 "Great looking watch for those who doesn't want to pay for a Tag Heuer..." | 2008-09-24 |

Although it looks a lot like a Tag Heuer Aquaracer or Rolex Submariner, the timepiece doesn't cost nearly as much. As such, it makes for a great daily wear. It's thick and heavy, very durable. The stainless bracelet looks awesome and recieves compliments regularly. The clasp is sturdy, the dial is easy to read and clean. The Invicta logo looks like a passing resemblence to Omega, which is also kind of funny. The best part is that unlike other Invicta watches that are huge, embarassing statiums on your wrist, this one is normal size and bery classic.
Your friends and family will never have to know you spent only a $120, instead of $700-800.
It would be way awesomer if the bezel rotated, but whatever. Not like I'm using the watch to fly a plane. Five star watch. |

 "A very nice watch (chronograph doesn't work, though)" | 2008-09-19 |

| After reading all the reviews online I decided to purchase this watch. That was almost a month ago and so far I am very happy with it. It keeps very accurate time (it is a quartz after all) and it looks great. The chronograph, however, doesn't work the way it's supposed to (according to the manual, when you reset it, all three subdials are supposed to go to the 12 o'clock position but only one of them does. The other two are pretty much useless). I kind of expected for that to be the case after having read the reviews on amazon so it wasn't a huge surprise and I decided to just keep the watch for the looks. I gave it 4 stars because the watch came with a label that said "list price $355" and for that price I would except a fully functional chronograph. Another thing I don't like with this watch is the fact that the second hand always stays in the 12 o'clock position. Sure, you can start the chronograph and that will make it start ticking but the user manual says this watch is not designed to have the large second hand ticking all the time (personally I prefer a sweeping second hand, but this is not an automatic watch). In conclusion, if you're after a good looking watch that keeps accurate time, you'll probably like this watch. If you're after a chronograph, you'll probably want to go for something a little more expensive. Hope this helps. |

| I love this watch. This is one of the best watches you can buy at this pricepoint. The materials that make up this watch are high grade, and durable. This watch has a classic look to it, it is great as a casual watch, a watch to wear to work or for a night on the town.I highly reccomend this timepiece prior to this purchase I thought that Invictas were cheap look alike watches but my perception has been quickly changed. I think that this is a better or comparable watch in styling and finish than many of the "top brands" out their today. The only downside is that it is not an automatic. |

| It is pretty shiny and the style is clean. I don't really have any problems for this watch other than the fact that the glass is not sapphire crystal. I have to be extra careful not to scratch it up. Its a good watch though but I only had it for a few days to really tell if its sturdy and keeps time. This is my first invicta watch. None the less it looks good |

The watch looks great and has a good heft to it. The look of a chronograph really sticks out from other watches, and the price is hard to beat on this one. It also seems that Amazon is being serious about the list price. When I received the watch, the band had a price sticker for $350, and you can get it here for under $120.
It doesn't get 5 stars because of small issues with the details. First, the manual is not great. It's sufficient, and you can figure everything out, but its just not well written or well organized.
The second hand started out off center. This is easy to fix though to get the alignment of all the dials to the correct starting positions.
However, the second hand does not align well with the tick marks around the watch. If you are a perfectionist, this may bother you to no end. If you never use the stopwatch feature, you may never care.
If you are buying this watch for the looks, its a good buy. It's stylish and keeps time well. If you want a proper chronograph, you may want to look elsewhere.

| I bought an Invicta Speedway Chronograph for a great price and have been very happy with my purchase. The watch is heavy enough to feel solid, yet not so heavy as to be a nuisance. The fit and finish is also very nice on this watch and it fits into my collection quite well. I would recommend this watch to any of my friends... |

This is my second Invicta watch, and I am pleased once again. For $116 (on 6 May 08, but the price has gone up a little) this is a very handsome watch. As with all Invictas with the brushed outer and polished inner band, be careful if you wear your watch at the computer as the polished center portion is easily scratched.
As far as the actual chronograph function goes, I cannot imagine that too many people would be buying a watch like this if they were serious about timing events. |

This watch is awesome for everyday use, yet goes well with a suit! Came across it by chance here on Amazon & am extremely happy (especially w/the low price)!!
Just ordered another one - with the BLUE face! |

 "Stylish and functionable, but Not a serious chronograph" | 2008-03-29 |

Have owned the Invicta Speedway for a while. In short, it is more about style than actual functionality:
1. The hours subdial is not part of timer, it only shows the 24-hr version of the actual time. Say, if it is 9:35pm, then the hand in the hours subdial will point to 21. So it doesn't keep track of the time elapsed and there is no way you can "reset" it.
2. As usual the Invicta watch suffers from misalignment in the dial and subdials. So the minute subdial is almost useless: There is no way you can exactly tell between like 3 and 4 minute or between 12 and 13 minutes.
If you really want a chronograph combined with style, choose the Seiko Men's Tachymeter, the blue one for eye-catching, while the black one for masculine. |
