## Description

Product Description

Review: Une vraie montre vintage et solide! - Je confirme tout ce qui a été écrit sur la qualité de la montre. Rien à voir avec Casio. Je possède moi même la A168 et A164 . Celle-ci semblent des montres pour enfants à côté de cette Armitron. Enfin une vraie montre pour homme (ou femme même). Je confirme également que la montre vient avec une mise à jour de la lumière!! C’est très satisfaisant même si ce n’est pas une ‘illuminator’ de la concurrence c’est beaucoup mieux que la misérable lumière décrite sur les vieilles versions (et présente sur la A164 de Casio par exemple). Je confirme également qu’il s’agit d’un module Citizen donc très fiable en principe. L’affichage est aussi net que la A168 mais un peu moins bien que la A164 qui est parfait à mon sens. Autre détail, je n’ai pas vu de non conformité sur qualité et en effet verre semble être en minéral plutôt qu’un plastique. Dommage que Casio n’en prenne pas exemple car leur jouets pour enfants ça va un moment. Bref cette Armitron est un belle surprise et je la recommande vivement, pour le prix difficile de faire mieux.
Review: Almost Perfect (unless you live in a cave) - If you are here because this is priced as an alternative to those vintage looking Casio models then just buy this one. It's stainless steel (rather than silver painted plastic) and otherwise almost identical in every other respect. I say 'almost' because the Armitron has one glaring, or not so glaring, weakness: The LED backlight is so authentic to the seventies that, like most of the British workforce then, it barely works. In a pitch black room it might illuminate the first hour digit but that's all you are going to get. It's a shame because otherwise this is such a good watch at this price. The bracelet is comfortable, there is none of that weird 3-button asymmetry of the Casios, the display is crisp and shows all you need to know (time, day of week and date of month... I never understand digital watches that permanently need to show you the year). So stretch it a couple of mm (still looks good on small to medium size male wrists) and give it a nice upgrade to an EL backlight and this is the perfect minimalist watch for those of us who don't feel the need to spend hundreds or thousands on a (less reliable) mechanical watch or want to be charging a smartwatch daily to tell us how badly we already know we slept. It arrived in exactly a week from desertcart US, Armitron don't seem well known here but actually have quite a nice brand history over there.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the watch case actually stainless steel? Or, like the Casios, chrome-looking painted plastic?**
A: As far as I can tell, the casing and wristband are stainless steel. It looks like it and it feels heavy enough, for its size, to be metal and not plastic.

**Q: How long is the band? I have a large wrist and I want to know it fits before buying**
A: I bought it for my husband.  He has a large wrist and it fits.

**Q: How do I adjust the clasp without removing links?**
A: If you lay the watch down flat, you will notice a small tab on the inside of the clasp. Insert a small screwdriver etc. and pry it up. Once released, you may slide the clasp up and down the band. I use tape to mark the edge so I can adjust without losing my place as the clasp likes to jump around when it's unlocked.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: It's made in China, and is high-quality.   The case is made of substantial stainless steel and doesn't feel the least bit cheap.  Other watches like this are usually made of plastic.  The band is also easy to adjust.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nuova versione con illuminazione potenziata! Migliore Orologio Digitale per rapporto qualità/prezzo.
*by A***Y on 20 June 2025*

Ora che hanno migliorato l'illuminazione sostituendo il led verdino con uno bianco potente è diventato in assoluto l'orologio digitale con il migliore rapporto qualità prezzo: - cassa e cinturino in acciaio inossidabile - resistente all'acqua 5 bar - vetro minerale - ottime funzioni: ora, data, secondo orario, crono, sveglia, beep cambio ora, luce (manca solo il timer per essere perfetto) - movimento digitale affidabile e resistente (prodotto da Citizen) L'Armitron Rubik se paragonato ad un qualsiasi competitor sulla stessa fascia prezzo da 3 giri a tutti: Casio ad esempio per cifre anche maggiori al prezzo del Rubik è in grado di offrire solo casse in resina o cromate (l'acciaio lo vedi solo dai 100 euro in su e su pochissime referenze), vetri in plastica e resistenza all'acqua di max 3 bar (teoricamente non potresti neanche farci il bagno, mha). Insomma non c'è proprio paragone, solo Timex con il T80 e con l'Adidas Digital Two si riesce ad avvicinare al rapporto del Rubik (ma in quel caso il listino prezzo è comunque maggiore). Che dire, secondo me non resterete delusi. Indico solo i possibili punti di miglioramento per un eventuale aggiornamento futuro della referenza: - Il caseback è ad incastro (snap case), fa il suo lavoro egregiamente nel tenere lontana l'acqua, ma sarebbe bello avere un fondello con viti oppure ( e sarebbe il top) un fondello avvitato con apertura a farfalla. - Aggiungere al modulo la funzione del timer; personalmente ritengo più utile il timer rispetto al secondo orario.
