Review on Armitron Sport Women's Digital Chronograph Watch with Resin Strap, Model 45/7012 by Charles Palma

Revainrating 1 out of 5

That's great as long as you don't have to change the battery!

This is the most ridiculous watch that requires you to change the battery. To remove the case you must first unscrew 4 small screws so make sure you have an eyeglass screwdriver. But even to get to the screws, you have to completely remove the watch strap from both sides, which is also a huge problem. Once you've removed the case, you'll need to remove two more small screws before you can access the battery itself. Once you change the battery it will touch and go when it turns back on. There is a confusing instruction on a sticker inside the watch that says you have to short circuit it to reset(?) it. It makes no sense and it's all just a guessing game. Once you've figured that out, you have to replace all 6 microscopic screws, which isn't easy even with tweezers. Then, when you've put everything back together, you have to go through the harrowing experience of setting the time, which of course is just as overly complicated and ill-explained in this watch as changing the battery. The PURPOSE of the creators of these watches is to disappoint you to death so you just give up and buy another one. If you don't like being tampered with like this - or tormented by what normal service should be - then buy another watch.
