Title: EXCELLENT inexpensive watch.
Review: This is one great watch. Because of its low price, I thought it might be cheap or silly looking, but I figured at this price, I'd try it. It's neither. I own a couple of dozen watches, including some close to high-end watches. This is now one of my favorite watches.It's comfortable to wear due to its light weight and velcro strap. With other watchbands you have only limited adjustments. I always find one hole too tight and the next one too loose. With this watch band, it's infinitely adjustable so it fits perfectly.And, unlike a lot of my watches, it's not only not heavy, it's positively lightweight. I barely even know its there. Compare that with some enormous watches that feel like tuna fish cans strapped to my wrist. I often wear watches that are 40mm wide or more, but this is one step smaller than that, and I'd forgotten how much more pleasant it is to wear a medium-sized watch.The dial is completely legible even at a moderate angle (not an extreme angle, though, since it's digital). It shows the time, the day of the week, and the date. Plus the seconds. Adjustment requires using the little booklet that came with it, but I think I almost have it memorized by now. It's similar to a Casio but a little more streamlined and just a little less "tech-y" looking. It looks rugged and purposeful, not silly at all. Some of my Casios make me look like a computer science major, and I definitely don't want that.It also has a light if you need it -- and maybe some other things I haven't discovered yet.And the price! Holy smokes! Where can you get a great watch that works well and is this lightweight and comfortable for this low a price? Not often. If you need a good, solid, reliable, comfortable, and good-looking watch, here it is.

Title: Great price. Great watch.
Review: I didn’t want to wear my Apple Watch while hiking in a rugged area. So, I purchased this watch. It fits my lifestyle perfectly. It keeps good time and gives you the date. It is very easy to read. It also does many other things which I have no interest in learning.

Title: Nice watch
Review: The watch strap is the only downfall. You will notice fast wear and tear. Other than that good price. It’s lightweight. Water resistant. And it has a green light for night time view.

Title: Perfect for outdoor sports and motorcycle, cycling, scooter riding and skateboarding
Review: My key reasons for purchasing the Armitron MD0699 watch are sports related.1. It has a 300 Feet Water Depth Resistance2. It has excellent side view visibility3. A strong canvas wrist band with Velcro4. It has a center button to illuminate the LCD when its dark.When I am riding my motorcycle in particular, I need to be able to glance quickly and see what time it is. That means I need a watch that is easy to read from the side, since my arms are holding the handle bar.I have a cell phone, but it's zipped up in my protective riding jacket giving me GPS and Music. Its a lot of effort to pull to the side of the road, remove it from the jacket pocket, take off my riding gloves, unlock the phone, just to know what time it is. This watch keeps things simple.I also don't want to expose my cellphone to the rain. This watch had 300 Feet of water resistance. A rainy day is going to make me late.Really important for X-Game sports like Motorcycles, Cycling, Skateboarding is the heavy duty strong watch with Velcro strap. If my wrist gets hot, or wet, I can easily loosen the band. If I need to secure it tighter for those times I might be exploring a cave, I can tighten it up and know it's not going anywhere.I love the modern technology of a cell phone, but when I want to get rough and dirty, I want something durable, easy to use, survives the elements and I don't have to worry about breaking.Armitron has over 49 years of experience in designing watches.

Title: Great for basic
Review: I bought this for my son, because I already had one, and he liked it and wanted one. Now my dad wants one, so I plan to order another for him. My dad likes that the numbers are large enough for him to read, including the date. For a cheap watch, we collectively like the comfort of the velcro strap, how well the velcro holds, the font size of the numbers and the volume of the alarm. It also has held up to construction work, mechanical work, and being put through the washing machine. This is a tough watch.

Title: Great value for the money.
Review: Armitron never let's me down when it comes to an inexpensive work watch. I haul and work with concrete and I'm hard on watches and watch bands. I usually order a watch every 6-8 months because the bands and pins break. The watches however still work great!! Would recommend this watch to many because they're durable, water resistant, and inexpensive!

Title: Perfect sports watch
Review: This watch is perfect for someone who needs something simple, but accurate. This is great for a coach, referee, or a starter watch for someone who doesn’t want tons of gadgets.

Review: Bought this watch for the wrist strap but will end up keeping it for an actual watch. This is because the "EL", I'm assuming is called "easy light", works just good as my old watch as it basically just as bright as my old Timex Indiglo's back-light. The Timex's chime also broke after numerous battery replacement's so I decided to keep this as an actual watch. Can't go wrong for $20. Not the most enjoyable experience setting the time & date vs the Timex layout though. Normally use the chronograph daily so I hope this watch will work just as good as the Timex for that as well.

Review: I'm 5'5 with thin wrists and this fits well on me. Doesn't feel cheap, doesn't look cheap. Doesn't look bulky and doesn't look small.The display is large and clear and the backlight is modern looking.There is no countdown timer but there is a stop watch, 2 time-zones, and an option for military/normal time display. This is a watch for telling time and basic workouts such as weight training, running, swimming laps etc.The verdict: Good looking, simple, basic digital watch that feels no different than a Timex or any other name-brand watch with a Velcro strap in the same class, and it's half the price.
