It's got a good weight to it, which I realize really means almost nothing when it comes to actually judging the quality of a watch, but they got the weighting just right--not too heavy, not too light. The dark centerlinks in the band look like their simply painted that way, but after over a month of use, I have yet to see any sign of wearing off. There's barely any scuffing/marking of the brushed metal of the rest of the band where it rests against the desk while I'm typing at the keyboard.
Time is easy to see, but it's still "busy" enough to look good. It's masculine without going overboard, and it's a large watch without being one of those silly looking giant face watches that Invicta loves so much. They look like something Flavor Flav would hang around his neck. This is a much more normal size man's watch.
It's taken over as my daily wear default choice, and I anticipate it staying that way indefinitely. |

| This watch looks a lot more expensive than it is. It looks like a $400 watch and costs a little over $100. I have only had it for a couple of months so I cannot speak of reliability yet. However, I am very satisfied so far. |

"nice Invicta watch" | 2008-12-03 |

This is my 3rd Invicta watch and I think it is the best of the 3. The 1st one I purcahsed is the Elite 4894 and loved it from day 1. This new watch is just as high quality but not as large as many of the Invicta items. It is a nice change from the size and weight of the Elite.
A+++ |

I'll echo some of the other things that have been written:
Substantial watch, but not too big. Feels nice on the wrist. Chunky without being bulky or heavy. The date dial is just about useless. And the seconds stopwatch is seconds only, not 1/10th sec. It definitely only glows in the dark for a few minutes, no matter how long you "prime" it with light. The band is very nice and the finish of the SS on the whole watch is beautiful. The bezel only moves counterclockwise. So far, in the week that I've had it, the time has been spot on (to the second). I calibrated it to my system clock after I had had calibrated IT to the Navy atomic clock.
I'd add that the big second hand is only a stopwatch hand. IOW, it remains at 12:00 unless you need a timer. I thought that was a little weird as I'm used to a moving second hand. Basically, you rely on the 3:00 dial for your moving seconds.
I was happy with the watch at $126. I'd have been even happier at $110. Fit and finish on the watch is top-notch.

"Chronograph works... doesn't tell time" | 2008-11-02 |

| I received this watch with much anticipation. It came in an impressive bright yellow large box. The watch itself looks great, but... it didn't work! The chronograph works, but doesn't tell time. Called Invicta customer support, and sure enough, pretty much DOA. With lots of other negative quality reviews, will stick with Citizen or Bulova. Invicta customer care is lackluster to say the least. |
