My husband LOVES this watch!, December 12, 2011
This review is from: Invicta Men's 1517 I Force Collection Chronograph Strap Watch (Watch)
My husband already had one Invicta watch and was thrilled to receive this watch. He loves the sleek black design and the band that allows the watch to fit for both casual and formal wear.

Very Big, December 20, 2011
This review is from: Invicta Men's 1517 I Force Collection Chronograph Strap Watch (Watch)
This watch is very Big. It was just what I had expected and even more. Like the idea that you can change the date with out moving the hour hand ahead 24 hours for each day. At $96.00 during the special time it was a very good price as I saw it at Kohl's for $140.00. Update: After a week the watch began to lose three minutes a day. Had to return it to Amazon. The good thing is Amazon works with you and I had a refund in three days after mailing it back..................

Great watch - weird band, January 5, 2012
This review is from: Invicta Men's 1517 I Force Collection Chronograph Strap Watch (Watch)
Like the watch due to the fact it has nice big Arabic numbers. I have half a dozen Invictas so I guess I'm a fan. Black case is sweet and the crown on the left means no more digging into my left wrist! Most of my other Invictas don't have a second hand that runs without pushing a chrono button. This one ticks off the seconds around the face like a regular watch - retro & cool. I would have preferred a white face with the black case, but that option is not available - but then you have to deal with white hands against a white face, and probably black numerals that would be hard to illuminate. I would have liked to seen orange tipped hands as well. (or some contrasting color scheme)
Don't know why they covered a nice leather band with cloth material that make the band look like a child's watch. Someone called it "technofiber".
The crown does not screw down as other diver watches. This worries me so I won't be swimming or showering with it. Maybe some new technology?
Pros:
Easy to read face
Black case and black buckle
Water resistance
Large size
Good looking - gets compliments
Chronograph functions
Crown and pushers on the left
EZ set date
Good luminosity on the dial and hands
Paid less than one Benjamin when it was on sale with no tax or shipping
Cons:
Cloth on top of real leather?
Date window is too tiny for this big of a watch face - could use a magnify window
Crown is NOT screw down, so I won't be diving with this
Try to find a replacement leather strap with a black buckle!
