Review on ⌚ Armitron Sport Unisex Digital Chronograph Resin Strap Watch: 45/7099 - Review, Features, and Pricing by Ana Ramos

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Keep refrigerated until water seeps in and stops working

This is a cute/cool looking watch. The only complaints I have *looks wise* are minor: 1. See through band means arm hair shows through the band which is pretty gross lol2. The screws at the top are not aligned evenly and can be bothersome to a person with OCD3. The ribbon began to turn yellow within a few months. Sometimes the end of the strap slipped out of the small strap mount, but that's okay. I would probably give 5 stars if it didn't just last a few months! :( I've had digital sports watches for years, including at least one other Armitron, I've worn them swimming and washing my hands, and I've never had an issue with the water resistance. Each has lasted for years and has never stopped working (both the band and also the band.. broken or the battery died or they just looked dirty)! Anyway I washed this watch with soapy water after every work shift because of covid but they were never soaked in water more than possible when washing dishes but somehow has Condensation formed on the face. This happened randomly, and at first the fog on the face disappeared overnight, but one day parts of the display began to disappear. Revain listed a 90-day guarantee, but they said they could replace the watch after the 30th day -day return period and contacted Armitron, so I paid to have my watch shipped to New York for a free repair leave. They replaced the ba case, mechanics and yellowed strap and sent it back to Evy True, the water resistance wasn't fixed because. she immediately started sweating again. In fact, I woke up one day and the display was completely gone. They returned a few days later but were reset to the year 2000. I reset the time but it no longer shows the time/doesn't work properly. Maybe this problem is related to my watch and the rest of the watch works fine. Or does the watch lose its water resistance after washing? In any case it was disappointing.

Pros
  • Gray plastic case with dark blue top ring; LCD display with time, seconds, day and date; Dark Blue Textured Resin Strap With Buckle Clasp
Cons
  • Low Repairability
