Armitron Sport Unisex Digital Chronograph Silicone Strap Watch, 40/8417

Numbers distinction
Look great. Works well for work for time management 🙃

Decent watch
I bought this watch to wear at work because I would lose track of time. The big numbers are very helpful, including working outdoors in bright sun all day. I work in horticulture so it gets wet very often. It has held up wellI did scratch the clear cover very quick. Since it’s for work and still readable, I’m not too bothered by it. It would be better if it was a more resilient. I do wish I could see the day and date – the one feature that I miss.It is a large watch that’s a bit clunky; it gets caught in my long sleeve clothes. The wristband has a strong grip. Even though, I wear it daily.

Pretty but not user friendly
I purchased the watch for my daughter and had it sent to her home. She’s losing her eye sight and dL needed a large face that she could see. When she got it she fell in love with it immediately. She could never set the time and exchanged it for another exact watch. I need to say that several adults in her life tried to set the time on the first one as well to no avail. That one wouldn’t set either so she called Amitron direct and they tried to help her set the time by phone directions. It ended up with them telling her to send it in and they would set it up for her. When she asked what would she do when the time changed in the fall they told her she would have to send it in again. She was so disappointed and so was I. It’s a beautiful watch but sadly very difficult to get working.

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.

Gewohnt gute Armitron-Qualität. Eine Uhr für Freizeit und Sport. Zu dem Zweck wurde sie auch von mir gekauft und daher wurden meine Erwartungen in jeder Hinsicht voll erfüllt. Und der gezahlte Preis von nur 12,45 € ist auch konkurrenzlos günstig.
