I have gotten so many positive comments about this watch. It is a great looking watch and seems to keep perfect time. For the money, I don't hink you could do any better.

Overall from purchase to putting the watch on I have no complaints, the watch was easy to size and the red finish stands outs well. A very good quality watch, and I am planing on staying with Invicta for more watches in the future, Also, the price discount was amazing, I got for only $70. Great buy all around!

This watch looks beautiful, and feels sturdy. The picture does not do it justice.

As others have mentioned (regarding this watch, and others of this line), there seems to be a major issue with Invicta quality control. My watch arrived untouched & brand spankin' new. The watch itself was still in shrink wrap. One big issue: the crown only functioned in one position (didn't even move to the other), and the stopwatch feature was completely defective. Sure, the time was easy to set and stayed relatively on-the-ball but neither button produced any results and pressing the "reset" made all hands in every part of the watch just jiggle around.

One would think that with such heavy promotion and bragging about the Invicta brand, the company would have better quality control. To think anyone would pay over Amazon.com's sale price is ridiculous. Next time I'll just have to trust other customer reviews...

:::UPDATE 11/1/08::: After calming myself down a bit, I was able to realize this is not a chronograph (as it was originally advertised). This and the bizarre and confusing instructions led me to believe it was. There was a seperate sheet hidden in the box for this specific watch.

Unfortunately, the watch is still sub-par for the following reasons:
-The band is extremely shoddy. I have never ever had such a difficult time removing and replacing links in a band. It's quite clear this band was produced in some cost-cutting country (IE China), because the pins and holes are all of different sizes. Some got stuck. One broke. C'mon Invicta!
-The "chronograph look" to the watch is beyond pointless. Why on earth would one need buttons to adjut the date, when the main crown does this? What a waste! You bump the buttons, you have to reset the whole thing.

I ordered this watch for my husband! It came 2 days later and its GORGEOUS! Its a substantial watch and my husband just loves it!

Yep, it looses around five or six minutes everyday. I think it is enough to say.

A truly superb watch. It came snuggly and protected in a neat box too.

It shimmers beautifully in sunlight. After you're in the light for a bit, the hands glow in the dark! I didn't mind replacing my digital watch with this at all.

Don't worry about it not fitting. A jeweler (The nearby mall was where I went. Didn't cost me a thing and took 5 minutes.) will be able to remove a few of the links to fit it properly. I've got a pretty small wrist, but they were able to size it down just right. Doesn't slide down or catch on the arm hairs. =P

The watch arrived packaged in a first-rate box that is sure to impress. I bought the watch for a gift and for the price, it was a great deal and will be an impressive gift, the packaging alone is worth it. Thanks Amazon.

I've now had this watch for about a year, & would like to suggest others to avoid it. From day one, out of the box, the item could not keep the correct date! I could have had this serviced from Invicta, but that would have cost the rip-off free of $20 in S&H! Yes, they charge a flat fee of $20 in S&H to ship your watch back to you. Considering $20 is around 30% of how much I paid for the item, that seems ridiculous.

Over the past few months, the glass covering the watch face has cracked, big time, and has a huge streak on it. I've had cheap $5/$10 watches that have never done this, yet this expensive watch did it?

While this watch looks great in person, it's not worth the potential headaches it might give you. My verdict - avoid!

I have to say I was excited when watch arrived at house. Right away I adjusted the band to fit my wrist. Watch worked for 20 minutes. I'm guessing a dead battery. Watch states on face Swiss Movt. Open back to find out what battery I need to purchase and was amazed at what I found. Stamped right inside "Movement China". So cheaply made, it's a joke. Amazon's return policy states that if band is adjusted. No Return Accepted. So I am stuck with this watch that I think worth about $20. This is not a $400 watch. Not even worth the $70 I paid. You pay for what you get. It was to good to be true. BTW I own over fifty watches. Mostly Citizen, so I know a good watch from a bad one.

GOOD LOOKING WATCH,BUT, NOT THAT GOOD LOOKING FOR ME TO PAY AMAZON $30.00 MORE THAN I CAN BUY THE EXACT SAME MODEL NUMBER AT TWO LOCAL STORES HERE IN INDY......I GOT A BAD DEAL THIS TIME FROM AMAZON. IT WILL MAKE ME WARY OF FUTURE PURCHASES FROM AMAZON. I'M AN UNHAPPY GUY......

I bought one for my son's 18th birthday. Thought it was so nice I bought one for my 19 yr old and got one for myself as well.

This is a really nice swiss movement/parts watch for around a hundred bucks +/- a few dollars. Is it is Rolex? No, of course not but it is much nicer than the Kenneth Cole watches which is a much better comparison and the Kenneth Coles are much more expensive for this class of watch. I'm not sure what the complaints were about the instructions. It is really very simple to set. Just press the top/bottom buttons on the side for desired day and date after setting the center time. The military/2400 dial moves with the center dial once it is set. Just be sure not to set your clock between 10PM and 6AM or the military clock may not follow suit. As for the oversize wrist band, it is a simple process to remove a few links. If you are worried about doing it yourself, then take it to your local jeweler and they can probably adjust the band for you in less than two minutes for about five dollars. The only change to the watch that I would recommend is having the date/day/military dials a little larger for guys like me that wear glasses. Overall, the watch is a fantastic deal that you can't go wrong with if you like watches. Invicta and Amazon both guarantee this watch for five years at no additional charge if you purchase it from Amazon. There is a reason for that, they expect it to keep working for much longer than that and so do I.

I have the yellow version of this watch...which I reviewed in July '07 and can be found at Invicta Men's ll Collection Silver-Tone Yellow Dial Watch #4243 ; I was looking at this red version and noticed that one reviewer had a bad experience with resizing his band. I resized mine with Invicta's watchband tool, and it pushed out the pins...that is, they were not screws, but pins [the direction to push the pins is indicated by an arrow on the band itself]. If this red version has the same band, then possibly that is why the reviewer had a difficult time...and possibly the jeweler did not realize they were pins.
Just something to consider...I'll know better if I get this color!

I have to say when the watch arrived and I was amazed by the watch. It has a big WOW factor!!! It is a gift for my husband and I know he'll love it.

Don't even think of buying this watch. The watch bands are for giants, the watch has many many unecessary features that do not work at all. The whole thing is Chinese made, not just the box it comes in, which is actually better than this watch.

Stick to Timex(even the Chinese version) at 11.95 and forget this.

The red dial and polished stainless case make this a very attractive watch, and the price makes it even more so. However, I do have a couple negative comments.
1. The numbers/letters on the date/hour/day dials are too small. In bright light they're readable, but barely.
2. I found it almost impossible to remove the screws necessary to remove links, even with a set of jeweler's screw drivers. I finally gave up, took the whole bracelet off and replaced it with a dark brown leather strap. It makes the watch even more attractive.
3. The instructions are a waste of paper. Fortunately, it's not to difficult to figure out.

I'm considering to buy this watch, I just want to know if anyone can tell me if this is really swiss made. I don't want to get a swiss brand watch made in china!

Anyone???
Thanx!

I just received this watch, and was lucky enough to get it during the Friday sale. Pictures do not do it justice. You will be quite thrilled with the quality of not only the watch, but the very beautiful band it comes with. Beautifully crafted and packaged. I have been validating the accuracy of its timekeeping ability with an extremely accurate watch I own and it has kept time beautifully for about 1 week now. You will not be disapointed when you purchase this watch.

Awesome build and quality, especially for the price and since it had a high MSRP.

i guess i don't have problems with hitting the day-adjust button on accident.


however, does anyone know what they mean when you can't change the registers from 10pm to 6am? i'm confused and i don't want to ruin the watch.

I dont know about brand image of Invicta in the market as I am new in United States. However kind of price at which this watch I got on Amazon was much lower than the market price of the watch. I compared price at the local dealer in Morristown, Tennessee.

For $ 89 I found the deal was attractiv. It is a very good watch for youingesters so I present it to my nephew.

Amazon offers very good deals on wrist watches and I am going to buy more watches on Amazon as I love to buy quality watches at resonable price.

This watch is unique in design and color. It has a push button fold over clasp that I love. A very nicely made Swiss movement watch with a beautifully polished stainless steel band and case. I would recommend it for anyone who likes a watch with a solid feel - nothing flimsy or cheap on this one.

It's a quality watch. However, I don't like the 2nd time zone and the date adjustment buttons. They're way too easy to be pushed in and accidentally change the time and date. I wish they were the pull out and rotate type.

This is an awesome watch. I love the style and durability. The picture does not do it justice. I would highly recomend this fashionable watch I received at a great price. People will notice it! The only negative aspect is the button used to change the day of month gets pushed by pressing against my hand at least once every three days (I am hoping there is a way to lock the button).

Awesome watch. You can feel the quality compared to some of the other watches I purchased that were suppossed to be high quality.

Watch arrived looking and great and feeling substantial on the wrist. Unfortunately it started losing time about 2 weeks after it arrived, and a check of the batteries revealed that the problem was not so simple. It's now back at the company for service (they at least acknowledged receipt!). Apparantly, better quality control is needed! Of course, this is just a sample size of one....

I'm a watch guy. I believe that the only jewelery a man should where besides his wedding ring (if he must) is a watch. I collect them and resell them to pay for my own collection. I bought this watch in blue and was so impressed by the look, it sold me on Invictas! It is absolutely gorgeous and looking at it online does not do it any justice. This watch sells everywhere else, except ebay for close to $125 + shipping. The blue face one goes with more clothing but this one is an eye catcher and if you can pull it off, go for it!
