I am from the UK and have only just heard about the Armitron brand as they don't have any outlets here in the UK. I recently purchased the Armitron analogue/digital 'Ridgemont' watch and it really is a watch being fully stainless steel and a really good quality 20mm strap similar to your 'Rubik'. In reviews of the 'Rubik on TH-cam they say it has mineral crystal glass and isn't acrylic. As the 'Rubik' is on sale at the moment on Amazon US for £32 I will be placing an order in for it. Thanks for your review and unboxing it certainly looks amazing for the price.
meawhile casio made overprice resin zinc-alloy case watches in 25 30$ 40$ and people still falling in love with it lol . timex armitron still better for me
Cool little watch. I don't view the acrylic crystal as a negative on an inexpensive watch, easy to polish out scratches with polywatch. Can't do that with mineral crystal. I bought the armitron Griffy, fun Iittle retro, might have to get this one too. Cheers.
Hi guys. I have one of these too. I don't think it's an acrylic crystal. I think it's glass/ mineral of some kind. Adds to the value of the watch and makes it more premier in my opinion.
The strap is rolled links but in my experience of wearing both the Ridgemont and this Rubik model it is very comfortable to wear. The strap is thicker also than the straps on a Casio and much better quality imo. The strap on these Armitron watches do not pinch hairs either on my wrist.
Yes but this has a steel case where you have to pay way more for that in a Casio. I love my casios but I wish they had stainless steel cases at a better price
You have to pay upwards of 100 bucks to get into stainless with Casio and timex. This watch at under 30 bucks is amazing .
Bought me as an alternative to Casio for no apparent reason . Thank you !
Awesome, hard to beat this watch for the price…more Armitron watches coming for me as well. Thanks for tuning in!

Awesome feedback, thanks so much for watching!
Great watch. Backlight just like it was on the one I owned n the 80s. Stayed true to the original I think. Thanks for the review.
Wearing the Casio A168 for the EL backlight. But I've been looking at these for the feel of steel. Thanks for the friendly look around.
Absolutely, thanks for watching!

Great point…I still love my Casio’s but am starting to greatly appreciate what Timex and Armitron are bringing for the money! Thanks for tuning in!
Great review, I got two different variations of this last week, have one on a rubber strap which worked out well
These watches are great, definitely going to be picking up some more variations soon. Thanks for tuning in!
Great review of a cool watch, Chapeau!
Thanks for watching!
You can polish up the acrylic scratches with some Polywatch.
Incredible watch I like it.
Awesome, thanks for watching!

Great call, definitely agree thanks for tuning in!

It has a mineral crystal, not a acrylic. I’ve got two of them an checked it out.
Is it glass face. Is it a good watch guys as i would pop it on a 20mm NATO? Cheers
wonder how long the alarm goes and volume compared to a Casio a158 for example
Subbed, keep it up!
Much appreciated!
I wouldn't be surprised if that bracelet is the same one used on some Casio models.
I really like these Armitron watches and of course, Casio’s… Both awesome brands! Thanks for tuning in!
cool❤❤
the glass is mineral crystal im pretty sure
For once a backlight worse then the Casio F91w and W158 lol.
Absolutely agreed, this watch would be so awesome with a modern EL or LED backlight…thanks for tuning in!
Are the links solid or rolled
The strap is rolled links but in my experience of wearing both the Ridgemont and this Rubik model it is very comfortable to wear. The strap is thicker also than the straps on a Casio and much better quality imo. The strap on these Armitron watches do not pinch hairs either on my wrist.
Yes it is considered retro, but Casio are still bringing out brand new models hardly different from this
Great feedback, thanks!

Casio needs to step it up.
It's not acrylic it's Crystal
