| The directions for use on this watch are impossible understand easily. While the cost might be seventyfive cents higher, I would prefer, one set of directions for one watch, instead of haveing to guess if I am using the correct directions.Additionally, by moving my hand I end up stopping the sweep second hand constantly, unless it is supposed to not work unless you turn it on. Very frustrating. I really love the watch except that I need to take it to my jeweler to ask him how to make it work correctly.Easier than trying to figure out which watch is being refered to in the directions. Unless I got the wrong directions in the box, which I doubt. |

The diamonds that look sparkling in the picture are very small when you actually see the watch. However, the watch does shine but that shine comes off from some kind of coating in the circle around the diamond. If you are like me who wears watch everyday, this watch will get scratched. The steel band is not strong enough. My watch already has many scratches. But that can be blamed on my handling.
However, what bothers me most about the watch is that inside the case the small steel stickers that are in front of hour came of.
This watch is shiny an good for people who wear it occasionally. However, I would not call it a masterpiece because of its poor craftsmanship. |

I really loved this watch. It was an eye catcher and looked like it cost so much more than I paid ($150). But less than 2 years of owning it, it completely died and needed what the watch repair place told me was a complete "overhaul" which would cost $150. As much as what I paid for it.
Oh well, it was a great watch for 2 years. You win some, you lose some! |

| Got it for my girfriend's birthday, and she loves it. Not the traditional tiny-faced woman's watch, but still looks great on a very slender wrist and makes for a much more readable timepiece. |

 "Nice and Solid timepiece. But (reason behind the 4 star)" | 2009-05-18 |

I have been searching for a nice everyday watch at a reasonable price for quite some time. Did a good amount of research on pricing and designs before deciding to buy this particular Invicta watch. Read most of the prior reviews and have the following thoughts:
1. If you are looking for a thin and dainty watch, this is not for you (the dial is 33mm as described). I was looking for a sizable watch that can make a statement so was quite happy when I opened the box - I have very small wrists and probably have to remove 7-8 links, but still liked the look. That said, the pearl dial and other accents makes it quite feminine(contrary to other reviews).
2. If you are looking for a diamond watch that would blind your eyes with sparkle, this is not for you. The "diamonds" on this watch, as expected for any watch that are <$200, are not sizable. The best way to describe them are specks of silver glitter. When I got the watch, I was not surprised by this as this is what I'd expected, the tiny metal studs around it does not make it look cheap (contrary to other reviews), it's a look many fashion watchmakers utilize (e.g. emporio armani) to accent watches.
3. This watch is not Patek Phillipe, and one shouldn't expect this watch to be a Patek quality for this price range. However, it is a solid timepiece with relatively reputable watchmaker. And you can't beat the warranty package. I was looking to spend $600-$800 for a mid-range watch, but decided on a more value based purchased that I hope would last me a couple of years before I can get my Patek.
4. The watch was functioning fine when I received it, I didn't have a chance to play around with it (see below), but will post an update here in 2 - 3 months.
All in all, if you are considering this watch, do your research and figure out what you want first before your order and know that you will not like your order if you are looking for a tiny watch that will blind your eyes with firy diamonds.
I would have given this watch a five star, but had to give a four star as when I received the watch the letter "C" was missing from the phrase "Swiss Chronograph". Now I know I'm not paying full price for this watch, but I also don't want a watch that looks like a really well-made fake either. I was quite bummed as I was looking forward to wearing this. I'll returning it today but will be ordering another one once it's processed. Will keep everyone posted. |

I just bought this watch as a birthday present for my wife, she loves it a great deal.
i gave her the Amazon shipping cardboard box, and she was a little confused about what was in it. As she managed to open it, and got to the watch case, her face was a real nice thing to look at the time, when she opened the case, o my God, the watch is 10 times prettier than the pictures.
Very well built, nice sparkling (tiny) diamonds, heavy and robust yet very feminine and tasty.
Bottom line, i hit a home run with this gift, she's extremely happy with it and i'm really glad that she's enjoying her present.
After reviewing many brands, models and styles i have to say that this has been one of the best purchases i have made (value / benefit) rate |
