Armitron Sport Men's Digital Chronograph Resin Strap Watch, 40-8231

Really nice looking watch, the face is not as huge as I thought it was. Standard sport watch features, stop watch, timer, alarm, military time, and back light.In case anyone was wondering, of you start the time or stop watch and go back to the clock screen, it will continue in the background. I went swimming at the beach with it once so far, the ocean was pretty rough, for tossed around by a couple waves and it held up perfectly.Some people don't like the little clip at the end of the band but I think it's a nice addition, keeps the band in place.I think I'll be buying more watches from armitron, excellent quality, reasonable price, you can't go wrong.***Update*** So i've had this watch for about 2 months, i've showered with it, went swimming at the beach, and even wore it while soaking in a hot sulphur pool in the volcanic island of dominica and it handled it without a problem. I don't usually take time to update reviews or even write them to be honest but i think the brand deserves some props. If anyone wants a watch that they can swim and snorkel with, this one is perfect for it. And if the other watches from armitron are made like this one, they are probably just as good.

Great watch! It feels high quality and has a lot a everything a simpleton like me will ever need in a watch. The Instructions are very easy to understand so I could set alarms and 24 hour format with ease. It fits nicely and has good readability in direct sunlight.

It’s a nice looking watch and has everything needed, however I returned it as the bezel is too big for my wrist.

This is an awesome watch. It looks great. Works great. Perfect size.

This rugged watch is a joy to own. It’s lightweight and comfortable. Good value for the money.

I like this watch. I bought one on a hunch specifically for work versus a G-Shock. I would still have the first one except I accidentally ran it over with my car after about a year of having it. That's the only thing that beat it so far. I've had the second one just over a year and it's been through a lot, still runs like a champ.Quite user friendly. The watch itself is quite light in weight. I would not use this as a complete sports watch though, I would call it an active type of watch, for work, riding a bike or hiking, something that wouldn't require free wrist motion or else it will get in the way, as will most wrist watches. The alarms/chimes are loud enough for me, can wake me up and can hear pretty good in loud environments. I have taken the watch down to 15 feet of water and no foggy bezel. The compass is not functional so it is primarily a decoration but it can give you a general idea I guess if you're good with direction. There is a dummy button for you to grasp when settings. The Armitron website does not have exact instructions for this model watch so keep the instructions you get or you will have some trouble as some of there watches come with more and fewer options.For the price you can't go wrong but you shouldn't expect a $100 watch either. This is a great all around watch to have when you don't want to mess up your good watch but still want it to look attractive. As with anything, there are lemons, you could spend $10,000 on a watch and by chance it's faulty, that's a risk you take with anything you purchase.Pros:- Lightweight- Looks great- Good display and lighting- Waterproof- Day/Weekday display- Alarm/Chimes- Dummy button for grasping when changing settings- 2 Time Zone Options- Timer/Stopwatch/Alarm capabilities- 12/24 hour modes- Comfortable bandCons:- Not really a sports watch, just looks sporty- User can tell it's cheaper design- Non-functional Compass

I bought the watch because it has a tachymeter scale. That wasn't the only reason, but it was the deciding factor. I have not seen another digital chronograph at any price with this feature, so I figured I'd give this watch a try because of its low price. At the worst, I'd have a pretty stylish beater watch for weekends.What I have is a watch that looks good enough to wear everyday to my business-casual workplace. On my small wrist it looks rather big but not to the point of looking oversized. it fits well and is quite comfortable. This doesn't strike me as a watch for a triathlete, but for someone hiking, camping, or just on a road trip, it's plenty of watch for the money.The bezel is brighter than it appears in the picture and stands out from the stainless steel accents on the strap, but this keeps it from looking like other watches that I have that are all black plastic. There are gimmicky styling details, like the compass points on the stationary bezel, and the display itself seems to be of a school of design where clutter = sophistication. Once you see where everything is, though, it all makes sense. Except for the subdial at 3 o'clock. Not sure what's going on there.I hope this watch holds up as well as other reviews seem to indicate that it will. (I read the reviews after purchasing the watch.) It is one of the more accurate watches that I own--a collection with a lot of Casio watches--and was easy to set up. In addition to the tachymeter, the inner bezel also has clock markings which not only are essential to the tachymeter not just being for show but also allow the watch to be used as a compass, assuming you know how to use an analog watch as a compass. It's not like I do this that often, but I like that I can. It adds two more functions to a watch that already does a lot for a nice price.So buy it for whatever reason you like.

This watch band pinches my skin and pulls my hairs. All the time. The watch is great.
