3.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing, March 3, 2010
This review is from: I By Invicta Men's 41703-001 Multi-Function Stainless Steel Black Leather Watch (Watch)
This watch is my first Invicta, and I had high hopes for it hearing some mostly good reviews of the brand. The piece looks plenty handsome in the pictures, and in person it is quite a looker if you like the simple face design. My gripe with this watch is the quality of materials used. It feels light and not in a good way, the pieces used in the body of the watch feel almost like plastic in a way. The dial around the face has a bit of a cheap feel as well I'm afraid and wiggles around a touch freely. The band is quite stiff, though admittedly, perhaps it needs to be broken in more still, but I feel like when I bend the leather that the top is about to split. All in all the watch in not confidence inspiring by any means. For the price though I suppose I can't complain too much, it seems to keep time well and when viewed from a normal distance it looks really great a nice outfit.
I expected a lot from this brand and at this point I am not sure I want to give them another chance with so many other great watches out there.

Panerai? Knockoff, April 3, 2010
This review is from: I By Invicta Men's 41703-001 Multi-Function Stainless Steel Black Leather Watch (Watch)
I own a number of Invicta watches and was drawn to the "I By Invicta" because it as close as I am ever going to get to a Panerai watch based upon the style(which start at 5 grand).
It has a very easy to read dial and though it weighs less than the size would indicate I felt it was appropriate.After one
month the watch has remained accurate to within a minute.
It really is an attractive alternative however it is also a watch that does not have all the bells and whistles I expect from an Invicta watch. They are:
1) ratcheting bezel - while this one does not spin freely it does not ratchet which is irksome - the 12 oclock marker
ends up out of alignment often
2) quality of the watchband - as a previous reviewer mentioned it is a stiff leather - I own a number of spares and re-
placed it
3) month/day indicator - totally useless unless you also carry magnifying glass
4) lume is acceptable for a less than $100.00 watch
Overall-I like it -but it is entirely for the looks of the watch - I paid a fair price for a watch that will keep accurate time. The price point on Amazon still allows you to upgrade to the "Invicta" brand for only a few dollars.

fashionable watch, April 3, 2010
This review is from: I By Invicta Men's 41703-001 Multi-Function Stainless Steel Black Leather Watch (Watch)
The I by Invicta is a very nice watch. I already love the brand, but this watch is a perfect starter for customers interested in buying an Invicta, but not spending a ton on one. $60 is a perfect price for this watch. I only wish it was Swiss quartz and not Japanesse make.
