ArmitronMen's Digital Chronograph Resin Strap Watch, 40/8397

This was my first Armitron; I have had it for roughly a week now and I love it. If you have a normal sized male wrist, it will look big but not oversized. The band feels durable as well. It has received several compliments so far. The yellow color looks very nice in real life, I would recommend taking the plunge if you are considering that color. It has quite a few functions that have proven useful. The b1/b2 mode is for programming in birthdays since there seems to be some confusion on that particular function.

This watch is great for the money. It looks even better in person than while learning easy to use and get lots of compliments while made.

Armitron . This brand has traditionally enjoyed a pretty good reputation and that’s why I purchased this watch. Over the past year I’ve bought a couple of different really impressive looking Chinese watches that functioned briefly and then just abruptly quit. Too bad , they looked awesome. That’s why I decided to try this old school brand .This Armitron came simply packaged, but when I opened it up I was delighted to notice that the instructions were clear and that the watch responded to every command I gave it without hesitation and super accurately. Clear and concise instructions and immediate response.This thing really has heft, but it is not super flashy . It has a fashionably rugged look and it’s just conspicuous enough to be admired.So far this thing is keeping time like a champ . If it screws up I’ll correct this review at a later date.Right now, I’m recommending a hard buy .

Eye-catching style and great color. Good functions and sturdy enough, with some water resistance. It was a perfect companion for my week-long camping and canoeing adventure on Upper Missouri River. My only criticisms are that it runs a little slow, and the plastic watch bands are a little stiff.

Watch is great at this price point. I use it for work. It is comfortable and reliable. Highly recommended.

Love the price and Armitron has been around for a long time, even though there made in China now. It sure looks a lot like the more expensive Timex UFC.. Maybe made in the same place in China? But it's worth buying.

It's so yellow! It's bright. It's plastic. It has lots of information at one time. It looks neat, and you can wear it in the shower! It's durable, and the included instructions make it easy to set the time and date, and learn all of the many functions that it has. The band is cheap plastic, but it's durable cheap plastic. It's rather thick, though, and kept snagging on my long sheeve shirts when I was working. Other than that, it's a great deal for what it costs.

As stated this watch is bodacious, meaning it is attractive and admirable. It is bold, because it's a BIG watch (52.5 mm) with some bold features, and in my case it's a bold color (yellow). I've attached a photo of this watch next to my Casio Aviator watch to illustrate how large this Armitron 40/8397 is. And it really is a beautifully designed and executed watch. The numbers, markings, functional groupings, indicators, and artistic design elements are well thought out, functional, and easy to read. This isn't a ridiculously large watch, like one that would need to be worn on a chain around your neck, but it is BIG and makes a big statement when worn. It's a fun departure from my many other 'normal sized' (38-43mm) watches. I wear it sometimes when I bicycle or e-scooter around the city and definitely wear it as a casual watch on the weekends. It only cost $15.55! It has an amazing list of features and it comes from a long-lived company with a good reputation for quartz watches. I own numerous Armitron dress watches and sports watches and you definitely get your money's worth with Armitron. Highly recommend - buy it, love it, and have fun with it! I'm going to purchase the awesome RED one next!
