GOLDEN HOUR Ultra-Thin Minimalist Sports Waterproof Digital Watches Men with Wide-Angle Display Rubber Strap Wrist Watch for Men Women

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this digital watch. At first glance, it’s very simple, but that simplicity is exactly what makes it stand out. There are no unnecessary features or complicated menus—just a clear digital display that’s easy to read at a glance. What impressed me most is how reasonable and practical the watch is. It does everything a digital watch should do: keeps accurate time, has a dependable alarm and stopwatch, and doesn’t try to be more than it needs to be. Because of that, it’s incredibly easy to use and feels reliable in everyday situations. The build quality also deserves credit. The watch feels durable and well-made, able to handle daily wear without showing signs of weakness. Whether worn casually or during light activity, it holds up well and gives confidence that it will last. Style-wise, the design is clean and modern. Its minimal look makes it versatile enough to wear with almost any outfit, from casual to slightly dressy. Overall, this digital watch proves that you don’t need flashy features to have a great product—it’s simple, reliable, durable, and stylish, making it an excellent everyday watch.

Love this watch since I first ordered on last year. Liked it so much that I ordered more to give as gifts to family. When one of the watches had a cosmetic issue we noticed shortly after arrival, they replaced it quickly and efficiently with no questions asked. Great price, clean simple design comparable to watches costing 2-3 times as much. Reliable, proven waterproof after swimming in oceans, rivers and pools. Easy to operate, larger easy to read digits (good for my older eyes) and most importantly it keeps accurate time!! Love having the date & day on watch...comes in very handy when on vacation and I am blissfully unaware of the date or day of the week. :)

As of this review, I have owned the watch for just a little over a month. I bought the black resin version, not metal. Once I wear a watch, I do not take it off. So over the past month, I have worn this watch 24/7, while I sleep and in all activities of daily life. Lets just jump straight into the pros and cons. Pros: thin, light, easy to read, looks pretty good, so far no scratches, no water or moisture issues in hot and cold showers, has the date/time/day of the week all on one screen, and very affordable. Cons: straps are on the harder plaster feel rather than soft silicon rubber, loses about 4-5 seconds each week. Cycling through the modes get you to the time setup rather than having to press two buttons at the same time or holding a button for a few seconds to set the time. This is a con for me because it's very easy to accidentally cycle to the time setup mode and potentially adjust your time by accident. I've ended up on the time setup mode quite a few times and that may be a contributing factor to losing 4-5 seconds a week. I bought this watch to replace my $14 Casio just to change it up a bit without having to pay a lot of money and being afraid of damaging it because of my active life style. My Casio has been super reliable and has gone through two strap replacement already just to illustrate that I beat my watch up on the daily. Overall, for a sub $20 watch, the Golden Hour watch is pretty good. Again, my biggest issues with it is the loss of time and mode button.

TL;DR: Cheap, lightweight, easy to read, and comfortable. Perfect as a gym beater. Not fancy, not premium, just functional. I bought this as a gym-only watch. I wanted something I wouldn’t care about banging into equipment or sweating all over, and for that purpose it works well. The watch is extremely lightweight and barely noticeable on the wrist. The rubber strap is basic but soft and flexible, and I’ve had no irritation during workouts. The display is very easy to read both indoors and outdoors. Numbers are clear at a glance, which is ideal between sets. The backlight works well at night and makes the screen readable in low light. Build quality is exactly what you’d expect for around $18. It’s not luxurious and it doesn’t try to be. Buttons work properly, nothing rattles, and nothing feels loose or fragile. I haven’t tested the water resistance beyond sweaty gym sessions. I don’t shower or swim with watches on. For workouts, it’s been completely fine. Accuracy has been solid so far. It’s a quartz digital watch and keeps time as expected. I’ve only owned it a few days, but adjusting time or alarms is simple. Visually, it’s clean and minimalist. The thin profile helps it sit flat on the wrist and not feel bulky. It doesn’t look expensive, but it also doesn’t look bad. For $17.99, the value is good. Would I buy it again? Probably, as long as it holds up for a few months. If it breaks quickly, then no. But as a low-cost gym beater, it does its job. If you want a simple digital watch for workouts or just everyday abuse, this is a solid option. If you’re looking for premium materials or long-term durability, you should look elsewhere.

More comfortable than other watches I've tried. Slim case really helps. Easy to read, easy to set. Good watch.

The GOLDEN HOUR Ultra‑Thin Minimalist Sports Watch delivers a surprisingly premium feel for its price. The slim profile makes it comfortable for all‑day wear, and the minimalist face is easy to read without looking bulky or busy. The build feels solid, the band is comfortable, and the overall design works well for both casual and active use. A stylish, lightweight option if you want a simple sports watch that still looks refined.

Update: after some time with the watch the irritation went away, and the watch is holding up well, only noticeable wear is a small scratch on the surface. I wear it when washing my hands but keep it away from any other amount of water. Strap is still brand new. I often find it in the timer mode from just moving around, which gets annoying, but overall its okay enough that I haven't gotten a new watch. This watch is mostly pros, but it has some pretty big flaws that are hard for me to get over. PROS: It fits great, and the rubber strap is comfortable and snug. The size of the watch makes reading it at a distance easy, and it is quite thin, as advertised, which is great for someone like me who prefer wearing their watches on the inside of their wrist. It has a nice time function, and I especially like the date and day of week on the watch as well. Watch also has a timer with a lap function, an alarm with a snooze option, and a 4th screen to set the time. Simple and functional, with a good sleek design. CONS: The single most frustrating thing for me is the sound. Seen in the video, the watch beeps when you press the mode button, and I haven't found a way to turn this beeping off. This is really annoying for me as I adjust my watch a lot, and the buttons are really easy to accidentally press. This leads into my other issue, that when you're in other modes (such as the timer) there is no quick way to get back to the time mode, you have to cycle through the rest of the modes. I was hoping to be able to hold the mode button to return back to the time mode, this alone would mostly remedy the previous issues, but all of these combined make for a lot of time spent fiddling with my watch to get it back to the correct mode. Another thing to point out is the watch is NOT WATER PROOF, it is only water resistant, enough to withstand getting water splashed on it while washing your hands or possibly taking a shower, but NOT enough for swimming. I also personally find the design of the outer ring around the screen to be rather ugly. One other issue I've encountered is the metal appears to slightly irritate my skin, which my last watch didn't. Overall, its a functional watch, but for the price, I would look for something with better features and settings.

I like it. Relatively thin, durable, and inexpensive watch that keeps time well. This is the 3rd time I bought. I like this color dial as it's easier to read than black. The other one I bought was plastic. Its much lighter and lasted 2+ years but eventually broke the plastic pin holder in my heavy construction job. This one should last awhile and be easy to see.
