Review: Great quality comfortable office daily beater - This is an amazing value watch. Compared to Casio/Timex , this is a great value, especially considering this is all stainless steel vs. resin with metallic coating. It doesn’t feel like junk. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a watch you’ll necessarily want to wear to the next dinner party or wedding, but for just every day wear it’s awesome. Everything functions as it should and is very intuitive. Gives you all you need. The retro look is fun and it doesn’t look like a toy. On my 7.25 inch wrist it’s extremely comfortable. At 34.5mm, when I first put it on, it looked small. After a couple hours of typing and looking at it, I changed my mind. It’s not too small. I’ve just been programmed over the years to think anything under 40mm is too small for a man. It’s actually a great fit and appropriate size for what it is. I’m summary, if you’re thinking about it, go for it. If nothing else, it’s a charming office beater. Most of all, it’s the complete opposite of pretentious. It takes some confidence initially to pull it off, but once you have, it’s personally rewarding. Update: the hourly chime is nice and loud. Love it.
Review: Full. Steel. Digital. Watch. Take notes, Casio. And every other digital watch maker. - Yes, the LED light is useless. Yes, it's not as big as modern men's watches. No, I don't care. Why? Because this isn't chrome-plated resin. Steel, baby. Steel. Behold its stainless glory! And that retro look - based on a model from around 1984, the Armitron 40/6343, aka the Swimmer. This new model is called "The Rubik." Every time I look at it, it makes me smile. It keeps pretty good time, it's now about 2 seconds faster than my atomic radio clock since I synced them up about 10 days ago. It's supposed to be a Miyota (Citizen) movement in there, from their affordable Q&Q line of watches, model M173. They certainly look like the same display in pictures, but advantage goes to Armitron for the steel case instead of resin. Also, the mesh band is brilliant and doesn't pull hair. The other style band this watch can come with is known to do that, from what I've heard. The only real knock I have on this watch (besides the light) is the acrylic crystal, but at this price point it's not a big deal to me. So long as you don't mind the light being a meme - heck, even if you do mind - this watch is a solid retro throwback that oozes that 80's style. Also, did I mention it's cased in stainless steel? ^_^

### ⭐⭐⭐ Very Retro...Maybe a bit too retro...
*by M***T on September 30, 2023*

The best way to describe this watch is that it looks and feels like it was manufactured in 1983 but sat on a shelf in a Kmart until it was finally sold in 2023 when the store went out of business (and the battery was miraculously still good). If you want a vintage watch that is a perfect replica, warts and all, then oh boy this is the watch for you!!! The display and watch itself are both rather small which could be considered either a good or bad thing for the person wearing it. It could be a comfortable watch for a Woman but smallish for a large man It can be a bit hard to read if you don't have great vision. The light is pretty much useless like you would expect from a watch from the early 1980s. On the plus side, it is well made and heavy for it's size and has a nice band. This is not a watch for everyone, but I can see some people really liking it if they know what they are getting. It's a 3.5 out of 5 for me, but since Amazon doesn't allow half stars I round down.
