5.0 out of 5 stars
Very pleased so far, October 2, 2008
This review is from: Invicta Women's 5068 Baby Diver Lupah Metallic Watch Set (Watch)
I received the watch promptly.
The photos of this watch on the websites I have searched always show the MOP face as rather colorful but, as I often discovered when searching the web and reading reviews, the MOP in the watch I received looks white. I can see hints of color if I roll the face in bright light and look for it. Still, it does look very nice, I just was expecting color when glancing at the face.
I have only worn it a day but I am delighted. I found, in keeping with reviews on other sites I had read, that the bands are very very stiff when new so I rolled them up and straightened them out a few times before putting the watch on. The quick release feature of the bands did allow me to change the bands quickly without a special tool. The leather of the band was still stiff but has softened a little already with a few hours of wearing. I have a large wrist and the bands fit. The band adjustment includes 8 punched holes to choose from so it could fit a small to average wrist too.
The color of the bands that I received is rather accurate except that the colors are softer in real life. This is especially true for the `copper' band. In the Amazon photo the color is an intense burnished orange or copper. In real life, the color is much softer, no where near as intense, and has a bit more pink in it. I was surprised that I liked this color best - it is not far off from a skin tone (except that it has a metallic shine to it.) The other watch band colors are softer than shown in the photo - but the difference is not as significant.
The hour and minute hands of the watch glow in the dark and are easily visible due to the amount of luminous material coating them.
In my online searches, this watch is sometimes classified in the WildFlowers collection (true of Amazon) and also classified as the Lupah collection (also true of Amazon).
I am very pleased with it. My impression, handling the watch, is that is made of good materials and worth the cost. But, only time will tell.....(sorry! I just couldn't resist!)

Big value, big watch, June 10, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Women's 5068 Baby Diver Lupah Metallic Watch Set (Watch)
Large, nice looking gold plated Swiss movement 100M waterproof with four (4) wrist bands! (2 silver, 1 copper, 1 gold - user replaceable). Simple as can be. Thick, heavy case. Florescent watch hands glow for a little while after lights out. List price $475. I got it on a Today's Deals special for $49!!!!!!! Time will tell how it holds up, but I scored!

So pretty~~, June 14, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Women's 5068 Baby Diver Lupah Metallic Watch Set (Watch)
Big but pretty~ (I wish I have thicker wrists - mines are too slender for this watch)
The band is too thick and hard to put on but I still love it! Satisfied.
