 - Exudes SophisticationThe first contact a product has with the consumer is the packaging in which the merchandise is presented to the user. The Invicta watch quite blew me away by the canary yellow box that housed it. Nicely pillowed inside was the watch, generously padded and plastic wrapped to protect it from the elements. The watch is chunky yet does not feel like a handcuff (and I have very thin wrists - even by Indian standards!) when worn. I had to take out four clips from the band to get the watch fit. The color coordination of the dial, the band and the bezel exudes sophistication - far beyond the expectation from a US$120.00 watch. The digits are large and I have no problems in making out the time even in the semi darkness of the car cabin when I drive. The package consists of a soft cloth that I use to wipe the grime off the inner surface of the band. I quite like the magnifying display of the date (I wish they had included the "day" since I am often mentally programed through that - "gosh, its Wednesday and I am late for the 8am 1 on 1 with my boss"). I have no intention to go diving wearing the watch (for one, there aren't any rivers or sea within a 300 mile radius) so I'll never be able to tell how well the device holds up to such gruel. I may get drenched a few times in the impending monsoon with the watch on so perhaps there will be a mini-test of sorts. Rating:  - bbm incthe invicta watch is ok but a month later there was a black model which i would have prefered at a lower price!. the watch is quite heavy and i had to call the company to find out how to take the band apart so it would fit. watch is much heavier than i expected. i should have bought the movado black. Rating: - Excellent Value for the moneyGood looking and good feeling watch. Not too heavy but not flimsy feeling. Only downside is the magnifying part of the dial's window. But not having a battery to change is a plus. Happy camper here Rating:  - Great looking watch at a great priceSet the watch to the atomic clock, and though I've had it for a little less than a month, it hasn't lost or gained a second yet. The watch looks great and has a nice latch over the metal clasp. Had to adjust tne length of the band by removing three links, but was accomplished with minimal effort. Rating: - sporty, stylish, swissi have two other invicta diving watches, both automatic. they were such a good deal, i jumped on this when i saw it for under $100. this is great quality for the price, not much to say, other than it's lighter than my gold-plated invicta and looks awesome. the black ionic plated steel makes it sporty, but it's also kinda elegant with the rose gold bezel. this model is pretty cool since it doesnt obviously borrow from a rolex design, but seems rather more uniquely invicta, if that makes any sense. a real head-turner that looks like a $400 watch. sssh! dont tell anyone!
