 well worth the money! February 21, 2008

I bought this watch at last Friday sale and it was delivered on Tuesday! Very fast for free shipping. The watch is very nice-looking. It's not very accurate: +2 min in one day already (will see in one week), but I did not expect a Rolex. Conclusion: well worth $69 as good-looking accessory, but for accurate time try smth else.
After using this watch for a week, I can now say it's pretty accurate, first day was somewhat misleading. I also like this rubber band: I just can't feel I'm wearing it. Again, very good watch for money.

I just got this watch today. Wow, it's very cool. Better than I expected. Beautiful dial, nice badging on the left side, cool see through backing, comfortable, easy to use. Now we'll just have to see how well it tells and keeps time. But otherwise, I'm very happy and impressed.
The automatic winding feature is much more quieter than my Seiko Kinetic watch, which is my daily watch.
A Great Diving and Casual Men's Watch January 24, 2008

I purchased this watch for my husband last year. He loves it! The watch is comfortable to wear, good for casual fashion, and is good to the earth - The watch works on the movement of the wrist so no batteries need to be changed. The only downside is it will stop if not wore for a few days. He hasn't taken it diving, but am not worried about that aspect of the watch.

I've bought this watch three weeks ago and use it everyday because it looks nice and sporty. But it's not good at keeping time, it tends to run faster, so I am a little disappointed. However, if you like diver style watches and don't mind a few seconds inaccuracy, go for it.

this is my second invicta automatic.
i got the almost-identical goldtone version, then got this for sports/outdoors stuff the other one was too 'nice' for.
comes as advertised, with signature leather yellow box. looks better on your wrist than in the ad. for around $100, plus a gift umbrella, it's an excellent deal. i'd recommend this as a gift or for personal use, and at this price you can buy two.
not as dressy as the stainless-steel versions due to rubber band, but still very sporty and masculine. the rubber band does have its advantages, though. it survived an outdoor music festival on the eel river and came back none the worse for wear. in fact, it still looked new even after several submergings, so i don't doubt you could dive with it. the luminous hands and bezel dot are a nice touch, but really need a lot of sunlight to charge for any significant length of time.
speaking of which, the timekeeping is very good for an automatic watch. it does tend to run a little fast but not by much. like all invicta automatics, it can be hacked, meaning you can reset the auto movement with a few turns of the crown. that's a big advantage over more expensive autos like the seiko, which can only be reset by shaking. that comes in handy if you don't want to wear it every day. otherwise, you might have to get a winder.
at this price, don't expect a rolex, but you do get rolex-type performance at a fraction of the cost. the old adage you get what you pay for isn't true in this case. with this one, you get more than you pay for. just don't tell anyone how little you paid, let them think it cost a bundle.
