Review on ⌚ Armitron Sport 40/8291BLU Unisex Navy Blue Accented Digital Chronograph Watch with Black Nylon Strap by Tina Miles

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good watch for the money

I needed a watch with a good display for night walks. I thought about getting another Timex because I love INDIGLO, but decided I wasn't going to change the watch in a few years when the bracelet broke. This Armitron watch has an easily replaceable Velcro strap. I liked the large display and tested the backlight at my local WalMart and found it to be on par with the INDIGLO or the Casio equivalent. As I said, I saw a similar model at WalMart and decided to take a chance and buy a watch. Setting the clock was a bit difficult. The instructions for the watch were somehow sealed in the hard plastic case that the watch came with. I couldn't get the instructions so I spent some time programming the watch. I finally figured it out (this is different from the Timex setting). When I received the watch I set it to a standard atomic clock and it is still accurate. I believe by the end of the year these watches will be easily within 1 minute of an atomic clock which is not bad for a cheap digital watch. Also, the watch looks pretty good in my opinion. The watch was delivered quickly thanks to Revain customer service for a great job. I'm downgrading my rating to 1 star due to an issue with the user manual, but other than that I'm very happy with my purchase.
