ArmitronMen's 40/8330BLK Brown Accented Digital Chronograph Black Nylon Strap Watch

My son was experiencing a rash from the metal back of his watch contacting his skin all the time. We discovered it was fairly common for some people to have these issues. We got him the amitron watch because of the cloth that is between the wrist and the back of the watch and it worked perfectly for him. No more rash or pain. The watch worked great and is nice looking. This is a replacement to the first watch we got him, it lasted over 2 years of him wearing it everyday, before the cloth broke that attaches the watch face to the wrist strap. But well worth the money and lasting for a 12 year old who wears it all the time.

Got this to wear at work , so far has held up well

I have previously ordered, and returned, a number of "sport" watches that I didn't like for various reasons. Mostly it was that the trend in men's watches these days is making them big, so it looks like you have an alarm clock on your wrist. Not my style.This one, in spite of being on the larger side, doesn't look/feel that way to me, partly because the watch body is up off your wrist with a nicely designed wrist band holding it up. Only like 1/8 of an inch or so, but to me it made all the difference.Pros/cons.It apparently has lots of functions, but I probably won't use most of them. If you like a watch that can tell the time in Mombasa, Kenya and Tyler, TX at the same time, you're in luck. Also has an alarm function, which I might use, and a stopwatch function, which I probably won't.Negatives:One of my pet peeves is instruction manuals with a type font so small I need a magnifying glass to read them. Which is a concern for me since the watch has so many functions and 4 different buttons around the body, which, pressed in different orders and based on which mode (date/time, alarm, etc.) you're in, do different things, some of which I definitely don't want.Overall I like the watch and it will likely become my everyday go-to. Once I figure out how to set the current time.

Easy to use for the money.

I've been buying this brand for about 5 yrs now. You'll be lucky if you have instructions, or the instructions will be weird. A quick Google search gets you the instructions. Waterproof, sturdy as heck. I'm clumsy, so it takes a beating. I prefer the nylon wristband. It's fabric as opposed to the plastic one. It fits better and looks better, imo

Very similar to an Armitron watch that I’ve had for years and like a lot as it’s easy to read and change between functions. But the plastic/resin strap finally broke and I found it difficult to find and obtain the correct band for the watch. It needs one specifically for the model I have. Even Armitron customer service/parts said they didn’t have the strap in black…try back in a few weeks I was told. Didn’t inspire confidence that they’d ever get one in stock. Then I saw this very similar watch, only with a Velcro strap. And for only $17 and free shipping! I’m sure the replacement strap I sought for the other watch, plus shipping, would have almost equaled the cost of the new watch. I’m hoping that the Velcro strap won’t crack and break like the plastic/resin ones. Time will tell. The watch itself is great, like my previous one, albeit with a broken strap. I will still try to get a replacement strap for my old watch as it works just fine. But if I can’t get one, or it costs too much to replace, I now have a suitable replacement. Virtually the same watch with a Velcro strap.

This is my casual, everyday watch. I really like it! It’s sturdy, easy to read and you can’t beat the convenience of velcro straps. The only thing that baffles me is the purposeless sequence of switching blocks at the bottom of the screen. Just why? But, they are a non-issue.

Great, affordable digital watch. All pros, no cons.
