Nice watch
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone, Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Decent brand. Decently priced and nice size. Fits my wrist with no issues. Well made. The band does not look like it can be changed out but that is not an issue. Purple & chrome 33mm resin case with magenta accents; acrylic lens; gray digital display; Indiglo light-up watch dial, is the listing for what is is made from. It was easy to set up with all the necessary information. Will make a nice work watch. Decent brightness wehn hitting the button to light it up. The numbers light up nicely.

Large time, date, and day of the week, with indiglo too! But band doesn't hold up.
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
I am used to keeping my watch on all the time, so always buy “water resistant” ones. This one seems to be holding up well to using in the shower, but time will tell — I’ve only had it a month and a half so far. [My last 3 (one a Casio; two different Timexes) stopped working after a year or two, and either you couldn’t change the battery or it didn't help for long.] It’s not overly big / i.e. feminine enough, yet easy to read with my older eyes. I like the rose gold, fleshy pink color, and the strap works great - no links to remove or stretch to find difficult to get over my fist, and it doesn’t roll so much to my pinky side that I can’t see it when I rotate my wrist to see the time or date (like my last . The indiglo works well too. I’m very happy with it! I will update my review if it doesn’t last long. Update: I love this watch, as it matches my skin color pretty well (which makes it less obtrusive) and is waterproof. I've gone through two of them now, though. Each only lasted 9 months, but the watches themselves were still working. I was doing chores involved with taking care of my goats, and ripped the area where the watchband attaches to the watch, and unfortunately, that rip keeps the pin from securing. Nevertheless, I might buy one again. My husband says it's the nicest one I've had and is okay with buying a new one every 9 months. Picture of the small rip on the right side.

Nice Simple Watch
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
Nice simple watch. Bought it for my 11-year-old daughter so she can keep time while running. Her wrist is 5 inches, and the watch tightens up enough on her wrist for a decent fit. She is able to use the watch easily. Note, no directions on how to set up, but I as able to figure it out. Recommend 5 stars.

Very good watch
Color: White/Chrome-tone
Was a gift for my girlfriend. I even liked it has a mode for two different times sets. The strap does get dirty fast. But its really useful this watch and very good in estetics.

Very nice feminine quality watch
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
I purchased this watch for work. As a nurse, I need the exact date and time in military time and seconds, so this watch is perfect. It’s the 3rd of this kind that I’ve ordered over the years and this one is definitely my favorite. Much easier to program than previous models and the look is very feminine and cute. Of course being water resistant is important since I have to wash my hands a million times a day. I’m hoping it will last a long time as previous models have. Usually the plastic band breaks from daily wear and tear before the battery has ever stopped, but that’s after years of daily use. That’s why I prefer to stick with this brand. They’ve always been very durable, lightweight, and effective for what I need it for. I would definitely recommend. This version is the cutest, like I would wear it even when not working. So I’m very happy with it. *** Update: 2 years later I still wear this watch everyday, at work or not. Has never broken, battery still going strong and still so pretty. Awesome 👏🏻
