Finally a watch that I can just slip on, that is light weight and is inexpensive. First of all, the watch flashes between the date and the time, which is a little hard to get used to. Plus, it wasn't exactly easy to set the date and time. The buttons to change it are on the back of the watch and you need a sharp point to get to them. Despite the fact that they are hard to press, a couple of times I looked down to find that it somehow switched itself to "set" mode and I had to reset it. Even with all that, I was so happy with how easy it was to pull on and off and how lightweight it is that I was willing to accept the relatively minor flaws. However, in the third week of wearing it (on a daily basis), one of the screws holding the time mechanism to the band popped off and now the mechanism pops out of the band. I haven't contacted the company yet, but I don't know if I'd want another one if it can't withstand daily wear.

The first watch I purchased did not work well, it ran fast and the date did not display. I returned it to Amazon and I received a replacement within a few days. The new watch works very well, it's keeping time and the date displays. The date and time are displayed interchangeably/flashing between the two. The watch is streamline, water proof, and comfortable to wear. The only "con" about it is that to adjust the date and time you have to press a couple of tiny buttons on the back side of the face and a tool is not provided to do this. The buttons are very very small. Aside from that, I'm enjoying the watch and use it almost daily.

This is just the watch I need. Very understated in this small black version. I like to wear multiple bracelets, a thin leather strand wrap-around, colored string, etc... on one wrist This blends into the cacophony seamlessly. Plus it tells you only the hour and minute - no more, no less. Enough other things in the world are telling me the fraction of a second, day, date, temperature, my heart rate. I just need the time; simple said and done. Ask yourself if you really need a big watch face looking back at you. I LOVE this watch. Excellent design. And as for longevity, I hope it lasts, there's not much to break, but for $17, really.....

I bought the Roam watch because I needed a rubber bracelet that would not scratch the surface of my MacBook Pro. Thought the watch looked cute and the price was good so took a chance. Really loving it... just sorry I did not buy every color!

Yesterday I bought a Breoroam at British airways taxfree shop happy to find something so small that would help me to control the minutes I run. Am regreting now.

It does not come with any instructions on how to set the time and, even after finding them online (not at their website), I still cannot get it to work.

I would like to know the driteria for their design award, but I am sure it did not include usability; look the amount of people with the same problem as mine

I have been looking at this. At amazon.com everything is there. Breo Watches are very high quality. I wear it all the time. Jog, shower and sleep. Unobtrusive when worn. Suitable for anyone who's very active. Good luck.

this is the second watch, the first a return after a few weeks because it won't keep time. the replacement watch worked good for a few weeks too and now it is doing the same thing. everytime i go to use it i have to reset the time, it is very frustrating. do not waste your money!!!!!

I should have listened to the other reviews of this product - it totally sucks. I bought it as a gift for my fiancé and he was so happy when he opened it - but that didn't last. It does reset itself randomly over and over throughout the day for no apparent reason. He wasn't hard on it or anything, it is pretty much impossible to accidentally hit the buttons that are actually used to set the watch. So, it's not functional at all, unfortunately.

A real bummer because it is a neat looking watch and exactly what he was looking for. Now we're sending it back.

Boo!

This watch was broken within the first 24 hours of use. I set the correct time and put it on and before I knew it the time was several hours off. I did not shower with it on and it might have gotten two drops on it (max!) when I was washing my hands. For the price I didn't have high expectations but this was really a rip off!

I bought this thinking it would be lightweight and different. It was! But, after I managed to set the time, it reset itself randomly to 12:00AM. OK, I thought, it must have been a one time thing. So I reset the time, and it happened again. I give it one star because the purpose of the product is to keep time, if it can't keep accurate time, then it is worthless.
