest thing ever. A Texas instrumentâs Model 500 LED digital watch! Sure, it only showed the time for three seconds after one pushed the button on the right side, and sure it took two batteries that only lasted a few months (8 if you were lucky), and, sure, it had no advanced features like a stop watch, a countdown timer, or the ability to tell you the time on Guam, but it was a modern Marvell! The batteries in my watch didnât last three months because I wore them out staring at the red glow of the light emitting diodes over and over. The Armitron Griffy is supposed to help you recapture that wide-eyed magic. It does thatâ¦sort of.Donât misunderstand me, this is a fine watch especially considering the cost. It is comfortable, durable, has a better-than-average water resistance rating for a watch of itâs kind, and it is attractive. But it misses the retro mark it is aiming for by being much better than the watch it is celebrating. I enclosed two photos of the Armitron LED digital watch, one from 2022 and one from the late seventies. The modern watch (the Griffy) has a display so bright I failed to snap a picture of it that didnât show a halo around the numbers. Whereas, the original had the glowing, wire-frame, look that cast a glow on the circuitry in the background masked by the dark red acrylic of the crystal. As far as I can tell, both of these watches accomplish the same thing, accurate time keeping and the ability to showcase the seconds and the date after pressing the one button in a specific sequence but the new watch does this with far too much spit and polish.I have two other retro watches, a Timex LCA and a Casio Databank, and they do exactly what their progenitors did. In fact, the light on these watches is, in both cases, a rather weak-kneed LED bulb that is barely capable of lighting up half the screen after the sun goes down. The Casio features the ability to enter up to 25 phone numbers or appointments in a way , that in the face of what my smartphone can do, is quaint. And the Timex has a digital/analog display that was cutting edge and fashionable when Roger Moore wore it (his was actually a Seiko) in the movie âOctopussyâ in 1983.When compared to the science-fiction like wonders of the 21st century, these watches are trinkets not unlike those one finds in a gum ball machine. But that is the essence of nostalgia. At least for me. So, in conclusion, this watch will look good on your wrist and it will give you time accurate to the second in blazing LED glory, and do it all for less than $40. There is retro magic here, itâs just not that strong.

Very Retro Cool and Tells Time
Very Retro Cool and well made for a great price, I have other $$$ watches, but I enjoy wearing watches that just tell time, feels good, and you don’t have to worry someone is going to rob you or a few scratches is cool, has a great weight to it like you are wearing a quality piece, probably will buy an extra and take the battery out save it for +15 years and bust it out for super retro piece when im and older fart

by M. Remple
As a watch collector, this is one watch that I had to have in my collection! What’s not to like? It tells the time, looks cool, and has retro charm!
by Gerry
Without any doubt this is the best retro watch for your money. Any negatives about this watch is quickly forgotten by the coolness of it. The led light is big and bright and very easy to set the time.Itâs a little bit on the smaller side but actually wears on the wrist a little bigger. I purchased the Gold and the Silver and love them both.I can only hope that Armitron comes out with a bigger version of this watch. If youâre looking for an affordable retro digital watch thatâs super cool this is it.Thanks,G
