User Ratings and Reviews
1 Stars Watch popped out of band
I purchased this watch at Wal-Mart, and after a month or two the strap separated from the watch on the side of the buckle. It pulled away from the watch where the two upper buttons are located. The watch could be hooked back into the strap; but the strap remained loose and the upper part of the watch separated from it frequently. This continued for another month or so until today, when the watch popped completely out of the strap and was lost somewhere. This is a terrible design and I would never purchase another one.
4 Stars Great features but NOT durable
I got one of these as a Christmas gift about four years ago. Within a year the painted silver-blue bezel was chipping off (another user has posted pictures of the same thing). I kept wearing it even though it looked more and more shabby. In about two and a half years the watch alarm stopped going off. It thought it was working, but it didn’t make any noise. I don’t know why; other functions sometimes made noise. Three years in, it started not running all the time, and rather than try replacing the battery I just decided to switch back to my 30-lap Ironman which was still running on my dresser all that time. Oh, also somewhere in there I did start having occasional trouble with the watch band slipping off one of the retainer pegs on the watch, but it was easy to fix (and the watch never fell off my wrist).
That being said, I’m actually ordering another one now. Why? The features are great. It has multiple alarms (you can even set them based on day vs weekend) and two time zones (which is great for me because I travel a lot and have a hard time subtracting hours on the fly). I haven’t quite figured out the log feature, but I used the interval feature a couple times and it was keen. For $35, maybe it’s worth it. Though I will order a color that looks better when the paint chips off.
So - good features, but don’t expect it to look pretty for very long.
5 Stars exactly what i wanted!
i got this watch for my daughter for her birthday and ordered it at the last minute. she has had 2 others just like it and so i wanted to get the same one but money is tight and i couldnt pay the $80 or more dollars other places wanted. i was so happy to find it here at short notice for a fraction of what i would hhave paid elsewhere. excellent quality and functions perfectly she loves it!
2 Stars Downhill after six months
I loved this watch at first…then about six months in the plastic around the buttons started popping off.
The watch strap stays on somehow but by eight months all four buttons were exposed and I couldn’t get the plastic to stay around the buttons anymore. Finally the battery died at around eleven months and I won’t be replacing it. The thing I don’t like is that you can’t replace the strap. I would like to keep a watch for years but with the design on this one once the strap breaks down that’s it.
4 Stars good watch good value
Spent a lot of time comparing options and this watch was the best for its price. A little complicated to set, but I think I have the hang of it. I needed chrono, 2:1 interval training, lap memory and a good look.
Nice surprise–the light is totally awesome for the early morning runs. Drawback–not the easiest to get off when I’m sweaty and the band is too plastic-y feeling.
Overall very good watch for the money, I’ve had no trouble
