"bud"

This watch comes as shown (and arrived very quickly from Amazon). It works well and is easy to set. The only problem is the velcro band. It is not long enough to slip over my hand - I have to thread it though the slot to fasten (not easy to do one-handed). This is advertised as an adult man's watch but the band is more for a smaller person (by the way I don't have large hands - I only wish that I could palm a basketball). 3 stars

"got less than I paid for..."

I wasn't expecting much for a $15 watch, but I got even less with what arrived. This is a very cheap watch in terms of quality. The band is extremely short (can't just slip this thing on and off your wrist) and stiff (making it uncomfortable for running/jogging). Its made of the type of plastic you would find on promotional watches you get for free from Burger King or Wendy's promtional tie-ins. Although extremely light, its actually bigger and thicker than one would imagine (makes it harder to run with). Because of the position of the seconds on this watch (above the minutes, not to the right...look at the pic on the site), its makes it difficult to read while running or doing short sprint intervals when seconds matter.

The pros (why it got 2 instead of 1). The indiglo fades away, so you can press the button once, keep running and it stays lit for a few seconds. For $15, I'm not feeling that bad about the purchase.

But save the $15, put in a few more bucks and get a decent watch. 2 stars

"Nicely sized interface, but hope your wrist is small"

Pros: The user interface is strong, it's straightforward, the watch is easy to program. It has a large LED display and all features work as advertised. If I was willing to buy a larger band for this, I'd actually use it. If you're buying it for a younger teenager, they'll likely be happy.

Cons: I have a relatively average 8 1/2" wrist. If your hand and wrist are considerably smaller, this will fit you. I have to completely separate the band from the loop, which barring a better word, 'sucks' when putting the watch on. It's a flat out pain to put on my wrist. I don't bother to try to wear this watch and will give it away when I find the right person that can wear it.

But if I was 13 or so, running cross country, I'd love it.

"McClain"

This is the best watch for my job. It has been to Iraq, Germany, and the USA. It is still the best purchase for me this year. 5 stars

"Good watch for the price"

I thought this was a very good watch for the price. I have only had it for a couple of days. It is fairly light, however if you have a big wrist you may want to consider another watch, because it could be a tight fit. It is a velcro band, so just a sports watch 100%. I wear it while running. The timer is great on this thing. It is also very easy to read, which is important to me while running. 4 stars
