Review on Armitron Women's Elegant Bracelet Watch with Premium Crystal Accents by Kelly Hunt

We honestly only got this today so everything looks good from the packaging. Time will tell (look what I did there?) how it will hold up in the long run. I give the product 5 stars because I don't know any better. The customization sucks, but it probably shouldn't lower the rating. Continue reading! I'm really here to tell you about watch strap customization. My wife did a lot of research on this before ordering and found that to be the number one complaint. For this particular model, THE USER MANUAL WILL NOT HELP! I'm not joking. This is a general brochure covering most of their products, including belt length adjustment, but not this specific one. By the way, going on YouTube and searching how to adjust the strap of an Armitron women's watch won't do any good either - I'll save you some work. After searching the video site for everything related to wearable watches, I was about to give up when I saw a link that wasn't really related to my search, which was exactly what I needed. You need to search for "How to Remove T-Bar Watch Band Links". This video link is very helpful. youtube.com/watch?v=Gp5qzewcak4 It took you about an hour to search and watch the videos, so welcome to this front ( How was I supposed to know what that's called?! Thanks Armitron for omitting that from the instruction manual have!) Now let me tell you that even if you have the right video and you know what you are doing, T - link to bar viewbar, it's still a tricky thing, see, you really need jeweler tools for that, everyone other tutorials on youtube show you how to work with MacGyver, which is what I'm talking about, but you need a special tool to do it. Well, I'm also a piano technician, so I have some pretty unusual instruments and I could make MacGyver one, if you'd like Thing you absolutely must do is buy yourself some of the cheapest and smallest pliers, anything you can, and then get ready to sabotage them so you can use the pro tool h you can see in the video. Then, if you don't have a fancy watch stand, well, god be with you, because after you've moved that T-bar a little over a millimeter with a hack tool, you'll need to find something that has a way to push and pull protrude an extra millimeter so that it is high enough for you to grip with a pair of good needle nose pliers that have not been mutilated. I ended up using a pickaxe and a jeweler's hammer, but I tried to be careful not to damage the watch in the process. ) was relatively painless. All in all, it took me about two hours to set up her watch. In all honesty, you've been warned. I have given you all the information you need. You decide what your skill is and how much your time is worth. If you have a jeweler in your area it can cost $8 or so if they just do it for you since they have all the tools you need. Maybe that's why Armitron doesn't have a dedicated department for the T-Bar watch strap?!
