I purchased this watch as a Christmas gift last year. A+ to Amazon for their shipping, handling and all round transaction.

I really love the look of the watch. It is just the right size and weight for me. I really like the color as well. That's the ONLY reason I gave it 2 stars.

There are complaints about the weight and I found it perfect. The common complaint about the dial size was another issue. Personally I was fine with the size of it.

But I should have taken the "LOSE TIME" complaint seriously. I started having issues with the watch after a couple weeks. But it quickly went away and I was OK until about a month ago. I called Invicta and explained the problem and was told to replace the battery. That never fixed the problem so I called Invicta again to have the watch repaired.

Their policies are a JOKE. I had to spend $6 to replace a battery on their recommendation, $8 to ship it to them and they will then bill me a further $20 to ship it back. So basically I paid $90 for a watch and I'm in the process of spending over $30 to have a manufacturer's defect repaired. To make it worse, it will be about 2 to 3 months before I get my watch back.

I called customer service and spoke to a manager about my complaint and he basically said it's policy, and "too bad."

I really like the look of the watch, but I wished I never bought the watch, and will likely sell it or give it away when I get it back. I recommend looking elsewhere.

Bought the watch on one of Amazons friday sales and am happy with the watch so far. I'v read the other reviews and agree that the watch is rather thick a bit difficult to see the small dials on the front but overall an attractive watch for little money. If you are looking for a Rolex this is not the watch for you if you are looking for a nice watch that looks great buy this one.
P.s. saw this watch for sale in a store in New Mexico for $ 145 i paid less ($ 59 on Amazon) the list price they claim of $475 is not realistik at all.

Good deal, excellent watch, I hope I can buy this one agin for my friend.

This watch is a great watch. The only complaint I have is that the background of the dial is seen to be purple more often then blue, still it is a very beautiful and precise watch that I am very pleased with. The extra warranty is a nice extra benifit, if you act quickly after you purchase it you can take advantage of a free five year warranty instead of a one year; all you have to do is go to invicta's homepage and navigate to the warranty section then enter in your warranty info. that should be included with your purchase. My warranty paper was not included so I called them and invita's customer service gave me some warranty numbers that I could use.

Overall very pleased!

This is a a great watch, looks very nice!!!
NO has problems with the time, no lose second in 3 weeks

If you want a good watch you can buy Invicta Men's II Collection Watch #2876
!!

Amazon shipped a wrong watch when I bought it in a deal. Looks like amazon have a different way of dealing with customers who buy stuff in deals. I got a watch with a violet dial colored dial and Amazon sadly ran out of stock by then. This product page doesn't even show till date that watches with other colored dials exist. Make sure before you buy this watch that you are going to be shipped the item as it appears on the product page.

I'm very happy with my Invicta, it feels good on my wrist, looks good and makes a great impression. The small dials are a bit difficult to read due to my age but still manageable for now and don't detract from my enjoyment in wearing the watch.

My Invicta Model 2876 watch, a gift my girlfriend bought for my birthday was EXTREMELY disappointing. The problems, which existed since I received the watch:

1. It lost between 5 minutes and 30 minutes every 24 hours. I had to reset it each morning.
2. The date hand never moved. It was stuck where it was when I opened its box.
3. The "quick-set" button "A" that was supposed to change the date did not function in any way. It was stuck in a pushed-in position when I received the watch in its packaging. I managed to unstick it, but then it didn't make the date hand move, nor did it function in any other way.

I had to pay Invicta $20 to have it fixed.

The card the company sent me to confirm that it had been received left instructions on how to check the status of repairs online that were totally inconsistent with the site itself. I had to figure that out on my own.

The watch took more than 6 weeks for Invicta to fix.

Invicta shipped the watch back to me, and UPS delivered it while I was out of town to someone I don't know in my apartment building. This person, presumably, is still in possession of the watch and has stolen it from me. Granted this isn't Invicta's fault per se, except in so far as they sold my girlfriend a piece of garbage that we had to return in the first place.

So I'm out $20, my girlfriend's out hundreds, and we've got nothing to show for it. We would have had more fun burning dollar bills.

Invicta is a garbage company that has garbage service and sells garbage products. The whole experience has not just turned me off as far as Invicta goes, but has turned me off on the WHOLE IDEA OF OWNING A WATCH in the first place, which I had decided to return to after years of relying on my cell phone to tell time. That's what I'll keep doing.

Some say this watch is too big, thick, whatever. they should probably hit the gym... I believe its just right, and I'm a small guy. This watch looks awesome as well, i keep it in the box until someone calls the ghostbusters, or if i need to look really really rediculously goodlooking.

Great watch for the money! I would never have expected a watch this solid to cost so little. One thing: I didn't get any documentation on how to set it, and the one Acrobat PDF file that I was able to find on the Net did not cover my exact watch model. A bit annoying, but it was exceedingly easy to set so this did not sully the overall experience. Definitely recommended!

The watch is beautiful and I am very happy with it, but I found the picture on line to be slightly misleading because the strap appears to be thicker in the picture in relation to the face of the watch and the coloration on the face of the watch also appears different in the picture, as it seems that it has wisps of lighter more icy looking blue besides the sapphire that make it look more interesting than it actually is. It just seems like some very skillful photographic enhancements make the watch look slightly different than it actually is...

for starters be careful because this is a big watch.. not a wee man's watch i think the face is a 1/4 thick if not thicker and it got 4 stars because i paid 80 bucks for it, came on-time... beatfiul watch case but the dials in middle were way to small to read so yea i can see why i got it for 80 bucks

I bough this watch as a graduation present for my brother in law. It arrived quickly, stored in a sharp-looking yellow box. It is a great-looking watch, especially for the money. It is a nice, masculine weight, and the silver of the band is clear and shiny and the blue color of the face looks great. He seemed really pleased with it. It is especially notable that the watch looked good and wasn't lost on a guy who's 6'8 and 300 lbs.

To clarify others reviews, the watch face is blue but will appear purple under incandescent lighting and blue under florescent. Setting the time and date is actually pretty easy - the data and 24hr smaller displays are set by pushing the smaller A and B crowns until the correct settings are achieved. The day of the week is set by twisting the crown and will move the day for every 24hr period.

This is a handsome watch. It is a bit thick, but not overly so. If you want a thin light watch - this one isn't for you. You'll feel its weight on your wrist. The date, day and 24hr faces are difficult to see unless you look at them at a narrow angle. The face states that is is "Swiss Movmt" which basically means that it does "NOT" meet the requirement of the Swiss government to have the true "Swiss Movement" label printed on its face. 50% of a watch has to be made in Switzerland and assembled there - it is unclear if it was. It does likely have Swiss Movement but was not either assembled in Switzerland or less than 50% of its parts were made there, but that is only a guess.

Overall, it is a nice watch but I do have one large sticking point - it seems to be loosing a second every 30-36 hours. I'm going to change the battery and if it is still loosing time I will send it to Invicta for repair.

********* Update 1.27.2008 ************

Got the battery replaced at a local watch shop that happens to be an Invicta authorized dealer. Low and behold, after 2 weeks it hasn't lost a second. I now have revised my rating to 4 (****) stars. The only down side I now see is the hard to read 24hr, day and date hands.

I received this watch for Christmas other than the directions not being correct I see nothing wrong with it. nice sporty yet elegant watch...

What a BEAUTIFUL watch. It is a present, but I may just keep it for myself. It took 1 day to receive it even with regular shipping - although, the Amazon whse IS only 3 miles away.

I ordered this watch online from amazon as a gift partly because of the blue faceplate. When it came just now, the faceplate was purple, and VERY purple. I think this may be the wrong watch, but its too late to return it now as Christmas is only 2 business days away. Thanks for nothing, Amazon.

I think this watch is over priced and over glorified by its description. The list price is totally ridiculous. I paid $80, which is probably a fair price. The watch seems well made and looks expensive. The description says it has a sweeping second hand, which is a total lie, and makes me want to return it. Make sure you get the free extended warranty from Amazon.

Update 6/6/08
After owning this watch for 6 months, haven't had any problems with it and its kept accurate time. So far its been a good watch for the price.

Well when I received my watched I was surprised by the weight of it. Surprisingly the watch weighed a lot (For a watch + package).

With excitement of my new purchased watch I opened it up in a very nice package. As described it was a nice size (for big people (I'm 6' 2" and 200) so it fit my style very well.

It can honestly be more then a watch for show I wear it everywhere I go. Work, School, Friends houses, Outside, and Every where else. Its surprisingly durable. Been to the beach and have been able to swim with it (works fine) get sand in the joints (joints move well [Just blow out the sand if really bad])

It sadly dose look purple in some light but that is very rare. The smaller watch parts (Day, Day #, + Another hour) are small but easy to read I personally have no problem. The Hour + Minute hand do glow in the dark to read but since nothing else dose if its pitch black there no good (unless you know where the hands should be).

Its a little big so you will probably haft to resize it but where I went (A proper jeweler/watch shop they charged 10 bucks for it) it was cheap so it was worth it.

I do recommend this Watch for a nice everyday watch to a fine going out watch. It dose the job well and then some.

9/10 for the watch.

the watch is worth the price... very good deal! with free bag... who can beat that!!!! highly recommeded.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend, and while quite heavy, he got used to it within a few hours of wearing and seems to really like it. He never used to wear a watch, but being the ever thoughtful girlfriend, I bought this one for him for his birthday.

I don't get why some people said it was difficult to adjust the settings. I didn't even open the manual but with a bit of fiddling around I was able to set the date and time and all that without any major dramas. I don't think it took longer than ten minutes for everything. I wouldn't say the process is simple, but it's pretty intuitive, and easy to work out without the entire watch falling to pieces.

This watch was great value and looks great. I don't think any of it looks cheap. I read some other reviews where people said the clasp looked cheap and I wonder whether these people thought to take the protective blue plastic off! I can say at first glance it looks like part of the watch, but as you take off the rest of the protective tape which is clear, you figure out pretty quickly that the blue stuff needs to come off too.

This is a great watch for anyone with a little patience and a little faith.

I am very satisfied with this watch, other than the fact that it sort of appears to be purple in dim light, dates are almost impossible to read, and the clip looks cheap and fragile. However, I believe you can't get anything in higher quality within the same price range. The watch is unexpectedly thick, while that hasn't been a problem for me since I like heavy watches, as opposed to those made of aluminum (aluminum just feels cheap). The case that comes with it looks kind of fruity, but there's nothing wrong with that I guess. At first I thought this watch was like a cheaper version of Citizen, but I don't think they differ in quality by that much, though a similar type of Citizen's model would cost much more. All in all, two thumbs up.

The watch was good looking but too heavy and the date dials were impossible to read. Watch was returned.

This is a great watch for someone looking for something stylish at a great value. I have had many compliments on the watch since I started wearing it. I even took it to a jeweler to have a link taken out of the band and he mentioned that it was a nice Invicta. They had Invicta watches in their display case so it wasn't like he didn't know what he was looking at. Highly recommended.

THIS IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE WATCH. IT IS HEAVY AND I ALWAYS KNOW IT IS ON MY WRIST, AS IT DOES NOT FIT VERY WELL. THE PROBLEM IS THE 3 SMALL DIALS ON THE FACE ARE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO READ, EVEN WITH READING GLASSES. I HAVE NEVER BOTHERED TO SET ALL THE OPTIONS BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE THE DIAL ANYWAY. I USE IT SOLELY FOR TELLING THE TIME. UNLESS IT IS REALLY ON SALE ONE CAN DO BETTER.

my boyfriend loved this watch, if you are thinking about getting someone a watch or cant pick between to go with this one. i will admit that in my bf's bedrrom his lighting is horrible and it looks purple but other than that it is gorgoues, we've gone to look at other watches since then and i'm talking 500-600 dollar watches and none compare to this. i swear it. it may not be as expensive but boy did they take there time making sure it looked that way. all his friends love it, and told me i did a fabulous job. if you are even considering this, go for it, then jsut return it if you dont like it... but you will! and the box is also gorgeous and makes it more memorable, that was my favorite part watching him open the box and take of the cloth to see this beautiful watch... good luck

Its a nice watch for the right price. The watch looks shiny and spanking new right out of the box. I have to agree that the dial will change colors from blue to purple upon white or yellow light. But who cares, two color dials are awesome. The trying to figure out the date (sun, mon, etc) configuration is difficult so i just twist the crown (per day) til its correct. Overall, I like my watch and I but you will too. ^_^

I am usually not one for wearing chronographs - I like my watches simple
and elegant, or simple and playfully colorful, and (oh, I almost forgot...
very, very affordable!). Well, this timepiece just about fills the bill.
It is quite handsome, not overbearing in its display, has an elegance that
matches - and often surpasses that of higher-end chronographs, and is
definately priced right! I especially like the bracelet, which has a mesh-like feel without the mesh. The look is modern-classic, with a wonderful purplish-blue dial and Roman numerals. This watch says "Look at me when you have me on: I'm worth it!" And, you know?...it is!!!

this watch looks nice, smaller than what I expected, but the major problem with it was 1 day after I got the watch started to delay time by 20 mins.; I thought it might be the battery and as recommended by Amazon.com, I took it to a watch store and changed the battery , 1 day later started to do it again ....I didn't take anymore chances and return it to amazon.com. The only positive thing about this experience is that I returned it for a full refund and didn't have to pay for shipping. I already bought my new seiko from amazon.com

I purchased this watch for my 23 year old son for Christmas and he loved it! The quality is great, and it looks and feels very expensive. I would reccomend this to anyone.

This is my first invicta watch and probably my last. It was delivered in a very nice looking box.

The watch looks beautiful and it has a very nice weight to it.

Well after 2 weeks i started having problems with it. First the main dial used to adjust the min and hr started pulling out by itself. It happen like 3 times so i just thought it was my fault because i kept putting my hands in my pocket. Which might cause the dial to get caught in the jean. So i stopped putting my hand in my pocket. But it still happens. Then one day it just died. i'm glad i can still return it.

but i'm very disappointed because its a very nice watch for the price.

Note: Many of today's better watches are thick, but here are my thoughts on this watch.

The watch is beautiful, but looking at the side of it, the watch is VERY thick. I have a self-winding Seko dive watch, and of all my watchs, the self-winding watch is the only one thicker than this watch -- but not much thicker. In my opinion, it is stange that this watch is as thick as a self-winding dive watch. I have always considered the Seko dive watch to be too thick for normal day-to-day wearing, so I guess this watch could be considered too thick for normal use except by those with extra-large wrists. The picture does not show this of course; it really needs a side angle.

Believe me ... it is probably thicker than you expect or want. Look at the specs. The band is a nice 20mm wide, but the case thickness is 11mm. The thickness of the case is over half of the width of the band !!

I bought the watch on impulse as soon as I saw it. I got it for my boyfriend for Christmas and thanks to other people's reviews, I was really excited to get my watch.

If you have no idea how to set it, don't worry you are not alone. Of course the normal time is set by that big crown in the middle. The day (5th) is set my just pressing down (repeatedly. Each press changes day) on the top crown. The 24 hour clock is set by pressing down on the bottom crown.

Now, I would not have known this if it wasn't for someone else's comment, I believe bonmot "gadget guru"? Who said that you have to change the middle crown to go around a whole 24 hours (twice around) to make the actual day change (Monday, Tuesday...etc) Tricky.

But I have yet to give it to my boyfriend, to give a male's point of view. The only thing I do have a slight problem with is that in some light the inside color of the watch looks like a dark purple. My boyfriend hates anything "girly" or "chick" like, so I'm slightly nervous that he won't like it for that sole reason.

Other than that, it's beautiful and I'm very pleased with it.

Bought this watche to use daily (will give it to my brother),i have two tag heuer, and we can not compare it with an tag, but a have seen many people doing it, beware you get what you paid for, the watche works and that is it, also the box have a very strange smell you can not face it for a long time, i will not buy another invicta again. It was not made for me.

My fiance got this watch for me last month, and I love it.

If you are looking for a high-quality, great looking watch, this is it.

It has a nice weight to it, and comes in a beautiful Invicta box.
