Title: Will buy again
Review: Bought the black w/black background. Great fit, good battery life, simple setup, stylish but not flashy, features are consistent, easy to clean if you need to do so. Will buy again in a different color.

Title: Great functional and pretty durable watch.
Review: Great watch, like appearance, blue accents are nice touch. Large numbers are great. Personally, i don't care much for split screen, and prefer more traditional, clean look. Backlit (blue color) screen is great; clearly visible and not too bright. More functions, than I need, but I'll take it. Very satisfied with purchase and price.

Title: I love this watch!
Review: I love this watch! I've had it for over six months now, and it's holding up pretty well and functioning perfectly. I love the look of it, especially the little pops of color. Nothing too flashy, but not boring either. It is a larger watch, but some reviewers make it sound like you'll be walking around with a wall clock on your wrist! That's ridiculous. It's not that much bigger than other sport watches I've owned, and it is really practical in its ease of reading quickly while active or at night. The poly (I guess that's how you would decribe the material) "crystal" does scratch fairly easily if you use it for hard use activities like I often do (working in the yard, working out, etc.). I try to keep in mind that I bought it for that purpose and that it only cost around $20, so it's not that big of a deal. But, it definitely looks more expensive that it actually is, and I enjoy wearing it out and about to nicer places too. I've heard some people mention that the buttons get pushed too easily, changing modes without then meaning to. I've only had that happen on a few occasions when I bumped the buttons into something. I've never had them get pushed just from bending my wrist. The upside of having buttons that are a little larger and more accessible makes this watch really handy for timing things quickly and easily. I find myself using it for this on a regular basis. The water resistance seems to be pretty good too. I've worn it in the pool and in the shower, and I've never had a problem. Probably wouldn't recommend diving with it or wearing it in a hot tub, but for most daily use, you should be fine.This won't apply to everyone, but do note that if the colored parts come in contact with bug repellent, it will crinkle and soften. I took it off for applying the bug repellent, but then I strapped it back onto my wrist and wore it for several hours. When I took it off, wherever my skin (with the chemical on it) had contacted the colored parts on the backside of the watch, the paint was basically ruined. Thankfully, it was only on the backside, so you can't see it when I'm wearing it. I've had plastics get damaged in the past in the same way, so it's definitely not just for this watch. But, it is something worth keeping in mind.Over all, it's a great watch for the money, and I wouldn't have felt cheated even if I had paid an extra $10 for it. Great looking watch for a great price. It's hard to ask for much more.

Title: Love the price and the quality for the price
Review: I wear this everyday. Cheaper than replacing a battery on the old watch. Just buy a new watch.

Title: The Best Watch I Currently Own For Under $25
Review: First of all, I would like to say that this the best watch I've had in this price range. It is very appealing and comes with all features you would expect from a sports watch. The build quality is very sturdy and not cheap in the slightest way.The packaging the watch came arrived in good shape and was wrapped around the display stand. There were no instructions included but you can figure most of the functions by fiddling around with the watch for a couple minutes. The watch arrived much earlier then I expected, only took 3 days for the package to arrive in my mailbox after I ordered it. (I chose standard shipping, but it was most likely delivered so fast because I live close to the shipping carrier)This watch has amazing functionality and the buttons are responsive to the touch. Sometimes it's a little too sensitive and I accidentally press it, but this is a very minor nit pick as it rarely happens to me. The features include a stop watch, date/days of the week, backlit display, and water resistance up to 330 ft.The red color encompassed around the watch and buttons is very vivid and will definitely catch your attention when you glace over it. The wrist straps felt a little bit flimsy but that was most likely due to how ginormous this watch is! The size of this watch is massive and covers my entire wrist. I actually like that as I can easily see the numbers on the screen. I love wearing this watch while jogging as I can accurately tell the time. It also makes a great compliment for swimming as I regularly use it in the pool since it is water resistant. The style of the watch also gives it that cool sleek look that will look great when you wear it in public. If I didn't know any better, I would of that this was an expensive watch that would of cost at least $100. That's how you know a watch is of superior quality when it deceives you like that.Even though this may be considered as a "cheap" watch, do not correlate that to an inferior knock-off product. This is one of the best bang for your buck sports watches you can get for the price and you will regret not buying this great watch!TL;DR [Buy this watch, it is a fantastic sports watch that has style, functionality, and durability]

Title: Durability
Review: Great look, extremely durable this is my second buy, the first one the band broke while I was swimming, way to deep to recover, but I am sure it's still ticking 300 ft below the waves.

Review: Great watch. Stylish, durable. My only point for improvement would be that the watch band is a little hard. That said, I paid less than $50 for this watch, so it's great all around.

Review: Hace nada que lucia este reloj que me encantó.Me gustan mucho los relojes, tengo unos cuantos en casa pero jamás pensé que, luciendo un vistoso 330FT (unos 100 metros) se me fuera a salir un botón de pulsación y a entrar agua en una piscina de 3 metros de profundidad....Al mirar la hora ya fuera de la piscina me he quedado sorprendido....Si lo quieres para lucirlo, ok pero olvidate de ir al agua y eso que en la ducha me ha aguantado.Decepción total.
