Review on Waterproof Men'S Digital Sports Watch With Large Face, Stopwatch, Alarm, And LED Back Light For Enhanced Performance And Style by Charley Prz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I’m pleased so far.

Update: Apr. 1st 202111 months of service. Still functioning well. Zero complaints. (It does seem to gain about 30 seconds a month.) Easily worth $16. I just ordered another one in black.Version: Camo / GreenPurchase Date: Apr. 21st, 2020Delv. Date: Apr. 29th, 2020Initial Impressions: Large, easy to read display area. Camo is well executed and doesn’t look cheesy. Case feels fairly rugged and durable. Band is soft, pliable, and comfortable but doesn’t feel too flimsy. It was easy to set. I didn’t have to look at the instructions until I couldn’t figure out how to change it from 24 hour (military time) mode to AM/PM mode. I was looking for a way to change the mode while I was setting the time and date, but it turned out to be very simple. You hit the top right button to toggle between the two time display modes. That’s a pretty neat feature in my mind. In my profession I interact with people who use 24HR time, but most often its with people who use AM/PM time. It’s nice to be able to refer back and forth at the press of a button. I also couldn’t figure out how to set the weekday initially but once I entered the date and the correct year, it changes to the correct weekday automatically. I put it on and mowed the lawn. No issues. I left it on to take a shower, because I wanted to know it could handle at least that much moisture. If it turns out not to be submersible, at $15 I’ll forgive it. I have dive watches for that environment. No moisture got into the watch during my shower. Some may not know that you never want to press any of your buttons while a watch is submersed even if it’s waterproof. I don’t press buttons even if it’s just wet or I’m in a very high-humidity environment. That may have been an issue with negative reviews. I also see negative comments about the lens being easy to scratch. I have expensive watches that have scratched lenses now. If you slam a plastic lens into something, yes, it’s going to scratch. This lens is recessed, but barely, so either be mindful of swinging your arms around, or don’t, and take comfort in knowing you aren’t beating up an expensive watch.Update: May 5th, 2020Again, I want to know what this watch will handle and preferably before I order an all black one. I took it camping Friday through Sunday. It got rained on. I got the Jeep bound up on a 7 inch diameter log and had to chop it out of my suspension and brake system with a hatchet. It took almost an hour. The watch held up to the shock/impact of that and banging it into the undercarriage a few times while trying to remove the log. I packed up camp in the rain and again had no issues with moisture getting into the case. So far I’m pretty impressed.

Pros
  • The watch is ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to monitor their progress
Cons
  • The watch may not be as well-suited for people with sensitive skin or allergies, particularly if they react to plastic or synthetic materials
