Armitron Men's Day/Date Function Bracelet Watch, 20/4935

Nice watch at a great price. I wear it to work instead of my more expensive watches simply because my job is very physical, I'm constantly moving and lifting boxes in a cramped work area which means I often bang into things with the risk of scratching or scuffing my watch. Also, the big watch face let's me know the time with a quick glance and I love the shade of blue. Since it's a men's size watch, I did have to remove a few links so it would fit my wrist but that's easy to do. I always set my watches according to the atomic clock and so far this one has maintained the correct time down to the second. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase.

This is exactly what I wanted: an amazingly beautiful, extremely accurate piece of jewelry that I can wear 24/7. I set the watch against my cell phone. It is accurate to the second. I got the blue dial with stainless steel (silver colored) band. The photo in ad is fairly accurate, but the watch is much more beautiful in person. I am going to describe what it looks like in detail because I wish one of the reviewers or the seller had included all this information to help me shop. The dial is a bright blue sun ray. It's not quite true blue, but has a slightly purplish tint. In the photo the numbers look white, which was acceptable though not quite what I wanted. But in fact they are polished silver, which is what I DID want. The hands are also silver, but the hour and minute hands have a white stripe of luminous material; this strip appears green as it glows in the dark, but looks bright white when the watch is in day light or artificial lighting. The border just inside the edge of the crystal is also a mirror-finish silver. The beveled edge between the outer mirror ring and the dial is a matte navy blue. All the rest of the writing and markers are bright white, with black type for the day and date. I would have included a photo, if I could figure out how to get the lighting right to show the details accurately, but there is so much reflected light from so many different directions that the colors don't show true. Despite this, the time is very easy to read. The case has a highly polished, mirror finish. The band and two finishes: the outer edges have the same mirror finish, while there is a wide brushed stainless finish in the middle. Very pretty. Some other reviewers submitted photos that make the band look gray or black and not very shiny, but that's not how it looks at all. It's as blingy as you can get without the busy look of jewels and engravings. The whole look is very sleek, yet eye-catching from across the room. The crystal is flat all the way to the edge, which sits about 1mm higher than the edge of the case. Some reviewers said that the band makes a rattling sound, but I mine does not. It rattles while taking it off and putting it on, but since I never do that I don't care. I probably wouldn't care even if there were a rattle while wearing it. But no, it's silent. The size and design are good for me. I am a big person so I have fun wearing big watches, but I have very very small wrists, such that bracelets never fit me off the rack. Watches usually slide to the outer edge of my wrist. But either accidentally or by design, the links in this band combined with the case size are such that removing two links made it fit me exactly right. The case sits right in the middle of my wrist without rotating around and making me look disheveled and making my wrist bones feel uncomfortable. This alone is a precious feature--something that fits me! Hurray! Since summer is upon us, I may add back one link so that it fits more like a loose bangle, which I find more comfortable in humid heat. I like that it doesn't have a diamond in it. I would have grudgingly bought a watch with a diamond if everything else were just right, but I prefer not to support the diamond industry. I intend to brutalize this watch because my life is busy and physical and I don't like to constantly don and remove jewelry and timepieces that can't keep up with me. If I am not having an MRI performed, I don't take off my metal adornments. I will update this review when I know more about how it stands up to the punishment of daily bathing, running, gardening, and banging around in cabinets. I got this watch to replace a Michael Kors Runway watch with a gorgeous blue and silver dial and a not-so-pretty painted green band, with a price tag almost seven times what I paid for this one. That watch was a great disappointment, since the paint began to chip off immediately. I have higher hopes for this $30 Armitron, and if I'm wrong, well it was only $30 instead of $200.

I wanted an inexpensive analog wrist watch to wear everyday. I work with gloves on and it is very inconvenient to pull my phone out of my pocket to see what time it is. The day and date are large enough for me to read. The hands glow in the dark. I don't know if the band is adjustable or replaceable, but it works for me as is. Nice quality. Easy to set day, date, and time. It has been keeping accurate time.

This a very nice watch for a reasonable price. I haven ever owned an Armitron watch before as I viewed it as "not a real watch company", and perhaps it's not. Regardless, this watch is very attractive, luminosity last a full 8 hours (if it has been exposed to sufficient previous sunlight or some other other strong light source, which is typical). Battery life not stated, movement stated as "Japan".

This is a really nice looking watch at a very reasonable price. I obviously wasn’t expecting a Rolex, but I was at least hoping for something halfway decent when I ordered it. I’m quite happily surprised at the quality and weight of this watch. I’m not a watch snob and in reality most people aren’t, so a good looking watch on your wrist is just a good looking watch on your wrist no matter the cost. I would absolutely recommend this watch and would happily buy another one if the need to replace it ever arose.

Great watch. Heavy and well built

A nice watch with good style that's large, but not oversized. Simple, easy to read Day/Date with no gimmicks. I wasn't sure if I would like the roman numerals but they actually look pretty good with the blue dial. Under indoor light the dial looks almost black but when the light catches it the blue shines through. In the outdoors it's all blue. The band is simple, but looks nice. However, I am unable to remove a link because the pins are too small for any of my watch tools. I'll have to go to a jeweler. It appears to have a screw on back which is usually much more reliable than a snap on back. Overall, I like this.

This is a beautiful watch. I have other Armitron watches and find the stainless steel ones are consistent in the quality of their construction. This model will definitely draw praise for its looks. The price was very fair for what you get. This however, was the first one I have had with very notable noise issues. The band was noisy and squeaked as you move about. The ticking mechanism was very audible and could be heard across a quiet room so I had to put it away at night. As I saw another reviewer wrote, mine would also stop. For these reasons I gave just this one 3 stars. Still, overall, Armitron delivers value for the money and I would still consider other models as this was the only one I have ever had any issue with. Given past successes with the brand and just this one time issue, I would still recommend Armitron for low cost, decent, and nice looking watches.

Llego mucho antes de lo esperado! Muy buena calidad y se me mucho mejor ya puesto que en las fotos! Contento con la compra y recomendable 100%

Excelente reloj a muy buen precio

Amazing

I love the watch, but I wish that there is atleast 2 more links with the bracelet of watch. Because its a little tight on my wrist but if someone has a wide wrist, then it won't fit it. Arrived on time. The box is nice. I will definitely recommend the watch as well as the seller. Thanks!

Love this i have two!
