The watch has performed well for me so far. It's thin and light and looks sophisticated. My only complaint is that the edge of the crown is sharp, sometimes irritating my wrist when I twist my hand up. I fixed this by carefully softening the edge with some 600 grit sandpaper.

I got this as a present from my wife, after using a Fossil I liked for years this was a great improvement from it!

The design is elegant and contrary to what the picture may suggest, it is not a very big watch.

The slim design makes this a very good looking watch and very light and comfortable to wear.
As seen in the picture this is an analog watch and also note that its only function is to tell the time, there is nowhere on its face that contains date.

I'd recommend this one any time.

I bought this watch for my husband as he has yet to get a leather band one, only metal.

The things I love? It can so easily go casual or dressy because of it's simplicity and understated elegance. It's a very classy piece. It's thin so it's not getting in the way or getting banged up all over the place. It doesn't have to have links taken out or put in for him to wear it, and it doesn't make that metal clanky noise whenever he moves his wrist.

Cons. There really isn't too much for a con on this watch. However... When I got it I immediately wrapped it up in anticipation of giving it to him a few weeks later for our anniversary. I had made sure the battery worked and then pulled the pin back out and set it on the shelf, wrapped, awaiting its delivery. Once my husband finally opened it and started wearing it regularly he noticed that it wasn't keeping time right. Granted this was a few days after opening it. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THIS WHEN YOU GET IT!!! I honestly think it was just that the battery was dying in it. However, rather than contact the seller I took it to my local Kay Jewelers to get a new batter put in. I went through a heck of a time with them, no issue on the sellers part...all on Kay's behalf. Be aware that this watch cannot have its batter changed in your local jewelers unless they have the ability to seal water tight. Kay's did not, though the gentleman kept trying. In his attempt to get the back on he bent the pin, they sent it to their shop...who did get the back on but didn't repair the pin so when I got the watch back it didn't work at all. They sent it back out and this time mailed it straight to Invicta who took care of the issues, however because this watch is no longer made by invicta it took them 3 weeks to get a new back mailed in from over seas so that they could install it on my watch.

The whole ordeal took almost 7 months of it being out for repairs before he could wear it, however now that we have it and it's working like a charm we love it. Allow me to state again, my problem for the repairs were not with the seller. The seller mailed it to me on time and well packaged. However, just make sure you check your battery (as that's the only thing that could have been seller related) when you first get it and if it's slow contact them to see about swapping it or something. If you do have to go to your local jeweler be aware of these items with the watch and make sure the person fixing it is paying attention to what they're doing, otherwise the process of mailing it to Invicta to get it taken care of is a long one. Not impossible and they're really great about getting it done, unfortunately it just takes Invicta a while to get the parts they need to do it.

Great looking watch but, maybe I got a defective one, cause it was slow by 1 minute every day. I had to keep updating the time every couple of days...very annoying. I would rather get an exchange than a refund, but that option was not available.

Watch purchased for a gift, well-received. The watch is slim, attractive, and functional as described.
The packaging - soiled yellow faux-leather box - needs to be improved.

I had this watch on my Wishlist for 6 months because I wanted to see how far the price would drop before I placed my order. Last week, hubby told me to just get it because he knew I really liked its simple yet elegant design. I'm so glad I did.

The watch arrived 15 mins ago and I love every bit of it. I don't like "girly" watches. Even though this is a men's watch, it sits on my wrist nicely. The watch's face is not humongous.

As with all new leather-band watches, the band is stiff but it doesn't bother me in the least. I'm glad I bought it! :)

In the two months I've had this watch it has kept accurate time. It looks just as good in person as it does on the screen.

Watch looks good, and got it for about $30 on an Amazon special. The only problem is that after 2 months, it can't keep time and loses 5+ minutes/day. Figured it could be the battery, and just ordered one from Amazon to try that solution. Perhaps it was keeping great time for a year or two in a warehouse before it made it to my house. BTW, leather band looks and feels cheap, but then for $30, it shouldn't be a big surprise.

Update: Replaced battery, and now keeps good time. Hopefully, it was a storage issue in a warehouse, rather than needing a frequent battery replacement. It's worth $30.
