Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the watch. Some mention that it's simple to use and has the basic functions they need. The initial set-up was easy, though the included manual was rather sparse. Starting the countdown is quite easy. The stopwatch is pretty good and even has a split function. However, some have complained that it does not come with instructions, the small print instructions are not helping, and it gets tricky to use.

Review after three years: My favorite watch. Nice looking, durable & inexpensive.

Review after three years: My favorite watch. Nice looking, durable & inexpensive.
I am writing this review after owning this watch for over three years. This watch is my favorite out of all the daily use watches I have ever owned. For the past twenty something years I have worn assorted sport type digital watches and they would all have their pros and cons. With this Armitron model, I have found no major faults. The watch came quickly and was in perfect condition. It was packed with an owners insert that went over the basic functions of the watch. The functions are easy to use and navigate, the display is big (maybe too big for some?) and easy to read. The watch crystal and band are as durable as one can ask for a watch of this price. Additionally, I have never gotten so many compliments on a watch before, and my dress watch is a Tag Heuer AquaRacer! I highly recommend this watch. I'm yet to even replace the battery after three years and near daily wear. My only caveat would be that the water resistance claims of this watch may be exaggerated; I swam in the ocean with this watch and while it did not break, there was some condensation inside the bezel for a few days - after that incident I never submerged it again. The watch was, however, worn in and exposed to some very nasty weather and I experienced no further water issues.UPDATE 1/2015: After a little less than four years of ownership (I bought it March of 2011) the band on this watch snapped while I was taking it off. I wholeheartedly stand by my five star rating and figured I would update this review and mention that the four years of steadfast performance this inexpensive watch provided impressed me so much, I bought another.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016
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.

The design defied my expectations. The keen attention to details is unparalleled. It is very light weight, feels nice on wrist. It is too early to comment on durability.
