 Great Watch! |

Saw the reviews for this watch and was impressed so I bought it. WOW. It is really first class. The great box it arrives in and the elegant timepiece enclosed is extraordinary. It keeps impeccable time, is very easy to read, and looks great.
On top of all this by purchasing it from Amazon, Invicta extends the warranty to 5 years at no additional cost (plus Amazon provides free one-day delivery).
Get this watch. It is a great watch for the $325 list price and a steal for $49.99. You won't be sorry. |
Outstanding value on an Invicta

This is a MUST for those who collect watches, Invicta in particular. A friend got this last week, and I immediately ordered one as a gift.
Invicta tends to make an astounding number of models per year,and are frequently in short supply. Like another reviewer, I almost question if Amazon has made a mistake on the price.
As this is a 2009 model it SHOULD retail at a discount of more than double the price. Remember -- you have mineral crystal, and the Platinum warranty - you just can't find a better value on an Invicta
The presentation box from Invicta is VERY high end, and is what you expect for a fine timepiece.
The diver series pieces are LARGE, and are easy to read, and have the style that you see in the very best jewelry stores in NYC, LA and Europe.
If you are shopping for yourself or a gift, you can't go wrong with this.

Great price for a Invicta

| It's a really nice watch for the (sale) price. You really can't beat it. It has a huge stainless steel band, great look, and pretty rugged so far. I liked it so much I actually bought three of them for x-mas gifts. Everybody I gave them to thought they were FANTASTIC! One guy I gave one to has a huge wrist and this is the first watch he's gotten that actually fit his wrist without having to buy a different band. The rotating bezel is one of the smoothest moving I've had to date. That's kind of saying a lot as I own upwards of 35 watches, ten of which are Invictas. It is a big watch so take that into account. On a small wrist it probably will look out of place (in less you like that look of course), on a medium to large wrist it will look dynomite! Remember YOU wear a watch, it dosen't wear you. The overall look of the watch is great and each time I've wore it I've gotten compliments on it. I like the fact it has the day at the top and the date at the 3 spot. I would, and have recommended, this watch to several people so far. Amazon was even offering free 2 day shipping at the time, which made this an outstanding buy. They were at my doorstep in a day in a half! Amazon's shipping is, as always, great. |
What a deal!

| This watch is a steal at is price. I know that Invicta makes quality products and this watch is no different. Yes, it is a large watch, but it's not too large. It probably will not fit anyone with small wrists but it fits me fine. I did have to have a couple of links removed from the band. That said, I've never owned a watch with a metal band that didn't need to be sized. The band looks awesome with the brushed edges and polished center. The face is easy to read at a glance and has the information that I expect(day/date). I've had this watch for about a month and it's kept perfect time. I have and will recommend this product to my friends. This is a beautiful and functional timepiece, especially for the price(I would've paid more, glad I didn't have to). I also think it is cool that this is a 2009 style that is not available anywhere else, let alone at this price. I have several other watches and this is the one I have been wearing almost every day since I got it. I think this would make a great gift for most guys that are average size or larger, or if they like big watches. I would not recommend this for someone who likes small sized watches or very thinner than average watches. It is also impressive that it comes in such a nice watch box and comes with actual price tag of $325. |
Massive, Quality Watch - Unbeatable Bargain

After scanning dozens of ads for watch bargains, I chose this Invicta for a little Christmas gift to myself - what a good decision it was! Be aware, this is a big heavy watch for a big guy: it is not thin, it is not lightweight - but oh, it is impressive!
Presentation
If you're giving it as a gift, be prepared to be amazed. The bright yellow molded case, its suede-like interior, cleaning cloth, accompanying manual - all what you'd expect for a much more expensive product. Anyone getting this as a gift will be impressed.
Appearance. Though somewhat thick, this watch has a simple, beautiful face that looks even better in person - big arabic numerals and masculine design of the hands make it easy to read at a glance. Good placement of the day and date, to my taste. I didn't test it in water, much less to any depth, but the bezel does turn with a precise click. The band is a beautiful combination of polished and brushed stainless steel - precisely built and solid - a nice feel to the clasp as well. The band is very big - prepare to have a few links removed. The jeweler who did it for me thought it was much more expensive.
Operation. After two weeks, this watch is still accurate nearly to the second - no kidding. The operation is simple and the instructions are generally clear and illustrated - with it's quartz movement, it's about as low-maintenance as I suppose you can get. But here is my complaint: why don't the instructions tell you how to operate the divers bezel?! And just what is a tachymeter? Does everyone but me know how to work these? My other gripe: the hands and numerals are supposed to glow in the dark, but they're not really bright enough to read well in total darkness - it'd be nice to have that Timex Indo-glo feature that lights up the entire face. But hey, I like it anyway!
Final opinion: Quality watch, real bargain (especially at $50). |
Excellent Watch For The Money

| This is an excellent, albeit heavy, watch for the money. I had the band resized by my local watch repair shop--a shop I have been a loyal customer at for over 20 years. The technician at the shop remarked "this is an excellent watch"--which, I feel is a better recommendation than I could ever make...since this person has seen, repaired, and evaluated more watches in his experience than I will ever wear. I tend to be hard on watches...so I value stainless steel construction and the overall rugged build of the watch. |
Best Watch I ever bought for $50

| I had an Amazon gift certificate for $50 and searched Amazon for watches $50 or less. I found this one, purchased it and have been wearing it now for about 7 months. This is by far the best $50 watch I've ever purchased. I get compliments on it all the time. My friend commented on my watch and I asked him "how much do you think I paid for it?" He said "about $800" and I said "you're close, I paid $50." We both laughed. This watch is a great value for the money. It's bold, it's stylish and it works great. This is the first Invicta that I have purchased, but it surely won't be my last. |
Great watch!

| Very nice heavy duty watch. Band is large. Needed to take out 5 links so it would fit. A little tricky, but found success using pushpins. Beautiful white face with large clear numbers. Having day on the face in addition to date is a nice plus too. Numbers glow very well for hours in darkness. Have worn in shower several times, no leaks, no fogging up. Just a really nice watch for a great price. And the free 5 year extended warranty is hard to beat. Excellent value. Very fast ship from Amazon as well. |
