ArmitronMen's 40/8330BLK Brown Accented Digital Chronograph Black Nylon Strap Watch

My son was experiencing a rash from the metal back of his watch contacting his skin all the time. We discovered it was fairly common for some people to have these issues. We got him the amitron watch because of the cloth that is between the wrist and the back of the watch and it worked perfectly for him. No more rash or pain. The watch worked great and is nice looking. This is a replacement to the first watch we got him, it lasted over 2 years of him wearing it everyday, before the cloth broke that attaches the watch face to the wrist strap. But well worth the money and lasting for a 12 year old who wears it all the time.

I've been buying this brand for about 5 yrs now. You'll be lucky if you have instructions, or the instructions will be weird. A quick Google search gets you the instructions. Waterproof, sturdy as heck. I'm clumsy, so it takes a beating. I prefer the nylon wristband. It's fabric as opposed to the plastic one. It fits better and looks better, imo

Tells time, so that's good. I had trouble seeing the digital readout at night-just not bright enough for me. And the velcro wrist band could be problematical. Fine for the price level and looks good.

Got this to wear at work , so far has held up well

Purchased for my son and he loves this watch so much

This is my casual, everyday watch. I really like it! It’s sturdy, easy to read and you can’t beat the convenience of velcro straps. The only thing that baffles me is the purposeless sequence of switching blocks at the bottom of the screen. Just why? But, they are a non-issue.

Very similar to an Armitron watch that I’ve had for years and like a lot as it’s easy to read and change between functions. But the plastic/resin strap finally broke and I found it difficult to find and obtain the correct band for the watch. It needs one specifically for the model I have. Even Armitron customer service/parts said they didn’t have the strap in black…try back in a few weeks I was told. Didn’t inspire confidence that they’d ever get one in stock. Then I saw this very similar watch, only with a Velcro strap. And for only $17 and free shipping! I’m sure the replacement strap I sought for the other watch, plus shipping, would have almost equaled the cost of the new watch. I’m hoping that the Velcro strap won’t crack and break like the plastic/resin ones. Time will tell. The watch itself is great, like my previous one, albeit with a broken strap. I will still try to get a replacement strap for my old watch as it works just fine. But if I can’t get one, or it costs too much to replace, I now have a suitable replacement. Virtually the same watch with a Velcro strap.

I have been wearing this watch continuously for the last 2 years. I literally almost never take it off. It's waterproof and has no trouble surviving daily showers. I find the nylon/velcro watch band to be the most comfortable for me. You can't ask for more from a watch that costs about $15. I've been thinking about getting a different watch recently, just because I'm considering a fancy solar/atomic self-setting watch. But, you could buy half a dozen of these watches for the same price, and they would likely last decades.
