I got this "football" included for free with the purchase of the Invicta 8935 for $64 for both. It has a grippy rubberized feel to it, not leathery. Probably a little easier on the hands to catch since it is softer than a leather ball. I have serious doubts that the yellow would hold up if dropped on asphalt. The colors and big logo are obnoxious. I wouldn't pay a penny for this ball if I saw it in a store. Who in their right mind would pay $35 for this and give it to their kid when they can buy a really nice spalding or Wilson simulated leather ball for about $12? I'd say maybe its worth $7.00 at most. I should say, I am very happy with the watch which is all I cared about anyway.

I gave my son an Invicta watch as a gift for achieving Eagle Scout earlier
this year. Now he's playing footbal at college and he'll have this to toss
around with his friends.

This football is free with the purchase of an Invicta watch.
But few days later amazon sent me an email saying the watch is no longer available and canceled my watch. But they did not cancel the football and charged me 35$!!! by the time I got the cancellation email, I could not cancel the foot ball because it's too late.
Have to return it.

WOW - Top quality, fit and finish. All the prior reviews can be echoed without hesitation. Its well packaged, heavy, large and attractive. I've purchased lesser watches for close to the same cost. They can't compare - not even close.
I've found a new best accessory. Thanks Invicta!


Couple points...

The band is a little stiff. I suspect it will "stretch" and relax with some usage. Not at all a knock against the watch, but I ordered 3, and only 1 came with the Official Owners manual.

As long as the quality lasts - then I will not have anything negative to say.

I received the Invicta Football along with the purchase of a really gorgeous Invicta Watch and it is a great ball!

I received this football as a part of the promotion for free with a watch I bought. I would not pay for this ball.

It holds air well and is an OK football to throw at a beach or let a child play with. The man-made materials it is made of used to stink a little when the ball was new, but that when away quickly.

The ball is sent in a flat box and has to be inflated. It is nice to have as a display it but is not meant to play football. Wonderful for the price (FREE!).

Laces are loose and don't provide much grip. The entire football doesn't provide much grip, actually. I get the feeling it'd get torn up if it landed on asphalt or any rough surface, and it's not well constructed to begin with.

But it was free with my watch, so that gets it 2 stars instead of 1.

So this football came free with an invicta watch as all invicta non-watch products should come. I wish I had jumped on the wagon when they were giving away the free umbrellas or backpacks, but this football is pretty nice too. It's a full sized ball and quite nicely padded--probably good for throwing around in a pool or indoors. Concrete might tear it up as would your dog. Comes in it's own cardboard box the size of a laptop, kind of obscuring the watch which should be the primary incentive for purchase. The 8926 ain't bad either even though I would love to hate it.

...Like most others that have given reviews on this football, I received it as a part of promotional package. Given the price this item currently commands, I was cautiously optimistic that this may be a decent, all-weather/leather football. Boy, was I wrong. The material can be best described as the synthetic leathery compound that's usually found on $1 baseballs; Slippery, vinyl feel of the football is simply overpowering. The grip portion also leaves plenty of room for improvement. The ends of the grip material are simply snuck under the workings of the grip --- Which is very loose, making it only a matter of time before the end(s) eventually come apart. Perhaps it'll be tougher than it looks. But my guess is, it'll be rendered useless soon after its introduction to outdoor elements. Nevertheless, to reiterate the title of this review, I'd never purchase this unless it were sold at a significant bargain... Like, free, as in this case.
