I'm very pleased with this watch. I recently began looking for a watch. At first I was looking for a nicer analog watch but then realized that I really like the features of a digital watch (stopwatch, alarms, 24hr display, etc). I found some really hip/trendy digital watches that were FAR more expensive than this watch but lacked many features. So I settled on this one because I wanted a black(band), black (face), black (case/bezel). Set up was easy (the instructions are hidden in the plastic watch display holder). I can't attest to the long term durability as I just recently purchased. But I can say I like it so far. The face of the watch is very large, covers my entire wrist. Backlight works well.

I'm really liking the fantastic appearance of this Shark Buzz by Freestyle. Its all-black look makes it the Darth Vader of my watch collection. It is billed as unisex, but I think its size and width of the band project a handsome masculine look. It's got some heft that gives it a feeling of quality.

The digital diplay lays out pretty sizable numerals that are easy enough to see even on the black negative display. In any case, the backlight with a cool blue cast works well in low light situation.

The vibrating alarm is a cool feature. It definitely gets my attention - without getting anyone elses. It's great to use in meetings or in a class without having everyone look over at you when your alarm goes off.

The modal line of of time and date, stopwatch, two alarms, two countdown timers are useful without haveing unuseable extra geeky digital features.

I think it's a great peice, practical and sporty looking.

I have had no issues with the watch I purchased. The watch is easy to set up, easy to read, and it looks great. I love the buzz feature because I have narcolepsy, so I can set an alarm at work without having any audible noise. My only complaint is having to reset the countdown timer after every use. That is minor and easy to do, so it really is not a very big deal. This is a great watch.

super economico para todo lo que hace este super reloj - con decirles que hasta vibra en modo de alarmas... soportas grandes profundidades y la pantalla es henorme - me encanta

I was looking for a unique looking watch for a reasonable price and I got exactly that. Big clock numbers, nice blue back light, waterproof to 100m and the alarm vibration feature works really well. Very glad I found this watch

My boyfriend previously had this watch... He loved it!! He had it for years unfortunately it gave out on him but it did last a long time!! He looked for it everywhere and i finally found it here. I gave it to him as a gift and he was so happy that I found it for him. He says its perfect for work and for his runs, when he times himself because of the large numbers. Its an awesome watch I can see why he loves it. It looks great with everything.

I bought this in October. Didn't do anything but take care of my babies. No sports or diving, or water activity. It broke within 4 weeks. The numbers on the screen just blurred and froze up. Since I bought it off of Amazon, they won't return it :( I did like it while I had it.

I am hearing impaired, so regular alarm clocks do not work for me.

i was looking for a vibrating watch to use instead of the traditional bed shaking alarms.

anyhow, if you do a search for vibrating watches, there are not many options out there. Bulova makes a nice one for 400 bucks but other than that, the other options were just not good looking, strong enough alarm or were really basic and even pricier.

The vibating alarm feature works great on this watch. it wakes me up easily in the morning. There is no snooze feature, but u have the option to create 2 alarms which elimiates that problem.

the band is comfty, display is easy to read, and the backlight works well.

The only thing i do not like about this watch is the backlight, if you want to change your alarm time in the nite, if you press the backlight,then the mode button to scroll to the alarm, the lite shuts off. small annoyance but i wish there was 10 sec delay.

other than that no complaints, well worth the 50 bucks price tag.

I bought this as a morning alarm so I wouldn't wake up my wife. When I it arrived and I tried it on, I thought the vibration was not nearly strong enough. However, in practice it easily awakens me every morning.

Now, you've got to realize, this is a big, manly watch. It's kind of heavy, and the face is pretty wide and thick. I've got really small, scrawny limbs and this thing looks like a crazy novelty watch on my bony wrist. But since I have no plans to wear it in public, only my wife laughs at me. So it's good.

Also, despite my diminuitive proportions, the strap actually has plenty of holes to tighten all the way down on my arm. Heck, there are even 2 more holes I don't need. That's way unusual for a watch. They usually fall right off of me.

I'm currently in iraq and when I had read that this watch vibrates it was perfect. The other great thing about this watch is the fact it has 2 times on it so now I can track the time back in the States. I like the 2 alarm settings as well and the vibrating feater is perfect for when Im on a convoy and it i know when the hour has changed because it vibrates. Other reviews said they had prob;ems with the water getting in it I havent had that issue since I wear it in the shower. The watch face is big and so are the nmbers so there is no question on what time it is. Buy this watch its worth the money.
