ArmitronSport Unisex Digital Chronograph Nylon Strap Watch, 45-7004

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.

This is one great watch. Because of its low price, I thought it might be cheap or silly looking, but I figured at this price, I'd try it. It's neither. I own a couple of dozen watches, including some close to high-end watches. This is now one of my favorite watches.It's comfortable to wear due to its light weight and velcro strap. With other watchbands you have only limited adjustments. I always find one hole too tight and the next one too loose. With this watch band, it's infinitely adjustable so it fits perfectly.And, unlike a lot of my watches, it's not only not heavy, it's positively lightweight. I barely even know its there. Compare that with some enormous watches that feel like tuna fish cans strapped to my wrist. I often wear watches that are 40mm wide or more, but this is one step smaller than that, and I'd forgotten how much more pleasant it is to wear a medium-sized watch.The dial is completely legible even at a moderate angle (not an extreme angle, though, since it's digital). It shows the time, the day of the week, and the date. Plus the seconds. Adjustment requires using the little booklet that came with it, but I think I almost have it memorized by now. It's similar to a Casio but a little more streamlined and just a little less "tech-y" looking. It looks rugged and purposeful, not silly at all. Some of my Casios make me look like a computer science major, and I definitely don't want that.It also has a light if you need it -- and maybe some other things I haven't discovered yet.And the price! Holy smokes! Where can you get a great watch that works well and is this lightweight and comfortable for this low a price? Not often. If you need a good, solid, reliable, comfortable, and good-looking watch, here it is.

This bargain watch works great as a simple timepiece and is comfortable to wear. The Velcro material facing outwards overlaps the outer strap, attaching itself to long sleeved clothing and tearing out tiny bits of fabric. With repeated wearings, this causes excessive wear on soft cuffs such as cotton material. Good for wearing with strong, smooth polyester or similar clothing, or short sleeves.

Good watch, love velcro straps. I have always hated metal or plastic straps. The velcro strap is a bit "bulky" but it will wear in over time.

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.

The media could not be loaded. My key reasons for purchasing the Armitron MD0699 watch are sports related.1. It has a 300 Feet Water Depth Resistance2. It has excellent side view visibility3. A strong canvas wrist band with Velcro4. It has a center button to illuminate the LCD when its dark.When I am riding my motorcycle in particular, I need to be able to glance quickly and see what time it is. That means I need a watch that is easy to read from the side, since my arms are holding the handle bar.I have a cell phone, but it's zipped up in my protective riding jacket giving me GPS and Music. Its a lot of effort to pull to the side of the road, remove it from the jacket pocket, take off my riding gloves, unlock the phone, just to know what time it is. This watch keeps things simple.I also don't want to expose my cellphone to the rain. This watch had 300 Feet of water resistance. A rainy day is going to make me late.Really important for X-Game sports like Motorcycles, Cycling, Skateboarding is the heavy duty strong watch with Velcro strap. If my wrist gets hot, or wet, I can easily loosen the band. If I need to secure it tighter for those times I might be exploring a cave, I can tighten it up and know it's not going anywhere.I love the modern technology of a cell phone, but when I want to get rough and dirty, I want something durable, easy to use, survives the elements and I don't have to worry about breaking.Armitron has over 49 years of experience in designing watches.
