Mens LED Analog Digital Watch Waterproof Steel Wrist Watch for Men

This watch is perfect for me. its stylish and convenient to use and comfortable to ware.

This is a surprisingly great-looking watch. Both the analog and digital times are easy to read. While the English is a bit sketchy on the instructions, I was easily able to figure out the button functions because they were so similar to my previous digital/analog watch (a Pulsar). Beware that the watch is quite large if you don't want a large watch. It's about the same size as my old Pulsar, but somewhat lighter, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how durable it turns out to be. (I've been using it only a week.) As with all digital/analog watches, the hands will sometimes cover parts of the digital displays. I find with this watch that the distance between the hands and the digital displays is great enough that I am usually able to "peak" under the hands to see the digital readout. When the hands are right next to each other (like at 6:34) they are very hard to read, but this happens only a couple of minutes a day.My "wants" in a watch were: Both digital and analog displays; stopwatch function; alarm function; a clean-looking face without a lot of extra dials and decorations; a metal band; ability to see day, date, and time without pushing a button (many watches display just one at a time and you have to scroll through them); and a second hand (most "solar" and "10-year battery" watches don't have a second hand). This watch met all those criteria.I didn't have much of a problem removing links, as some others have reported. Tips: Remove the spring-loaded link on the clasp first so that you can lay the band out flat. Work on a soft surface so that you don't scratch the band--I used a cloth placemat. Use the arrows on the back of the band to determine the direction to push the pin. If you are right-handed, press the watchband firmly to the table and simultaneously hold the provided "tool" in position. (It would be nice to have 3 hands, but I managed with just 2.) With your right hand, use a small tack hammer to strike the tool sharply. If the pin doesn't move, strike a little harder until it does. Once you get the feel for how hard to strike, they come out quite readily. Remove band segments from both sides--I removed 2 from one side and 1 from the other. Additional fine adjustment can made by inserting the spring-loaded pin in any of the 3 holes on the clasp.I am completely baffled by the numbers on the outer edge of the bezel. I have no idea what they are for!

I've bought at least 7 in work as a technician and thing happened that why I like the price and I get a lot of compliments it looks sharp only thing thats a little annoying is the blue fades In About 2 months??

This is a terrific-looking watch for the price. It's large and relatively heavy and has a good-looking shiny black-link bracelet that looks like the black ceramic bracelets on some expensive Rado watches. The unusual, dual pushbutton "buckle" also resembles the buckles on expensive Rado watches in both appearance and function. It also has a beautiful blue-green (teal?) sunray dial with two digital windows in it. This is really TWO separate watches in one: an analog watch and a digital watch. As such, it has two batteries, one for the analog side and one for the digital side. Thus, if the digital-side battery goes dead, you can still read the time on the analog side. And if the analog-side battery goes dead, you can still read the time on the digital side.This watch manufacturer needs to use a brighter backlight as the digital windows are very dim in the daytime and only marginally better in the dark. Also, a few of the LCD segments appear fainter than the rest. These read-outs don't look as clear, crisp and bright as the photo suggests—so be forewarned.The thick hour and minute hands often obscure the digits in the two digital windows, sometimes making it hard to read the date and digital time. The best view of the two digital windows is at "quarter after nine" and "three forty-five" when the hour and minute hands are COMPLETELY out of the way. The majority of the time, however, you can make out most of what's in the digital windows well enough. The four push buttons that activate the Backlighting, Mode, Start/Stop and Chronograph/Setting functions seem to get in the way at first and they're sensitive. As a result, the digital display sometimes surprises you with the Chronograph instead of the day/date/time read-outs, but this is easy enough to correct (just press the "mode" button).I consider these to be mostly minor irritations, offset by the watch's handsome looks and great timekeeping. Both the analog and digital halves of the watch keep impressively accurate time, which is what one would expect of a quartz watch. When I first received the watch, I set it to the very accurate and reliable network-regulated time in my cell phone. Several weeks later, the two still agree. So, yes, this quartz watch keeps DAMN good time. And isn't that what a watch is supposed to do at the very minimum? Of course, YOUR mileage may vary.I gave this watch three stars due to the minor irritations listed above, but other than that, I really like this watch and wear it often. I'm sure that Skmei is probably a Chinese brand that allows other brands to put their names on its watches (hence the "Vigoroso" brand this watch sells under). Funny thing, however, is that the "Vigoroso" name is NOWHERE to be found on this watch. "Skmei," however, is prominently engraved on the back. Therefore, it should be only logical that Amazon sell this watch under the "Skmei" brand name, not "Vigoroso." I don't even know how to pronounce "Skmei," so I hope this company changes their name to something that most native English-speakers could pronounce.UPDATEI still love this watch and considering that its much bigger in diameter than a "normal" watch (such as an Invicta), I thought this was the one feature I would end up disliking. However, I'm pleased to report that the large size of this watch seems quite unobtrusive (perhaps because of its black case and bracelet), is very easy to get used to—and love—and does not appear cartoonish or untastefully large on the wrist. In fact, after a short period, the watch seemed to appear quite "normal" in size to me. One problem I had: the pin that fastens one end of the bracelet to the buckle kept popping out of it's retaining hole. When I had Fred (my watch repair guy) look at this problem, he told me the manufacturer had supplied the wrong size pin (it was too short). He replaced it with the correct size pin and the problem has since vanished.UPDATE #2The other day, I was at a restaurant eating lunch and guess what happened? The watch came off my wrist and fell onto the table (and, thankfully, not onto the floor). I took the watch back to Fred. The pin that had popped out was NOT the same pin Fred had fixed before. Fred took the pin out and found a longer pin to install. I started to wonder how many other pins are too short and started thinking about buying a replacement bracelet. This would have been a shame because the bracelet that comes with the watch is gorgeous and better-looking than any of the replacements on the market. I really wanted to keep the original bracelet and that's why I took it back to Fred. This second "short" pin was also associated with the buckle like the first short pin was and since there are no more pins associated with the buckle, I think I've finally licked the problem (or, really, Fred has). I've been wearing the watch for several days now and even wore it while I worked out at the gym. The problem seems to have gone away, but only time will tell if another pin goes bad. If you live out in the sticks and the nearest watch repair guy is 50 miles away, I can't recommend this watch. Or, you could buy a replacement bracelet as soon as you receive the watch, which would be a shame and yet another expenditure.UPDATE #3It's been a year since I received this watch and all is going well. The pin problem has never resurfaced. The accuracy of this quartz watch is (as with most quartz watches) amazing. If you can put up with the few initial minor quirks mentioned above, I can wholeheartedly recommend this watch!UPDATE #4Well, it's been three years since I bought this watch and my satisfaction seems to have grown. All pins have stayed where they should stay. The analog portion of the watch stopped, so I went shopping for batteries for both the analog and digital sides of this watch. As stated above, this is really TWO watches in one, an analog watch and a digital watch, both with their own batteries. So, I decided to replace BOTH batteries, even though the digital side battery was still working. After opening up the back of the watch, the analog battery was right there (Energizer 2016), a large diameter coin battery. The digital battery, a tiny diameter coin battery (Energizer 377) however, was buried deep inside the watch and required unscrewing six teeny tiny screws to remove a plastic plate. It took me about an hour to replace both batteries! Of course, Fred could have done it in about ten minutes. I'm so glad I was able to retain the bracelet that came with this watch...it's just so gorgeous.UPDATE #5: They Listened!Just to see if anyone was listening to me, I bought this watch again, three years later. The manufacturer seemed to address almost every complaint I had made. One of my complaints was that "the 'Vigoroso' name was NOWHERE to be found on the watch." However, Skmei, apparently the parent company, had its name plastered on the back of the watch. If you people are marketing this watch as a "Vigoroso" and not a "Skmei," at least have it identify itself as such.(1) Well, now it is. The Vigoroso name is now on the face of the watch, albeit in teeny-tiny lettering and slightly cockeyed. And "Vigoroso" is prominently engraved on the back of the watch as well.(2) The problem "short pins" have been replaced with proper sized pins.(3) The digital windows backlighting has improved, but is still dimmer than I would like. Perhaps this is because brighter backlighting would wear down the battery too much. To the manufacturer: I'd rather have brighter backlighting when I need it most and have to replace the battery more often (they're very cheap).(4) The pushbuttons aren't as sensitive now, meaning no "surprise" displays showing up.(5) The LCD segments are now consistent and clear. I like the little "blocks" of the LCD much more than the typical LCD segments you find on most digital watches.This watch is an obvious homage to the Breitling Professional Aerospace Evo, a $5,000 watch. Similarities:(1) Both watches are ana-digi (analog/digital) with two large digital windows on the analog face.(2) Both have teal-blue sunray dials.(3) Both have large Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions and smaller Arabic numerals everywhere else.(4) Both have perpetual day & date calendars, a chronograph feature and alarms.(5) Both are quartz watches.Obviously missing from the Vigoroso that the Breitling has: a unidirectional rotating bezel.Obviously missing from the Breitling that the Vigoroso has: a second hand (painted in red).Of course, being that the Vigoroso is a $20 Chinese watch and the Breitling is a $5,000 Swiss watch, the Breitling has more features, a longer warranty period (6 years) and a high-end luxury cachet right up there with Blancpain, Glashutte, Junghans, Patek Philippe and Rolex. However, the Vigoroso has managed to steal much of the "coolness" embodied in the Breitling, making this Vigoroso a helluva fun watch to wear. One area where the Vigoroso looks coolest is its beautiful, shiney-black, brick paver bracelet, which is way cooler than the Breitling's pedestrian oyster link bracelet, found on most watches.And so, UPDATE #5 ends on a very positive note for the gorgeous Vigoroso Digital Analog Sport Watch. Keep in mind, however, this is a Chinese-made watch and quality control will vary. We throw the dice and sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. One thing I can say about this watch: Holy Smokes...THIS IS ONE FUN WATCH TO WEAR!UPDATE #6This watch has become my daily driver, although I own many more watches, some considerably more expensive than the Vigoroso. I only wish Vigoroso would also have a "year" readout in the digital display (just an extra button push?). Every time I look at this watch, I'm amazed by it's beauty and versatile functionality. Note: I bought a THIRD, Vigoroso, and gave the "old" one to a friend as a birthday present.

I don't know if there is just something wrong with the watch I received or if this a common trend with this seller/manufacturer(s) products, but my watch goes though a batteries full charge in about a week and does not hold time well at all. Usually off by about an hour after a few days. I stopped using it.

This watch felt extremely cheap right out of the box. But what do you expect from this price point? Just as long as the watch works, right? Secondly, the owners manual that came with the watch was for a different model of watch and was of no use for this watch. I was unable to figure out how to set the correct time on it. And have it run right. The included tool to remove wristband links was so cheaply made that it broke before you could even remove the first pin. After all of that the watch broke before the end of the first day of ownership. Didn’t even get to test out the water resistance claims. Do not buy.

I would say that this watch face is oversized. I gave this as a Christmas gift so I don't have the watch to measure. It was perfect for my brother who had picked it out and put it on a Wishlist (he didn't know it was oversized either.)I usually wear men's watches and I have a pretty narrow wrist but the watches fit comfortably. This VIGOROSO watchface covered the whole topside of my wrist- it was very large compared to a typical watch. So it definitely would not work for me- but it looked good on my brother's wrist and he really liked the size and it suited him.I give the watch 5 stars since it is a nice watch with a beautiful blue coloring and very sturdy. And the watch was prefect for the intended use.

Great

Bonne qualité, bon prix, merci...

It’s a good watch for the price, all the functions work and easy enough to size (the band “pin” is useless but any jewelry place should be able to size it). Hand movement is a little “loose” when setting (with setting knob pulled, minute hand is “sloppy” to set accurately). For the price it’s a good watch. Not sure how the finish will wear, only had it on for two weeks.

I like the looks of this watch. I specially I Like the price.My observations about the shortcomings of the watch is as follows1) It is very big and heavy2) The screw to adjust analog time (the hour and minute arm) is too loose3) The numbers on the bezel are decorations and cannot be used for any function. This watch has a fixed Bezel. Watches with functioning bezels are either fixed or rotating.The rotating bezels usually provide slide rule function for calculations including a tachymeter function. Usually this kind of Bezel has two parts. Numbers on the outer Bezel and the same numbers on the outer edge of the dial, just below the bezel. This displays the same set of numbers one below the other. The bezel rotates but the numbers on the dial are fixed. So if you want to multiply 3X2, this is what you do. You rotate the number 3 on the outside bezel to align with the number 2 on the fixed dial number printed on the edge of the dial. Then you look at the calculation marker on the dial and you see the number 6. Vigoroso has printed the necessary numbers (usually found on a rotating Bezel) on a their fixed Bezel. Of course no corresponding numbers are on the outer edge of the dial. Even if they had displayed numbers on the outer edge of the dial, it would have made no difference as the Bezel is fixed.The fixed Bezel is usually used as a tachymeter. The markings on the Bezel shows the calculation of 3600 (number of seconds in an hour) divided by the elapsed time (in seconds) to travel a specific distance. The lapsed time is provided by the stop watch function. For example the stop watch shows that you traveled one Kilometer in 45 seconds, then your speed was 80 Kilometers/Hour. The stop watch seconds needle has stopped at 45 seconds this is exactly lined up with the number 80 on the outer bezel.Vigoroso should have used the set of numbers used by other watchmakers on their fixed bezel watches. At least the tachymeter function might have been usable. The current display of numbers on the Bezel of this Vigoroso model is just a decoration with no specific function. The reason for that is that the stop watch function is not performed by the analog seconds needle but is a digital function displayed on the top screen of the watch.Update: The clasp for securing the wrist band does not work well

Mine was defective...
