The Armitron Sport Retro Digital Bracelet Watch is a certified hipster magnet. Strap this beauty on, and suddenly everyone at the coffee shop wants to know where you got it. It’s like wearing a piece of retro street cred on your wrist, complete with that perfect ‘I found this in a vintage shop, but actually, I got it on Amazon’ vibe.The shiny metal bracelet screams old-school cool, while the digital display is simple yet oddly satisfying. It doesn’t have fancy features like heart rate tracking or notifications, but who cares? This watch is here to make a statement, not do your taxes. Plus, it's lightweight and comfortable, so you can look effortlessly cool without feeling weighed down.Everywhere I go, people ask, ‘Is that vintage?’ or hit me with, ‘That’s so cool—where’d you get it?’ Honestly, the compliments alone make it worth the price. If you’re looking for an affordable way to boost your style and make strangers a little jealous, this Armitron is your new best friend.

The watch is for an average or smaller wrist. A big wrist would look disproportionately large relative to the watch size. The body of the watch is well made in stainless steel. The numerals in the display are large and easy to read. Adjusting time and date is simple. My main complaint is the stainless steel bracelet which looks and feels flimsy. (I would have paid a few extra dollars for a better bracelet.) I am replacing the bracelet with a better made and better looking one. The watch has a retro/vintage look. It looks good for the price. If you want a modern looking digital with more functionality but significantly more cost, buy the Tissot PRX digital. For daily use, the Amitron works just fine.

I have a nice watch collection (about 30+ wrist watches) and I'm always with one eye open for something new and unique. I came across this interesting watch in a YouTube clip and what caught my eye was he red led numbers. Unlike modern digital watches, this one has a led screen, a technology that was common in the first era of digital watches.This one is a new one, of course and the maker is making them with led screens in various colors - red, green, blue, etc. Red is the classic one and this is the one I got.Another unique thing about the screen - most of the time it's dark and you need to press one of the buttons to see the time. Pretty cool!

I love this watch. It’s awesome that it uses stainless steel for every aspect of it. The weight of it feels nice. Not too heavy, not too light. And the size is perfect. Not to large, not too small. Just right for people like myself with smaller wrists.The digital LED display looks great in darker settings, but can be a little hard to see in brighter settings.The only things that I would possibly like to see a change in, if possible would be to not have the “:” symbol flash when you press the button to check the time. Personally, I think it would look a little better if it stayed solid without flashing. Also, if possible, maybe design wise, it might look a little better or more classic if the digital numbers were a bit smaller, similar to the original Pulsars.Anyway, overall, very pleased with this watch and think it looks great!

In 1976, my birthday fell on a Sunday and I had to wait 18 interminable hours for Monday morning to arrive so my uncle could drive me to G. Fox and Co. in Hartford where I could spend my birthday money on the greatest thing ever. A Texas instrument’s Model 500 LED digital watch! Sure, it only showed the time for three seconds after one pushed the button on the right side, and sure it took two batteries that only lasted a few months (8 if you were lucky), and, sure, it had no advanced features like a stop watch, a countdown timer, or the ability to tell you the time on Guam, but it was a modern Marvell! The batteries in my watch didn’t last three months because I wore them out staring at the red glow of the light emitting diodes over and over. The Armitron Griffy is supposed to help you recapture that wide-eyed magic. It does that…sort of.Don’t misunderstand me, this is a fine watch especially considering the cost. It is comfortable, durable, has a better-than-average water resistance rating for a watch of it’s kind, and it is attractive. But it misses the retro mark it is aiming for by being much better than the watch it is celebrating. I enclosed two photos of the Armitron LED digital watch, one from 2022 and one from the late seventies. The modern watch (the Griffy) has a display so bright I failed to snap a picture of it that didn’t show a halo around the numbers. Whereas, the original had the glowing, wire-frame, look that cast a glow on the circuitry in the background masked by the dark red acrylic of the crystal. As far as I can tell, both of these watches accomplish the same thing, accurate time keeping and the ability to showcase the seconds and the date after pressing the one button in a specific sequence but the new watch does this with far too much spit and polish.I have two other retro watches, a Timex LCA and a Casio Databank, and they do exactly what their progenitors did. In fact, the light on these watches is, in both cases, a rather weak-kneed LED bulb that is barely capable of lighting up half the screen after the sun goes down. The Casio features the ability to enter up to 25 phone numbers or appointments in a way , that in the face of what my smartphone can do, is quaint. And the Timex has a digital/analog display that was cutting edge and fashionable when Roger Moore wore it (his was actually a Seiko) in the movie “Octopussy” in 1983.When compared to the science-fiction like wonders of the 21st century, these watches are trinkets not unlike those one finds in a gum ball machine. But that is the essence of nostalgia. At least for me. So, in conclusion, this watch will look good on your wrist and it will give you time accurate to the second in blazing LED glory, and do it all for less than $40. There is retro magic here, it’s just not that strong.

The media could not be loaded. simple, straightforward and tons of fun!I opted for the green display because the nostalgia of my childhood alarm clocks, and also the Matrix vibes from the good old days lolclasp is easy to adjust and slide around (have a micro flathead or toothpick handy!)bracelet is super light but proportions well with the steel case; for under $32 it’s very well worth it and a nice to look at!
