Soleus Swift Women's Stopwatch

I like this watch for several reasons: 1) unusual style makes it look unique and I am always looking for products that are a bit different. 2) the time display is large and clear for me to read at a glance, although I wish the date portion was a fraction larger too, but overall I am pleased with it. 3) instructions are easy to follow to set the different modes of the watch. 4) the material in which it is made is comfortable, but only time((no pun intended)) will tell if the strap will hold up and not break/tear. I HIGHLY recommend this product for individuals who are looking for an inexpensive, digital, yet stylish watch. Oh. I LOVE the color combination too!

I like it but it's a fairly large watch, which makes it easy to read. The picture doesn't show this clearly but there are 3 white buttons which clash with the grays and yellow. One white button on the lower right and two on the left side. The instructions for setting the timer, time and alarm are incomplete and hard to follow. Took me a few days of picking it up and trying to set something and see if it would work. The watch is comfortable and stays put ; it doesn't slip around on my wrist, I'm pretty skinny. It's nice to have a timer, alarm, stopwatch, date and day of the week right at your wrist. Also, if you want to compare your lap times, or run times, there is a feature to store your best times. If you are in training for something, that's nice too. I usually am tracking my time, cooking different things, or wanting to stay on task so I find the timer and alarm very handy. For a sport watch, it's not too garish or loud, subtle grays with a tiny splash of fresh yellow seems to go with everything casual. Very durable. I also like having a watch when I travel, that way I don't have to search for my phone and keep it on. It comes in a nice Soleus watch box. I knocked off one star because I think Soleus could have made it more attractive by making all the buttons gray and making the watch smaller and thinner -- I'd say it's almost 1/2 inch thick and 1.5 inches across from side to side. Like I said, I have a very skinny wrist, bony, so this really makes a statement on me.

So far, so good. I've read that people have issues with the battery life, but chose to take a chance. This looks so much better than the standard IM timex watches, and I was looking for an every day (except speed work mornings) running watch that I could wear during easy runs, to work, and everywhere else. The instruction booklet is thorough and Soleus provides a one year warranty. The backlight is worthless and that's why I have it 4/5 instead of 5/5.Update: The watch is dead. - March 23, 2015. Completely dead.

I LOVE this watch. It is seeming harder and harder to find a quality watch that doesn't track calories and activity. I bought this watch to replace the same watch that I had for several years but sadly lost while traveling. I feel excited to have it back on my wrist. I noticed though, that fresh out of the packaging, the light does not work. I don't expect this will cause too much grief for me, but I am debating returning it to have the light fixed, because, you know, I paid for a watch with a light.

Maybe the watch I got is low on battery or defective but the backlight doesn't light up, it actually made the numbers less visible when in low contrast settings. So when i'm in the dark I cannot see the time when wearing this watch. Also when I push the buttons or have an alarm or timer go off the alarm and button chimes or not very loud. There is a slight tick or little beep but it's not loud enough for me to hear if I'm running or working out with general noises around me. Would be in love with this watch if the backlight worked and the beeping was louder.Love love love the interval timer and the double time zone abilities (i will be traveling overseas). Also, style wise i like the color and design.
