5.0 out of 5 stars Ludicrously huge, September 15, 2008

I didn't pay very close attention when I bought this. I thought the style was cool, and that the watch would be a normally sized one (I wasn't paying attention to the specs). To say that I was surprised that it was so huge is an understatement. The heft of it on my wrist is huge - more of a "wristclock" than a "wristwatch". I was so surprised by the hugeness of it that I kept asking my daughter (who is 16) whether I should return it.

After a while, though, and some wearing, I realized that this ludicrously huge watch is also ludicrously nice. It's obviously well-built and definitely has a style that stands out. I certainly will NOT be returning this one!

My advice: If you don't want to attract attention with your watch, for God's sake don't buy this watch. However, if you want something distinctive that looks like it will last forever, this is the watch for you!

Update (40 days later): I still like the look of the watch, but the stopwatch feature now resets to two seconds rather than to zero seconds. A little thing, I know, but it kind of defeats the purpose of a stopwatch to be two seconds off.

5.0 out of 5 stars BIG on style..., August 7, 2007

e. S. b. "One blessed man!" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invicta Men's 3449 Corduba Collection Oversized Chronograph Watch (Watch)

I received this watch as a gift this past weekend, and I wasn't quite prepared for what would come in the yellow Invicta box. I have admired the various styles of Invicta watches for a while now and knew they had a reputation for their hefty size and being well made, but even with that prior knowledge I was caught off guard by this watch.

To say this is a BIG watch would be an understatement. I am 6'3" tall and this watch looks big on me. The body is thick and the face of the watch is wide. (Amazon is not kidding in their description when they say the watch is almost 2.5 inches wide.)

Now that I have had a few days to adjust to it, I love it! It is very well made, the design is very stylish and it definitely garners attention. I wore it with a long sleeve shirt and a sports coat the first time and it still managed to catch many eyes and spark conversations. (I wore it once with a short sleeve shirt and probably won't do that again because it is so large.)

If you like hefty watches that are well made, then this watch fits that bill. I you are reserved and don't like to be flashy then you may want to consider another watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal!, November 7, 2008

I want to start by saying that this is my 2nd Invicta of this "large" size. My other is model 4603 (Russian Diver's Watch). My only concern when ordering this watch was a comment from another customer referring to the "yellow color" on the face. I was pleasantly relieved to receive a watch with a light cream face. It also has a beautiful black leather band, an accurate chronograph and a very easy to read date. Whenever I wear either of my Invictas, I get positive feedback. Several of my friends have ordered theirs after seeing mine.

There are a couple features that I prefer on this Corduba over my Diver:
-The crown cap has a lever vs. a chain (you don't get that occasional annoying tickle of the chain against your wrist).
-Next is the shape of the crown cap; it is beveled on the wrist side so that it doesn't abrade your wrist if it slides down a bit.
-Another thing is the weight; it is about half the weight of the diver so it is very comfortable to wear on a daily basis.
-The price is great for the quality of the watch.

-My only slight worry about this watch is the elevated crystal; it is raised about 1/32 inch past the bezel (making it susceptible to scratching).

Overall, I strongly recommend this watch to anyone that is secure enough to wear a watch that is a little larger than a silver dollar.
