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.

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..................

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!

This is a wonderful time piece and I have no complains about the watch itself, the reason I gave it a 3 star only is because the strap is too thin to match the case, even though I was expecting the Cloth-Strap bands, I was chocked when I saw how thin it was.

I ordered this version of the chronograph cause I thought it will be more enduring under rainy weather or regular usage sweat, rather than the full leather strap version, given it's a waterproff watch and there's no rubber band versions of this model (Perhaps Invicta/Amazon should reconsider this and make one available).

The watch held to my wrist like a little baby scared to fell off, so if you are considering buying this watch be aware of this, otherwise ludicrous attempt to achieve a non-sport image, I had mine immediately replaced with a more robust rubber strap band that better suited the case size and now it looks like it deserved, damn I love it after this little change!

Again, all in all beautiful watch, just as described, fast delivered, well packaged with instructions manual and warranty option from Invicta.

This watch is fantastic and looks beautiful. Keeps time, keeps the date, has large hands and easy to read numbers. The hands and numbers glow bright in the dark. The watch is HUGE though and those with small hands and wrists might end up breaking their wrist instead of the watch if they fall. I've worn it in the shower and the pool and it keeps ticking. It's too nice for me to use as an every day watch.

Very good product for its price. For the same reason I gave two more gift to my family. I hope to receive such offers.

I am satisfied with the purchase. The attention was positive.
The product arrived in good condition and is very nice watch, with a good finish.

the watch feels well built. the design is very nice. gets you complements easily. the screw on the left is a great advantage. it doesnt bug ur wrist when it resting on your hand unlike other watches with the big traditional screws on the right. the leather on the bottom, which i really liked. doesnt make it look TOO formal.
the only thing i didnt like about this watch, is the hinge when the leather belt hangs on to the watch. it makes a tiny bit of squeaking noise when twisting it. not something you would want in a watch which is over $100. but it's only a minor detail. it never came off or anything even close..its just that i felt like they could've done a LIL better job at the hinges. but it's still a greatt watch for the price. i would recommend it to my friend. :)

Love the look of the watch, not familiar with setting the date. Would like to know where to get an extra strap when needed.

very nice dress 100% satisfied because I do not drive do not write much English language
