Got mine today, too. About what I expected, less than I was hoping for. My only real gripe is that woot sent me an 18cm and 4 20 cm bands. I'm not even sure it's worth it to follow up.

Well, those cheap rubber watches are modular and stretchy, so you can take the doa watch out of the band you like and replace it with a functional unit. I replaced my dud watch in my nifty grey watch band with the one from the pink strap and now I have a functional grey watch.

One was a little tight, another just right. We got a good deal on this one. Oh, wait: one of the watches is 18cm and the others are 20cm.

Except that this watch is shrink-wrapped in plastic to make it water-resistant. Then again, it makes it easy to replace the "crystal", assuming you can find a way to reseal it.

I think I may end up taking this advice, too, or giving it away to a gaunt-er friend. But it would have been nice to have, say, the sky blue one be the 18cm as opposed to the slick red one. And dammit if those tins they come in don't scream out to be turned into convert condom boxes.

I wore one this morning on my bike ride and it worked beautifully. A solid $12 purchase, I'd say.

Got mine today. Great selection of colors. The lime green is my favorite. All of them arrived working and undamaged. The only bummer is that the battery doesn't seem to be replaceable. Oh well, My 3 year old daughter will get a kick out of wearing them after they stop working.

Got mine. Feel good on the wrist. One appears to be dysfunctional, it runs really fast. Another appears to be slow. Who knew you could screw up a quartz digital watch. These are quartz, right?

Too cheap for me to worry about returning. It is easy to pop the watch capsule out of the band. I switched out that seems to be working for the color I wanted to wear. I don't think I'll buy again, though.

still haven't received mine. :'(

I received mine today. I like all of the colors. However, the watch in the purple band didn't work. It was easy to remove though, and I think I might be able to find a small usb drive that I can shove in there.

I got 1 18cm and 4 20cm.

18cm:
red

20cm:
black
lime green
gray
blue
teal


They're alight. I'd probably wear the black and gray once in awhile. Maybe even the others if I feel more eccentric.

I received my set of three today. One out of 5 of these watches don't work. I had two d.o.a. and one that runs fast. At least it comes in a really cool can.

One of mine was DOA, and the batteries are not replaceable without breaking the seal.

I got mine yesterday and 3 out of the 5 had problems. The black one was DOA (actually the watch was crushed inside the tin, but the tin was fine). The red one was 18 cm and i ordered 20 cm. And the grey one was just the empty tin.

Got mine. One was dead and one was the wrong size. Eh.. at least they were cheap.

I got mine today. All appear to be working, but I am a little annoyed that I didn't receive an assortment of colors. The watch doohicky is not wrapped snugly enough in its plastic coating in a couple of instances, but that seems to be confined to the black watches.

Black--6
Gray--3
Green--3
Pink--3

WOOT semi-fail. Fewer black watches and more colors would have made me happier.

Received mine today. All 18cm, one each black/grey/green/pink/blue.

I got the smaller size with the intent to give these as presents to my nieces and nephews. I measured my own wrist as 17.5cm, and yet the 18cm watch feels snug, so hopefully they won't be completely impractical for a 10yr old.

All the watches appear to be working fine.

I got mine today. I was sort of hoping that ordering two packs (ten watches) would guarantee that I would get one of each color, but what-are-you-gonna-do?

Like some others said, three of my ten watches are the wrong size, which really, really annoys me. I know they're cheap, and I was planning to give most of them away anyway, but really? 70% success giving me the product I ordered?

Colors:

Black - 2
Red - 2
Green - 2
Gray - 2
Blue - 1
Extra-disappointing blue in a purple box - 1

In for two, that's ten, but what am I going to do with them? Two for cat collars, two for Mrs. Schmeckelgruben, one for the FedEx driver, and that leaves five for me to dip in chocolate to put in Hallowe'en trick or treat bags.

4 20cm
Gray
Black
Green
Blue

1 18cm
Red

How do I go about getting a 20cm replacement for the 18cm one I didn't order/want? I have no intentions of giving these as gifts but to wear them to match my clothes. I was quite excited for the Red one until I just noticed it was the smaller size and doesn't feel right on my wrist.

Does it seem like everyone got the same colors?

I got:
Black
Red - missing watch piece !
Green - DOA
Grey
Blue

I only got 3 working watches out of 5.
I did get the same/correct sizes.

I got:
2 Black (1 runs too fast)
2 Pink (1 screen is smushed but still functional)
2 Green
2 Grey
2 Blue (1 runs too fast)

All 18cm like I wanted (although haven't tried them all).

So all in all I got 8 working watches in the right sizes but so much for the 'random' assortment of colors. I expected at least a couple duplicates, but not all.

Disappointed with Woot. They shouldn't call it random if my odds of getting two of the same colors five times are better than the odds of a slot machine NOT winning. It'll make me think twice about my next Woot 'deal'.

But, I guess it could be worse. I could have gotten 6 black watches! (Sorry :P)

Got mine today. All in the right size, all seem to work (although I haven't yet checked for running too fast or too slow). Black, grey, blue, green, and pink. The 18 is perhaps a tad snug (I measured my wrist as just a tic larger than 17 before I ordered) but the 20 would have been way too big. My only complaint regarding quality is that the plastic piece that covers the face (inside the waterproof seal) on one is detached and currently sitting at a weird angle. I'm debating whether to open that one up to fix it and just make sure I don't wear that one somewhere that waterproof is going to be an issue.

I got my Breo watches today and I had bought two packs, just as a dorky thing for my mom and I. Wow, how dorky they are. One of the bands didn't even have a watch!!!!!

This was a serious disappointment and I wish I wouldn't have spent my money on it. I got 10 watches total and only 5 work the way they're supposed to. The ones that don't work either don't have a watch or the cover on it has bubbled and you can't adjust the date or time!

What a waste Woot!

got my 5 today. 1/5 doesn't work. the other 4/5 seem to be functioning fine though.

I ordered a 5 pack of 18 cm watches. All of them work correctly (no fast/slow time) and none were DOA or scratched up. Thank goodness. Here are the colors I got:

1 Black
1 Lime Green
1 Pink
1 Blue
1 Gray

I reallyyyyy wanted a white one though!! Looks like nobody got a white one. Not even the people that ordered 3 of the 5 packs. After reading about all these bad shipments, I'm just glad I didn't end up with any DOA watches or wrong sizes.

I think I got the same color combination everyone else did. Adjusting the date and time is screwy but does work. One DOA, the green one, one of the few I wanted, so I was able to pop the face out of the grey one and change it out. I have ordered a lot from woot, so a mess up here and there doesn't phase me too much, since they have made good on every problem I've had.

However it is worrisome that so many have had a problem with these, it's like no one took the time to see if there was a functioning product in the box. One or two is one thing, but if there are so many complaints on here, think how many folks aren't posting about it. It's sad that I'm lucky for only one DOA.

I received all in the right size of 18cm

I ordered 10 and received:

2 Blue
2 Lime
2 Grey
2 Black
2 Pink

All seem to be in working order, I haven't checked if they run fast or slow.

Did anyone get a purple or yellow? I saw some got red. I wouldn't mind trading one of the spare colors for any of those.

Just received my 5 watches today. Ordered 5 20cm watches.

Received:

18cm Red

and the other 4 are 20cm

Black
Lime Green
Grey
Blue

The Green does not work.

Any one want to trade one of my colors for a red one? I received black, blue, pink, grey, and light green. Email me: melarien at gmail.com

I'll pay you $5 for the red one. Let me know

love my breo's! i kept two and shared my others with friends!

Got the Breo Skin Watch 5 Pack for surfing before work. The first of the five (the green one--my favorite of the colors I received, which were all pretty cool) died on my first wave, which was awesome because then I had the perfect excuse for showing up late. Thanks, Woot!

I am currently rocking no fewer than three of these (the ones that don't clash). My plan is to wear the black or grey one daily and mix in the other colors as they match my clothes for a crazy, multi-watched sort of look. For my money I'm happy, although a little miffed about one thing:

I ordered all 20cm, but it seems that, like many people, I got four of them in 20cm and got stuck with one 18cm red one. It's OK, I can still wear the smaller one and it's not uncomfortable, but it is a little snug; I'm a man, but my wrists are not huge, so the 20 is perfect, neither tight nor loose. Oh well.

I got:
Red 18
Black 20
Blue 20
Lime Green 20
Grey 20

My look today (my outfit is blue and black, so the red serves as my "accent color" I guess):

got a dud gray watch

took out the center piece and put in a dollar bill instead for vending machine emergencies. probably increased the value of the watch to be honest..

Got mine today. Right size, same colors as everyone else. 1 DOA. Still, not a bad price.

I received my watches a few days back.
1-Grey
1-Black
1-Green
1-Blue
1-Pink

All 18cm.

At first, I thought they were ugly but now I kind of like them! All of my watches are the correct size I ordered and they all work. I'm shocked and puzzled to read that other customers weren't so lucky. Shame on woot.

I got the same mix and size today. All worked fine when I set them, I'll check the times later for accuracy. Some of the plastic coating was bubbled in a couple, but I think it's just not lined up correctly and could be adjusted. I'm wearing the black one and so far it's right. I read the instructions and they do state that they're not waterproof to start with, so the batteries could be replaced without breaking the seal.

The 18cm is a bit large on me, I adjusted the time on a different brand of rubber watch at the same time that's a 15 cm and fits great. It had been waterproof until I had the battery replaced. It recovered, but the time was wrong, so I just set them all at the same time.

I ordered 2- 5pks, all in the 20cm size.

I got :

2 - Red (one is 18cm)
2 - Blue
2 - Lime Green
2 - Black
2 - Gray

None are DOA.

My son is having a party this weekend, and these will make great prizes!
