Review of Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Leather Watch #EW1272-01E

This citizen watch is an excellent watch. It looks good, keeps accurate time and is certainly no problem, since the light gives it its power.
I would recommend it to others with no hesitation.

Review of Orient Men's 'Black Mako' Automatic Rubber Strap Dive Watch #CEM65004B

First, I am Mike, Judy'husband, and I purchased the Orient Mens Black Mako in Jan.2009.I have been 100% satisfied with the Orient Divers Watch in the time I've had it. I live in Florida in the winter and have used it in swimming and snorkeling.It is extremely comfortable to wear outside and in the water. The band is very flexible and soft and adjusts to any size wrist. The face is big and easy to read in the water and the hands, numbers, and markings light up very nicely in the dark.
The day, date, and time are very easy to set.It has kept perfect time since day one. (Be aware that it is an automatic watch and if you take it off and put it down, it will stop running in about 3-4 days.) It is a great looking divers watch and I have received many compliments. I could have spent less for a dive watch, but for all the features, comfort, and looks in the Orient, I really beleive it is the best buy in the price range.

Review of Armitron Men's Dress Round Blue Dial Watch #204571BLSV

This watch was purchased as a gift for a young man but he selected it. Look, style, functionality, and cost were all factors and this one came out on top. He loves it, is very proud to wear it. He's only had it a few weeks but Armitron is a good name and I'm sure it will last him for many years if he takes care of it. It's heavy for a watch but he doesn't seem to mind. That might matter to some men.

Review of Swiss Military Hanowa Men's Sealander Watch #06-4095-04-079

Great look, nice rubber wrist, i had it for over a year, you get a very nice swiss watch ideal for outdoors activity, yatching, sailing, no risk of loosing the wrist band because of cheap plastic like "casios", it is real rubber and last forever !!! the crysral holds very much of the usual bumps, without visible damage, but not completely scratch resistant like sapphire, but for this price you can't complain. I recommend it very much, over many other much expensive brands like Swiss Army and Tag Heuer, maybe not the same brand status but great look and affordable price for a swiss wrist watch.

Review of Grateful Dead - Dancing Skeletons - Watch Leather Band

Review of Geneva Platinum Black Dial Wire Beaded Band Fashion Watch 

I adore this watch and have gotten several compliments on it.However, the band is quite large.I may have a small wrist but I had to have every possible link removed at a watch repair shop (for only a few dollars) and it still slides around a little on my wrist.Despite that I really do like it a lot.Easy to read face, almost silent ticking, and the unique, quite pretty beaded band are all great.The guy at the watch repair shop ever commented on how nice this watch is!

Review of ONiX MP3 Analog Dial Watch - Leather Band - 512MB

I got this watch for christmas this year and it broke the first day. I was able to fix it by taking the back off and re-screwing the tiny screws that are suppose to hold the computer board in place. But that only lasted a couple of hours. Also the little cap you see in the pic does not stay there, it just falls off and hangs. The only thing I can say that I like is the style and the sound quality is great. Its too bad they didnt make it a more reliable watch. I wish someone had left this for me to read before I asked for it for christmas. Oh yea dont expect any instructions the ones you get don't even belong to the watch you buy. So the instrustrions are useless. It came with no instruction or warrenty info......

Product Description
This sharp looking MP3 wristwatch has 512MB of memory and a USB connectivity port built in and displays accurate time on its stylish face.

Review of Grateful Dead - Black/Gold Bears Watch Leather Band

The watch is OK...nothing special though. It was delivered from this vendor with a battery shoved inside the shipping box...no instructions, no nothing. I live miles from any jeweler but had to schlep around for half a day to find someone who could get the back off the thing to install the battery. He gets the back off to find a dead battery inside the watch! So I'm out five bucks for his trouble, another five for gas and maybe five hours of driving and looking around and waiting on the watch to get a battery. You can bet I won't be buying from these people again.

Product Description
A basic black face is used to highlight the dancing bears etched directly into the glass bezel. Classic chrome hour and minute hands are highlighted by a lightning bolt second hand. The stylish case encloses a Japanese quartz movement and is water reisitant to 30 meters. A fine black leather band finishes this fantastic timepiece.

Review of Atomic Talking Time and Date Alarm Watch W/Silver Expansion Band

This watch is not good for people with low vision, becuase the hour hand and the minute hand have low constrast, they seem to blend with the white watch faceThis watch is not water resistance, its instruction said not to use in raindy days.The printed operating instruction is very tiny.If you only use the voice output, then this is a reasonable watch, the speech weren't very clear but I think you would get use to it.

Product Description
The most attractive atomic watch that so many of us have been waiting for. It speaks the time, day and date in a pleasant male voice. FEATURES large black numbers that are easy to see against the white background the hour and minute hands light up in the dark face measures 1.5" in diameter (suited for a male size wrist) the face is surrounded by a polished and brushed silver-tone case operates on one replaceable battery (INC)** This watch is with a silver expansion band **

Review of Luminox Men's EVO Navy SEAL Colormark Watch #3059

I'll start with the good-- it keeps great time, light weight for its size, and excellent visibility, especially at night. I like the style.

The watch that I purchased was apparently defective and was not watertight. I sent it for warranty service within the first month of purchasing it, and it was repaired and returned. It has not shown any signs of the problem since (no fogging of the crystal). The band is low quality and the pin holding the clasp broke under normal use. I still need to get this fixed.

Review of Oyster Style (20mm Black PVD, Double-Lock Clasp, Curved & Straight Ends, MB5918A)

Review of Vibralite 3 (Blue with Blue Velcro (R) Brand Fasteners Band)

I bought this item for my son who has a bladder problem. This is great to put this on him as a friendly "go to the bathroom" reminder and he won't have to be embarrassed by his teachers telling him to go potty in front of his friends.

I did find this watch extremely hard to program as the instructions were not clear by any means and very confusing. It tells you about the different features and the different alarms, but it is not clear how to set it up to go off at certain times. I had 3 college educated people besides myself take a look at this watch and they could not figure it out. Thank God a co-worker who is more technically inclined than myself figured it out.

Good product, poor instructions.

Product Description
The vibration on your wrist from VibraLITE3 will remind you to do any important thing without annoying others. What's really great is that you don't have to hear the alarm to know that it's signalling you. This watch is especially nice for pilots, students (taking exams), and of course the deaf and hard of hearing. Since the watch also features an Auto Reload Countdown Timer, it can be the ideal answer for those who need reminding of times to take medicine, scheduled daily activities and more. VibraLITE3 is ideal for noisy environments. Reminders from VibraLITE3 are especially helpful for: Medical Conditions/Medication Reminders, Time Management, Timing Procedures, Tests or Presentations, Self Regulation/Keeping Focused, Noisy Environments, Great as a Travel Alarm, Any time you don't want to disturb others. The uses are endless! VibraLITE3 features: Vibration Alarm - (auto-shutoff after approx. 20 sec.), Auto Repeat Countdown Timer, Electro-Luminescent Back Light, Second Clock for Second Time Zone, 12 or 24 Hour Clock Choice, Date Display, Stop Watch, Two Alarm Settings, Chime Option for Alarms, Hourly Alert Option, Water Resistant (30 meters), Stainless Steel Back, 1-Year Warranty (on watch functions only).

Review of BANDA WYOMING BUFFALO LEATHER FLIP LOCK CLASP DEPLOYANT WATCH BAND CHRONO SPORT DOUBLE RIDGE DESIGN-REAL ITALIAN CALF LEATHER-20 mm BROWN COLOR

I just received this watch band. I have been looking for a nice band for my NRA (National Rifle Association) watch. It was a Christmas gift from my daughter a few years ago. I haven't been able to wear it much because the band was too short. I put this new band on the watch and am nothing but pleased with it. The gold trim on the deployant clasp is a really nice touch. It makes the watch look really handsome. I will be able to enjoy the watch for many years to come.
I have only one complaint. It is almost too insignificant to mention, but I will. The band did not come with the springloaded pins to attach the bracelet to the watch. Every band I have purchased in the past had these pins included. Come on guys. The band cost 34.00 (including shipping. Those little pins cost next to nothing. Luckily I had some extra pins. Other than that issue I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Review of Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-54A

What can I say, I love this watch. My history with watches has not been good. I seem to destroy them after a year with no apparent fault of my own. My luck changed about 8 years ago when I invested in my first Citizen watch. It ran for 7 years before it started flaking out on me, and I couldn't be happier considering my luck with previous watches. Lets face it, after 7 years with the same watch, I was ready for a change anyway. I considered some with automatic movements, I considered some with exotic names and faces, but in the end, I couldn't pass up on getting another Citizen with a 5 year warranty.

My only pet peeve with my last watch was having to set the date every other month. This was not a fault of the watch, just the way MOST watches with manual dates are. So when I learned that Citizen had watches with perpetual dates that stay correct even through leap years, I couldn't pass it up! I was skeptical at first that the function would not work as advertised, but it does! It's flawless. I can now DEPEND on the date feature on my watch rather than have to look at a calendar to verify the correct date.

The watch movement is very accurate. Because the second hand comes to a stop when you're setting it, it's very easy to set the watch to the exact second of an atomic clock. After doing this, and tracking the time, I'm pleased to report that this watch only gains about 1 second per month. It doesn't get much better than that folks!

I also like that this watch shows the day of the week. Very helpful while on vacation when all the days seem to blend together. If you put the watch in "Calendar" mode, the second hand freezes on the proper month. I prefer the second hand to move since I never loose track of which month it is.

This watch has an alarm. I don't use it myself, but I did test it out. The beeping is not overly loud and I doubt it would wake a heavy sleeper such as myself. It would work fine for daytime reminders though. The alarm, since the second hand has to sweep around to arrive at its set time, is really slow to set. I say slow, I mean it might take 30 seconds to a minute to set, but I think that's pretty slow compared to a digital watch. I guess all things are relative right?

One important feature I've only seen mentioned once in the other reviews is that this watch features a second time on it. - Like a travel time if you're in a different time zone. It's super easy to set, and it doesn't throw off the second hand at all. So lets say you get off a plane and you gained 2 hours, you simple put the watch in this alternate time mode, spin the bezel once in the proper direction you want the second hand to move, and it will automatically stop exactly one hour difference. Spin the bezel again and the minute hand takes off a second time and stops another hour advanced. Pop the bezel back in and you watch is perfectly set for this new time zone. This takes all of 5 or 10 seconds. On the trip back, simply take the watch out of this mode, and put it back on "time" mode and it automatically sets itself to your local time! This is an essential feature for frequent travelers.

I chose the watch with the white face mainly because my last watch of 7 years had a blue face, and I wanted a change. Everyone else on this site seemed to go for the blue one, and wanted something a bit more unique. I get lots of complements on this watch, especially from people in the jewelry business who have a keen eye. The white face version does not have as good of contrast as the blue face, but it's not hard to read. The movement in this watch is also available in other, more heavy duty cases. I almost opted for a more rugged version, but didn't like the bands on the watches. This watch measures 39mm across the face, and 10mm high, with no rotating face bezel on it.

The band is a pleasure to use. It's super easy to take the watch off by simply squeezing the side band buttons. I nice improvement over my last watch that had to have a clasp pried off with a fingernail. (How 1990's) The only down side of the band is that it's complex design aids to harboring dirt. Expect to wash the watch with jewelry cleaner every 6 weeks or so, which will really make the band shine like new again.

Lastly, this watch is solar powered and never needs a battery! I put 2 or 3 batteries in my last watch and it really seemed like a chore to get them replaced. Another feature this watch has is a battery saving feature. The minute hand usually moves a quarter notch every 15 seconds. I noticed if you have a sleeve coving the watch, and it's in complete darkness, the movement slows down, and the instant you expose your watch to light, it catches up to current time. I didn't realize this was happening over the first few months, and though I was seeing things occasionally when I would look at my watch. Citizen claims the internal solar battery has enough juice to last 6 months in total darkness. I have no reason to doubt that claim after viewing the way the watch conserves its battery. The watch is also 100 meter water resistant. I wouldn't go scuba diving with this watch, but it's nice to know I don't have to remove it to wash a car, dog, swim etc.

So in short, if you want a pretty snazzy watch that is highly accurate, doesn't need a battery, and never needs the date set, this should be on your short list of watches to consider. I'm very pleased with my watch and I'm sure you will be too.

Review of Game Time Men's NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Agent Series Watch #FD-PIT

The wristband for this watch is the worst I have ever seen, with plastic so inflexible it's hard to put it on.Also, the ring around the outside which has the minute numbers on it (10,20,30,40,50) turns and never stays in place.The face is nice, the construction sturdy and it keeps good time.Just be prepared to buy a different band if you want it to be at all comfortable.

Product Description
Officially Licensed Team logo. Stainless steel back, black textured PVC band, rotating Bezel .Quartz Accuracy. Shock Resistant/Water Resistant (3ATM). Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Review of Speidel Ladies Calfskin YB Black 10mm 443R

The watchband looks like the one pictured, but is not discounted from $24.99. The price on the box is $4.95. It's still a great price at $2.99, but after you pay for shipping, you end up paying more than the band is worth so it's not a bargain after all.

Review of Skagen Men's Slimline Mesh Watch #233XLSSM

Very Good to Excellent overall watch. Worth the money, especially thru Amazon where I just bought my 2nd one for $65. In store pricing on the first was $100. HERE"S WHY I"M BUYING ANOTHER: Nice slim styling with a strong band. People have commented on this one (as I did on others before I got mine) and it's a fair deal for what you get. The clasp stays closed and the Battery worked for 16 months and is easily found at Radio Shack for $5.
Unfortunately, The glass face cracked in outdoor work on a 15 degree day. It shouldn't be subjected to these conditions, but shouldn't crack as easily as the rumors say. And, the battery can't be replaced by owner since the back cover can't be reseated tightly. The Date is hard to read, and there's no nightlight function to read it in low light. I guess this all is a trade off.
BOTTOM LINE: Be sure you want it if it's $100, and don't sweat it if it's $70.

Product Description
Luxurious ultra slim men's mesh watch for all occasions.Features a 100% stainless steel ultra slim case and easily adjustable mesh band, gunmetal dial with stainless steel number indicators and hands, 24 hour dial, and date function.

Review of Cartier Midsize Tank Solo Stainless Steel Leather Strap Watch #W1018255

This is a great purchase for someone who knows what they want and don't need the fuss of going to their local Cartier dealer to get it.If you feel the additional price tag is somehow worth it - fine, but otherwise you are still getting the same craftsmanship, brand, and quality that you would expect from Cartier while still getting a good deal.Amazon was great as always!

As for a review of this particular item - I really liked that it was a lightweight leather band as opposed to a stiff band.The clasp is a little tight on the first couple of uses, but that is to be expected.It is a perfect business/day watch and was exactly the classic look I was hoping it would be.

Review of Sneakers Surf and Sport Watch with Fast Wrap Velcro Band, # 3252CA

This product is flimsy at best. It couldn't handle three days of light wear. And I stress light.

The simple act of wearing it caused one of the pins that holds the wrist strap to fall out, and the plastic face scuffed very easily.



Product Description
This is truly a great 1st watch for a young child or teen. Cute yet rugged, this watch will hold up in gym class, recess, and even the pool. Enjoy!

Review of nTren 1690-522 MP3 Data Storage Watch, Black Leather Band and Silver Watch Face

I own this watch (not this brand, my watch is made by some kid in china, as is this watch and the G-unit branded watch, they are all the same exact thing)
This watch is awesome, first off it plays any MP3 file, up to 320kpbs (not 256 as stated). The watch shows up as a 'thumb drive' and you can add any type of file to it, the order you add the files is the order they play in, which is really cool, as most mp3 players do them alphabetical or some other stupid way. Any file thats not playable, (eg photo, text doc, etc) it just skipps over it, which makes it equally valuable for storing all sorts of docs in addition to your music.
Its very easy to use while working out, cuz you don't have to hold it and if wearing long sleeves, the earphones go up your sleeve and most people don't even know your listening to music.

I recommend this to anybody who wants to listen to a full CDs (3-6) of music, the battery lasts about 9.5hrs.

however, the watch is heavy (50g), and while nobody has even guessed that it was an mp3 watch, it is a bit thick so very skinny people may not look right wearing it, but overall, i can't think of a better implimentation of this, seriously, this is just perfect, the only thing i could ask for is more storage space, but honestly, with a device like this, more then 256mb is just overkill cuz you have to skip each song manually, there is not playlists or lcd.

Product Description
The nTren 1690 product is an award winning watch also doubles as an MP3 Player and Data Storage device.Not only does this watch provide an nice elegant and professional image, it also holds and plays your favorite songs during your leisure time.The Solid Stainless features gives the look of fashion while providing security for your MP3 processor and Data components.

Review of Orient Men's Power Reserve Semi-Skeleton White Automatic Watch #CFM00004W

A great purchase!
The finish and details of this Orient automatic power reserve is excellent, a lot of people talk about Invictas, but let me tell you, Orient is much much better than invicta, is great value for what you pay, and remember , they make their own movements (unlike other brands that just assemble their watches without any good quality control). This is a very beefy watch with a great wrist presence. The case measures 44 mm wide x 50 mm long x 14 mm thick, rotating bezel, 100 meters water resistant, 21 jewel Orient in house movement with display back, screw down crown, power reserve and date complications. Power reserve up to 40 hours.

The finish and details are simply fantastic.I like everything about the multi-layer dial from the markers to the hands and everything in between. You won't get wrong with Orient!

Review of Tommy Bahama Men's Diego Leather Watch #TB1118

What a pleasant surprise this watch is. As a watch fanatic for many years I've owned just about everything from Timex to Rolex and I can say this particular watch is as nicely packaged and finely executed as any of the high buck brands I've owned. It may be a tad large in diameter for a small wrist but is elegantly slim and pleasingly subdued in appearance. If you are in the market for a fine dress watch this one is the bargain of the year!

Review of Armitron Women's Tweety Bird Easy to Read Silver-Tone Pink Strap Analog Watch #2200732

I returned the watch because the hands aren't highly visible against the pink background. The watch itself is very cute and would be a nice gift for any girl.
