I am 6'4 and 260lbs. This watch is perfect for me.

I have no idea how they market this to average to above average sized men because the watch is so large.

I have a 8" wrist exactly. This watch allows me to put it on the 2nd to last whole on the band. It fits very comfortable.

The watch face is huge. A good 2 inches across to the crown. The leather band is very thick compared to others.

It would be impossible to talk to someone without noticing this watch. A bold statement of outgoing confidence that excess can be fashionable.

This watch will last many many years to come. If you are able to wear a watch like this, buy it. Its worth every penny.

This watch is very large, larger than any of my automatic watches. The Gold metal is stainless steel, and the crystal and glow substance are trademarked. The Chronograph is Japanese, I don't know where the watch was assembled.

Getting the chronograph back set to "zero" on all three small dials is an exercise in frustration. It would be better to set just the second and minute hand and leave the 24 hour hand at wherever it lands, but in order for you to use the chronograph all dials need to be at zero, so I have given up, since I don't want to hold down a button for five minutes or more to get all dials to zero.

You need to pull out the crown to second click, press A and B together for 2 seconds, let go, then use A and B either one touch to step through second or hold down to sweep through seconds, which then change minutes and eventually hours. A back, B forward.

Maybe Invicta thinks that all Americans are huge, I am 5' 10", 160 lbs, medium frame and the leather band is so big that I have to use the very first hole, and even then the watch is not entirely stable.

I would give this more stars if it were a more reasonable size and if the chronograph were easier to set. It is also annoying, that it is not aware of the month, timezone, or year, so monthly fast forward through the hours to set the date, no daylight savings built in, and no leap year.

Also, the list price is something crazy like $599, so how can Amazon.com sell it for less than $100? I just don't get it.

Anyways, if you want a large gold toned, battery operated, stainless steel watch, this is for you. Otherwise, spend a bit more and find an automatic watch if you want reasonable size and maybe another brand to get a battery operated watch that is a more reasonable size.

My husband is a big guy, 6'6". All this talk about the watch being too big, not for him! Most watches look kind of puny on him, this one fits. It measures 1 3/4" across (4 1/2 cm) And it's thick too, 1/2" So yeah, it's a hefty watch, which is perfect. You can measure that out on a piece of paper and see if it's too big for you before buying.

I weighed it too, it weighs just under 4 ounces.

Here's what I love about it:

I love the the three little dials. They are 60 second, 60 minute and 24 hour dials.

I love the date display box.

I love the high quality real leather band with striking white stitching.

I love the huge numbers display. No need to grab glasses to read that!

I love that it's water resistant.

And not that it's that important but, I love the gift quality bright yellow box it comes in.

I love that it comes with batteries, it's already ticking away when it arrives.

If you like Glycine or TW steel watches, this is definitely for you. It is very competitively priced.
Accurate time keeping, good finish, stylish look.

Quality is excellent and as described. However, I had failed to grasp how large and heavy these are. Even the strap is super-thick. So I will be selling it. There is only one real functional fault - the night glow works fine and shows the entire watch face. However in poor light as opposed to darkness, this doesn't work and as the subsidiary dials are white, like the hands and the hands are quite short and stubby you can't see the hands apart from the dials. From 5 am to 9 am you can't tell what the hour is and from 20 past to 20 to you can't tell what the minutes are. Since my critical decision about getting up in the morning is from 7 to 8.30 this watch is no help. I guess the white face and black hands and dials option would be no better. However if you have big wrists and want to see the time at night but not twilight, this is good. Certainly appears well made, although it doesn't exactly say where. The adverts imply Switzerland with a Japanese quartz movement and the back cover says "Japan Quartz". At the price however, I could guess well-made Chinese with a Japanese quartz works.

I love the watch but I have one serious complaint. When I got the watches, it had a loud smell of lemon cleaner like the stuff you use to mop the floor with. I get you wanna wipe it down but not with the stuff they used plus the whole box smell that way too like they poured the stuff in the box. I had to throw the boxes in the garbage cause it gave me a headache. So with that being said, if they sent me a watch that had dust on it cause it had been in warehouse a while that is cool I accept that. But pouring some lemon cleaner in the box and on the watch is a bad move.

This watch is a beautiful watch, its big, the gold looks great, and the band is thick quality leather but the build seems a little cheap. I ordered this watch along with a couple of Fossil watches and they are built way better, the chronograph function doesn't line straight up on the zero and the buttons and crown are slightly loose unlike the Fossil watches, but for the price its a great buy

This is a stunning watch that looks exactly as pictured. Design is simple, clean, and beautiful. My taste runs to big, bold, and inexpensive. I'm thinking there has to be downside to these watches because of the price, but so far I'm only seeing a terrific deal.

the watch arrived in only 2 days with no damage since i have amazon prime. the watch isnt as big as people in the other reviews made it out to be and looks more expensive than it really is. i only give this watch 4 stars because i cant give it 4.5 stars due to the fact that the leather band is really tough and the size of the leather band only fits my hand at the maximum closed position. it is a little hard to put the strap in the 2 loopholes but it isnt something that really bothers me. the watch does what it is supposed to do and looks great

Excelente reloj que compre a buen precio en el Black Friday... bien estilizado y calidad! es una buena inversion me sorprendi al ver que habia adquirido un producto de calidad
