Armitron is putting out some fantastic looking watches at affordable prices. This one is Model 20/5573. It's a day-date watch with a black dial and tachymeter markings on a bold blue bezel.

Watch Features
This watch is straight forward and readable. In this sub-$50 watch category, you don't get any special features beyond the day-date. There is no actual stop watch functionality.

Watch Construction
I really appreciate that this watch has all stainless steel construction. The case, bracelet, and caseback all have the strength of real steel. It has a flat mineral glass crystal. The watch has 50-meters of water reistance. The hour batons appear to be chrome foil pieces that are applied, not painted on. The date window is also trimmed with chrome. The hour and minute hands have a little strip of fairly weak lume on them.

I really like that the push button deployant watch bracelet is removeable and replaceable. Unfortunately, many less expensive watches have integrated bracelets that are difficult to resize and/or upgrade. If needed, you can also get extra links through the Armitron website.
Watch Dimensions
This Armitron watch has presence on the wrist with a 45mm case that is 10.5mm thick. The band is 7.5 inches long and very exactly fits my wrist. To be honest, it's just a tad snug. A longer bracelet with the ability to make micro-adjustments would be welcomed.
Overall Impression
Overall, I like the Model 20/5573 from Armitron. It looks good and I think it is a good value for the money. Armitron watches are not expensive and, yet, they are still real watches. If you'd like to take a closer look at this watch, check it out here on Amazon:
