Armani Exchange AX1326
Nice watch, but not what…

So i've now had the watch for about 2 weeks, I awaited eagerly for it to arrive in the post and when it did, I must say I was a little disappointed initially. Upon opening the box there it was my Armani Exchange AX1326. From looking at the picture on the site prior to arrival Ii was expecting a rugged watch that seemed robust. In actual fact the watch that arrived on first glances looked a little flimsy and not that robust.
First impressions aside, I put the watch on and initially I struggled with the rubber strap, after a few days wear this soon sorted itself out as the rubber began to mould to my wrist shape. The watch is very lightweight which I also found a little distracting, but again the more I wore the watch the more I got used to it, in all the watch after a few days to a week is a very comfortable wear.
Setting the time and date on the watch is very simple, the same as any other chronograph watch, so no complaints there. However the watch has a timer function, when using this I found the buttons to feel very plasticky and not very secure. I also found that in order for this function to work i had to press very firmly for the timer to start and the stop and reset. for the full price of this watch and given its brand I would not expect this build quality.
The other big issue for myself was the fact that unless you are in a room with a light source then you cannot read the time as the hands and numbers to not light up. This again for me was a big disappointment.
Reading back over this review the watch comes across in a very negative light, however the watch is a nice piece of kit, but it is just a dress watch with very little function other than looking good when dressed up for a meeting or a Date. This for me is not the kind of watch i would use for my day to day watch as I would be too scared of it braking. Unfortunately with this particular watch you are purely paying for the name of the product....
