COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE BETTER
LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS WATCH. FINALLY, a women's watch that isn't the equivalent of wearing an Instant Pot on your arm. This one is so petite, but it doesn't look like a kid's watch. Why has this been such a difficult feat for manufacturers?The best watch I've ever owned was a digital Armitron I think in the '80s. It was small, very low profile (even lower than this one), and had all the digital functions. When it finally died, they had long since stopped making it. I went with Timex after that, and haven't been happy with most of their stuff. BIG is NOT okay! Their smaller watches were expensive and fragile (bands ripped apart easily), and the last one perpetually slipped around my arm so that I could no longer see it. Took two hands to see the time.My little Armitron here came without instructions, which I knew going in. (I bought an open box to save a few bucks). There are YouTube videos that explain everything you need to know and which may be helpful for visual people like myself. It's not hard to figure out, but it is just different enough from Timex to throw you off a little here and there.HOURLY CHIME: I love the optional hourly chime. Helps me keep track of my day better. (Hit MODE button once to get to the alarm, then hit the upper right button until you see a little bell).STOPWATCH: I use the stopwatch every day when I run, and LOVE that it doesn't have laps! (Update: I think it actually does have laps). You can pause the stopwatch using the top right button, OR pause it (to check your time) while keeping it running in the background using the top left button. Hit the top left button again to get back to the active stopwatch.TIME ZONE/24HR: Love the second time zone and optional 24-hour clock for us nurses out there (hit the top left button to switch back and forth). Love everything about this watch. Even though it's small, it doesn't look like a kid's watch. It's too classy for that. Oh, and love all the wonderful colors it comes in. I got "pink/rose gold," but I definitely wouldn't call the band pink. It's more like a very faint peach, and the rose gold is beautiful. That's for more dressy occasions. Also got navy for everyday wear, and purple for fun. I'll keep ordering new colors as they release them.Thank you, Armitron! Don't ever stop selling this watch, and don't change it in any way! It's PERFECT.UPDATE 2-22-22: Still wear these watches 24/7. I inherited 18 very nice watches from my mother, and have only worn one of them once. This one is just that good.I change a lot of watch batteries (by no means an expert tho), and this one is more of a challenge than most. There are four tiny screws to open the back--which is great, much easier than popping the back off--and two even tinier screws to remove a metal frame over the battery. Once replaced, you have to short circuit the connection to get it going. It takes CR1616 batteries, which are inexpensive. I wear my purple watch a ton, and constantly change modes and use the light, so the battery lasted me a little less than 2 years. The two I purchased in fall of 2019 are still going strong. (It is now Feb 2022). I'm about to add a black one to my collection.

Excellent basic watch for slim wrists
I have a 5.5in wrist so I find most adult-size bracelets etc are too loose. I haven't worn a watch in years and wanted to find a basic one that wasn't a kids watch but also was not too bulky for my small proportions. This one is just right. I like that it is a sleek design that is neither too sporty nor too dressed up so I feel I can wear it in most situations. The band actually has room to tighten down further, which is rare for me. The 3rd hole is a nice snug fit on me (so 5.5in), though I will probably wear it on hole 4 to have a little wiggle room. The watch came with instructions that were fairly easy to follow; it was already set to the time/date, but a couple hours off (must have come from a different time zone). I am reserving a star because I don't know how it will hold up over time, but this fit my current need. It was also a decent price so that I don't have to worry about being too precious with it. Hopefully it'll serve me well for quite a while!

Cute, functional watch
I've gotten a lot of compliments on this little watch! I have small wrists and it fits perfectly, it is not bulky. Stylish. Comfy to wear 24/7.

Worthy watch
Best watch for everything. It's easy to read at a glance, the back lit display isn't blinding bright, and it's easy to set. I never take it off. Showering and hand washing doesn't affect it's performance. The shape of the watch is more like a band and is great for small wrists.

Cute but Cheap
This watch looks cute and it was actually the style I wanted....however it is so cheaply put together--which I did expect since it was only about $16.00--I cannot recommend even spending this much. The worst part was that It arrives set to military time and to change it to standard took forever. The instructions were completely pointless and we just ended up pushing buttons until we were able to finally get it set. It was an impulse buy because I wanted a simple digital watch without all the bells and whistles for exercise tracking, etc. and this was as simple as I could find online that was only a watch (not a heart/breathing monitor). For all the trouble it took to finally get it set, I could probably have found something just like it at a Target or Walmart but I was too lazy, so I ordered online. Basically, you get what you pay for, but I wouldn't buy it again.

This is a wonderful sports watch that is very attractive.
Excellent watch, great color, light weight, works well, perfect size. Watch comes already set to the time, the day, the date and the seconds. Looks great on very attractive for a sports watch. I purchased 2 in different colors and I love them both. Excellent purchase

Sporty but feminine.
I used to have a fitness tracker and the display would never come on when I raised my wrist. I always had to tap it repeatedly to see the time. When it died after a couple years, I learned that despite being rechargeable, the battery has a limited lifespan and cannot be replaced! It was not worth the cost of another fitness tracker to me. I much prefer this watch that is always on and has all the functions I need most at a very affordable price. It came set close to correct. The instructions are pretty clear. I like the way it looks - sporty but feminine. I like that it has a day/date function at a glance. (If you need to know the month and year, the full date is available with the push of a button.) Although I haven't used it yet, I travel fairly regularly and will get good use out of the dual time feature. I do have a little trouble seeing the EL (lighted) display, but I rarely use that. The only thing I really don't like is the buckle. I have fits trying to get the band inserted into the buckle and have difficulty putting the thing on. Once securely buckled on my wrist, it's fine.
