It’s just the right size
Even though I’m not a big fan of pink I purchased this watch because, for some reason, the color combination was extremely appealing to me. Once it arrived, which was rather quickly, I was beyond pleased. Not only did it look better than I hoped but I loved the shape as well. I’m generally not fond of the square shape but it works quite well with this particular watch. As for the overall size, It’s not too big or too small, it’s just right! I have since purchased 4 more in the colors Red, Black, White/Silver and Teal and they are all very attractive. I’ll probably order most of the other colors that it’s available in as well. The only drawback is that it’s difficult to set. My husband had one heck of a time and was quite vocal about his displeasure, lol.

Nice watch
I love this watch

Excellent
I love the readability of this wristwatch. The backlight is also super cool and easy to operate! The band is wide enough to be comfortable without being ugly. The watch seems durable and is nicely water resistant. On the other hand, it is complicated to set or change the time, or to use the alarm. Because of this, I have simply been using it to tell time and have ignored the other features. My friends ask, “Is that actually a smartwatch?” 🙂 I like how classy this watch is, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Awesome
I have been wanting a simple digital watch that I could read without having to use my reading glasses, the numbers are almost the size of the screen. I love the look of this particular model because it looks like an apple watch so it is modern in design. The time stays on so I don’t have to touch the screen, that’s exactly what I wanted and the numbers are not shinny. I think it is annoying to have to touch the screen to see the time because my other hand is not always free. It is very comfortable on my wrist. The light is beautiful and perfectly bright when I have used it in the middle of the night. I got a phenomenal deal on it because I bought it from the Amazon warehouse. Check for the fine print under the description of your item and sometimes they list ‘used’ prices that are way way cheaper simply because they are missing the original box. I paid less than 1/2 the price it was at the department stores. I have gotten so many compliments on it!!! I am very happy with my new watch.

Love armitron, but scratches easily..
I’ve been wearing armitron watches for 10+ years and they take a LOT of abuse in my career field. I did notice though that these square ones in particular do get scratched pretty easily. I still wear it though! I do wish however, that the date was displayed on the screen rather than having to click a button to view it. Overall, I love these watches!

I threw this in the trash where it belongs
It looks like buying this watch is a gamble. Mine arrived with a wristband reeking of cheap perfume, so I’m guessing it had already been returned once by another purchaser. I should have followed suit and returned it on day one, but decided instead to try to work with it. Okay. First, carefully following the enclosed instruction sheet, I tried to remove the band, to see whether soaking the band in vinegar might not get some of the perfume out. The instruction sheet, however, was incorrect: the band is definitely not removable. So, thinking it unwise to soak the watch itself in vinegar, I put both watch and band out in the sun for a week or two, hoping that the disgusting candy stench would dissipate. One day, while I was out there sniffing to see if any progress was being made, I noticed that the display was off (for my time zone) by exactly three hours. So, I fetched the instruction sheet and proceeded to try to reset the date and time. After a couple of hours of trying, off and on, to follow the cryptic instructions, it became painfully (literally painful: I gave up trying just moment before my fingertips started to bleed from alternately pressing and holding-in, as directed, buttons A, B, or C) obvious that instruction sheet was wrong again. I should have heeded those reviewers who had posted warnings about the impossibility of setting the time and date on this thing, as should you. I finally threw this watch in the trash because, believing (from the smell) that it had already been returned, once, by a previous customer, I figured that if I returned it, too, the seller might just resell it to a third customer. I decided to spare that third party the frustration and pain and to do the right thing.

Overall decent
Well it’s not my favorite watch. I bought as a replacement to another Armitron one I loved, and overall it has served me very well. It’s not easy to read, but it’s not terrible. My biggest complaint is the extra band piece NEVER stays attached with the little band that is supposed to keep it in place. Something about the silicone material (I very much like the material!) makes it constantly slip out of place, and it is oh-so-annoying! I ended up just cutting the extra band short so it would stop flailing around all the time. It also scratches pretty easily, but is still readable. The water resistance is excellent. I wear it 24/7 and shower and swim with it.

Inexpensive and Works Great!
I ordered this for my wife when she forgot her watch before leaving for a business trip. She received it while away and loved the large numbers and easy-to-use functions. There are a lot of color choices for this watch; suit your own style. But for the price of this watch, it’s worth the purchase if you are in need of a somewhat stylish, digital, inexpensive, perfectly functional and user-friendly watch. Grab one, especially if you find them discounted!
