This is a surprisingly attractive watch for the price. Functions are useful with a good stopwatch and reasonable timer plus alarm, although I really only needed it for the dual time. It is light, slim, stylish and easy to read for the most part. Sometimes in daylight you have to angle your arm a little. Well, that’s no biggie. My only issue is the beeping sound when you change functions – there doesn’t appear to be any way to turn that off!! My watch didn’t come with any instructions but it was very easy to figure out – except for that annoying beeping!

Still, if you are in the market for an inexpensive, snazzy looking watch, this is a good buy.

It’s not a fancy watch, not by a long shot. It is, however, thin, functional, and decent looking for a sports watch. Also, it’s rectangular, and that can be an aesthetic plus. It fits on a RoadID wristband, and for me, that’s a huge plus.

Regarding visibility from angles: It’s quite readable from most angles but when viewing it from a vertical angle above; if you wear it on the underside of your wrist, you may have problems. If you wear it on top (like most do), it should not be a problem at all. Then again, if you want a super visible easy to read watch, pick something else, preferably with hands.

My husband bought this watch at a large and well know sporting goods store for twice the price. After his father spotted the watch and expressed that he too wanted one, my husband went back to the store where he purchased his. When he found they no longer had the watch he promptly took to the internet to find and purchase it. Amazon not only had the same watch but they were also selling for half the price. Great watch for a great value from Amazon. I will now look to Amazon before purchasing from big name stores.

While I normally rely upon my cellphone for the time, I decided before leaving the country that I needed something a bit more trustworthy while skipping across multiple time zones. I didn’t want something fancy enough to have to worry about being stolen, nor was I looking to show off or ‘flaunt’ any type of wealth. My priorities: comfort, simplicity and performance.

Check. Check. Check. The square design gives off a nice, classy look, while so far it is the most comfortable wristband of any watch I’ve ever owned. It is easy to read and adjust the time, with the normal package of a functioning alarm and stopwatch. I am completely satisfied.

I’m not giving this five stars because it is the best watch out there, nor do I think it is an amazing value. But this was exactly what I wanted when I began looking for watches, and that’s the only qualification I use when rating.

I bought this watch because many of the other LED watches I looked at (Diesel and Fossil) received negative reviews for being hard to program. This watch’s programming is pretty self explanatory, I feel the watch is fashionable, is comfortable, and so far has given me no issues. It glows a nice green when you press the EL button and you can see it find during the day.
