Review on ⌚ Armitron Sport 45/7004 Unisex Digital Chronograph Watch with Nylon Strap by Michael Baker

They last about a year, maybe less. The first thing going south is the crystal; we're not talking about sapphire here; This armitron's ability to withstand the slightest punishment is ridiculously nil. Sometimes it seems like a new scratch is about to appear if you look closely at the dial. at least that's how it feels. Velcro and what I hate about it is that over time (a few months) it loses its softness and takes on the hard round shape of your wrist. I bought this watch 3 times, mostly new ones came in less than a year (the plaque quickly disappears from the rose; too many scratches and difficulty in bending open the hard round bracelet. Besides, after some time one of them just refused to to start or stop the timer and since i am buying this watch to keep time z so this is what i will be buying next while i am in the air and stopping the stopwatch function is easy now with my casio dw 5600E, a pretty good watch, it has become VERY difficult to start and stop the timer, trying to do this can break a nail, a real bummer, I think what it costs is $43, so is this armitron less than half that amount now my omega (I have over 20 hours he admitted sheepishly) was good value l grander (used) and it's a pain they don't keep up with the time they're broken and I will not fix them 't wait until I win the lottery, and here's why: they came with a hard rubber strap (although they're still a CLASSIC nice watch). I went to Omega and asked them how much steel band would cost me (which would make it even better). Remember this will be a steel band; no gold or platinum band. I think the answer was $795.00. and that was 4 or 5 years ago. It worked fine for a few years but when it stopped working I thought it would cost me my housing contract. repair something. and there wasn't even a stopwatch on what currently makes up the Omega doorstop! This black Armitron watch with red details is also interesting. I wear this watch almost all the time; First, the case diameter is 38mm, which suits me very well; these 45mm monsters carrying everything and their brother make it look like they have an improvised explosive device on their wrist; No thanks. So it's more or less; If it breaks, you'll only lose $20 and you'll also save your home. -L.
