ArmitronMen's 408177RED Chronograph Black and Red Digital Watch

Very inexpensive watch. I have small wrists, so was worried this watch would be too large and bulky, as many of the Marathon and IronMan watches are. This watch is just the right size. Not too big, not too small. And with the band that is perforated all around, it fits perfect.As far as the watch functionality, the display can be seen, depending on the light in the room. I have had moments when it did appear unreadable, but that didn't require but a tilt of the wrist. Nice size numbers for the geriatric eyes. The illumination button dimly lights the numbers in a faint green glow. Kinda nice.I wanted an inexpensive watch, and that is what I got. Looks good. Functions 100% as stated. It is NOT a high end watch. If that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. I personally would buy this watch again.

This is a great watch. I use it, I like it. It's dim but I can read it. Cannot read it across the room, no. It's a wrist watch not a clock. It does the job of being a wrist watch quite well. It enables me to tell the time at a glance. It's not hard to see in the sun, it's not hard to see in the dark. It lights up, understand?It's a nice watch, sexy and sleek. If you dig the design, which I do. the numbers are chunky, chunky numbers are easy for me to see. I value these things.

This watch is a watch I really wanted to like, and I do. the only problem I have experienced is that the display is really dim, making it difficult to see at times. I don't use all the functionality of this watch, as I was just looking to tell time and date, but it does have a stopwatch function as well as at least one alarm, maybe two.I keep this watch as a backup to my big numbered(I'm old) digital watch that I wear daily. Also this watch is so stylish looking that I frequently wear it when am dressed in formal wear. It is not overly large, although certainly not small, and with a wide classic band, it is somewhat of a fashion statement. soft and easy to wear.The dim display is not a huge problem, although it does keep me from using this watch on a daily basis. I must have my reading glasses on to be able to tell time. Hence, the reason for one less star. If you have good eyesight, it probably would not be a problem and it does have a light function which improves the clarity somewhat. I just don't want to push a button every time I want to know the time. Anyway, It'll do.

While I normally rely upon my cellphone for the time, I decided before leaving the country that I needed something a bit more trustworthy while skipping across multiple time zones. I didn't want something fancy enough to have to worry about being stolen, nor was I looking to show off or 'flaunt' any type of wealth. My priorities: comfort, simplicity and performance.Check. Check. Check. The square design gives off a nice, classy look, while so far it is the most comfortable wristband of any watch I've ever owned. It is easy to read and adjust the time, with the normal package of a functioning alarm and stopwatch. I am completely satisfied.I'm not giving this five stars because it is the best watch out there, nor do I think it is an amazing value. But this was exactly what I wanted when I began looking for watches, and that's the only qualification I use when rating.

Very hard to read. Price was cheap so low expectations but even those weren't meant. Might be the worse product I've ever purchased. 7-year battery was apparently installed 7 years ago.

This is a surprisingly attractive watch for the price. Functions are useful with a good stopwatch and reasonable timer plus alarm, although I really only needed it for the dual time. It is light, slim, stylish and easy to read for the most part. Sometimes in daylight you have to angle your arm a little. Well, that's no biggie. My only issue is the beeping sound when you change functions - there doesn't appear to be any way to turn that off!! My watch didn't come with any instructions but it was very easy to figure out - except for that annoying beeping!Still, if you are in the market for an inexpensive, snazzy looking watch, this is a good buy.

My all time favorite "regular" watch.You can't beat this watch for the price.In total I have bought 4 of them. Lost two and the other I wore until I started chipping the finish on it (after 3 years).I love the look and am frequently asked if it is a smart watch. It is professional and sporty at the same time.Couple other great things about it:- The back light illuminates the numbers only rather than the entire screen making it much more easy to read in the dark- You have to hold the set key for a couple seconds so you can't accidentally go into changing the time like you can on other watches.- Strap is rugged and holds in place nicely.- Water resistant to 330 ft (over double the depth you can go with the basic PADI scuba diving license). I have taken it swimming/diving and none of them have ever fogged up on me.Overall fantastic watch, you will not regret your purchase.

Immediately upon opening the box, it became very clear that, as a few other reviewers mentioned, the display on this watch was far too dim. The background is fairly dark and the numbers simply aren't very light making them wash out and hard to read. You also have to look at the watch directly on to see the numbers as they will disappear if you are at even a small angle. There is a light but it barely did anything except in complete darkness.Most of the pictures of the watch on Amazon look quite good but there is a picture of the watch on a fake arm that is more representative of the watch (ie. dimmer).I didn't test any of the features as I knew the display was not going to work for me. An extra star (2 total) because the numbers are big and the band is quite adjustable.
