Review on ⌚ Armitron Sport Men's Digital Chronograph Watch with Resin Strap, Model 40/8284 by Mike Marks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for what it is

I bought this watch along with an Invicta watch. I couldn't decide on the type of watch I wanted and that this watch is so cheap as they just bought both. I originally wanted to buy Casio Men's AE1000W-1B but Revain had trouble selling it when it came time to pay for this watch. So I searched and found this one. I'm glad I did. Sure, the Invicta is always better made, but that doesn't mean it's a bad watch. I really like it so I'll save it for viewing over the weekend. It's a nice size, almost the size of the Invicta dive watch, so quite big, but very light and comfortable. It's very legible and has a backlight that's not as bright as Timex's 'Indiglo', but it's cooler - it makes the numbers stand out rather than the whole face. It's probably not as beautiful and durable as the Casio G-Shock. designed to play but for less than $25 and I'm sure it keeps time just as well. The only thing that really worries me is that the band isn't very well done. I'm sure if you don't abuse it it will last as long as a watch, but a good latch on a door or belt and that band will most likely snap. If you are giving this to a child or are very active I would say by all means buy a watch but be aware that you will likely need a new strap before needing to change the battery. All in all, this is a pretty good cheap watch. . Not the best materials, but if you're looking for a sub-$25 watch with a backlight, enter the date. Alarm and chronograph I don't see how anyone could be disappointed with this watch.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
