Great watch but different color

My daughter loves this watch. She works well and does everything she needs. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's green rather than blue. She was a little disappointed by that. Color pictures are her favorite color. She decided to let the watch stand and was content. I'm only giving it 4 stars because of the color issues.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Not waterproof

Bought for my daughter 3 days ago. She wore it on a summer swim day and the water was under her face, water droplets and fogging were evident and the paint around her face where it was connected to the tape had completely peeled off. She is an excellent swimmer and has never dived to the bottom of a 4 foot pool, so not 50 meters deep. It works, but it looks pretty awful after the first swim.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Nice watch, strange function change

This is at least my 5th time in a row and I can't imagine why they changed the button layout on the right side of the watch, it takes a little getting used to. The indigo button is on the bottom now, so I kept hitting the start/stop button (where the indigo button used to be) in the dark. Otherwise it's pretty and meets my needs. I reckon it will last about 2 years before I need another one.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • No insurance

great watch Withstands daily use in chlorine environments

This is a replacement watch for an identical watch. My daughter wore her last one every day for a little over a year. It turned green and the strap holding the extra watch strap after you buckled it snapped. However, I have to put that into perspective by saying that she is a competitive swimmer who trains 3-4 hours a day in the water 5-6 days a week. She wears a watch in the pool so I'm sure the chlorine had a lot to do with the band breaking up.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Long Time

Inexpensive clock! The best accessory

We bought two of these and they work great. My daughter swam with her 4 times a week for a year. After 200+ swims it started to leak a little. It will also scratch your face. I'm deducting a star for these two reasons, but honestly, for the price, this is a great product. I would pay more for a watch with a scratch resistant dial, but it and better water resistance would cost four times more than this watch. Daughter loves the size. Fits a teenager's hand well. We just buy one every year.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Matching

The watch looks good but is completely unusable.

The watch is completely unusable. I went to a watchmaker today to find out how to use it as all the instructions seemed to be in about 17 different languages. The handyman couldn't get the thing to work. I asked him to put a new battery in another one I brought him and it works great. The only good thing I can say about the watch is that the battery works. And there was a warning not to attempt to reset the clock underwater. Otherwise it seems completely useless.

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Not suitable for everyone

Perfect fit for our needs

Ordered this for my 11 year old daughter who is very picky about colour, looks etc. This is perfect for her and she loves it. They were supposed to be for camp but she hasn't taken them off since we got them. The dial is very, very crisp - much crisper than my much more expensive Casios. The buttons, as some have noted, are pretty solid, but she has no problem using them and you know exactly when they've been pressed. The functions are simple and relatively logical. If he survives camp and the…

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • No

I bought this watch a little less than a year ago and I personally really like it. The watch is made of plastic, so it can be worn in the water without damage, which is very convenient. I think it's the perfect watch because it has a timer, a stopwatch, a feature that lets you see the screen in the dark and toggles between twelve and twenty-four hours. All in all this is a great watch and I would definitely recommend it. When you buy a blue watch, the watch is basically the same color as…

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Secret

inferior to previous models

Advantages:1. lightweight2. nice color (although a little fluorescent for what I was looking for) 3. Features: stopwatch, night light, time zone, 12 or 24 hour format, date and time display. Cons: 1. The stopwatch doesn't stay on screen unless it's actively running. So if I pause the stopwatch and come back to it after a few minutes, I have to press a different button to go back to the stopwatch screen instead of just pressing 'Start'. ". Not what I want in a stopwatch function. 2. The buttons…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Easily wrinkled
