I bought a watch from Armitron before and that watch lasted I think 3-4 years, because the rist band got too worn out and broke, but it lasted a long time for a 20 buck watch. You can't go wrong with Armitron. They are just great watches at a great price.
Also, just for some untold info about the way this watch works is that the days of the week in the big circle darken for each day, like if it was sunday the middle of the circle would darken. And in the smaller circle were it says T2(time two) it shows the date (like 06 or 15). It shows PM and AM next to the time on the left. IT COMES WITH A VERY DETAILED MANUAL. The stainless still is very nice and is located where it says set, adj, light, and mode. The sides where it has the buttons is also stainless steel and the two parts on the band. This watch is also very shiny and sharp looking, which makes it looks very expensive.
This watch has exactly what you need for every day use. It shows the day, date, time, seconds, and PM and Am all on the face of the watch. All of the features that this watch has is as follows...
1.A time telling Mode (hours, minutes, seconds, date, and day of the week).
2.A Calendar Mode (month, date, and day of the week, but there is NO YEAR).
3.(2) 24 hour alarms.
4.Hourly chime: One 'beep' every full hour.
5.A Chronograph Mode: hours, minutes, seconds, and 1/100th of a second with lap operation.
6.A Countdown Timer
7.A Second Time Zone
8.A 12 or 24 hour clock
9.Water resistant 330 feet.
10.And a light you press when it gets dark to lighten up everything.
A perfect watch indeed. Armitron Men's 408188GMG Chronograph Gray and Black Digital Sport Watch

This is a great looking, sturdy, easy to use watch. It has all the features needed by an outgoing, sports-enthusiast guy. The night light is very cool and the display is easy to read day or night. The instruction manual could be a little more detailed about the features.
Armitron was my first brand of sport watch and now the only brand I will wear. My previous Armitron watch lasted 5 years and finally gave out after uncountable trips including hiking, rock climbing, scuba diving, surfing, swimming, running, etc. I like the size of the face, easy to see while working out. On this style the buttons are easier to work. LOVE THIS WATCH!!
First off, this watch is pretty big. Way larger than I was expecting, but it still looks nice on my wrist. I've gotten a few compliments and I've only worn it to the gym a few times. The strap feels sturdy and all the functions work as advertised. I ordered mine from Amazon and for some reason there were no instructions in the box, but Armitron has decent instructions on their website. I haven't figured out how to silence the loud beep every time I press a button and at this point I don't think there is any way to do so, as I've looked all over online. Overall, a solid, safe pick for a watch to wear to the gym or just as a casual sports watch.
Sounds like some of the reviewers work for Casio? I've had 3 Armitron watches and just ordered another (pictured above). They all work just fine...especially for the price. I'm a Personal Trainer and active athlete and I have never had a problem with my Armitron watches. I wear them day and night, swimming, basketball, training, etc...just takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Oh wait...that's the other guys too. :-)
This watch looks much more impressive from the box, than on the picture that is showed. It is VERY SHINY (something I like). The buttons on the side look very awesome as well. It feels very sturdy. The negative thing I need to say about this watch is that the back light is not as bright as other Armitron watches. However, I do like how the light fades away, instead of flashing on, and then off.'
