Interesting color and keeps good time...3 1/2 stars is a more accurate rating... - Review written on July 14, 2007

I have several Invictas and was attracted to the Invicta yellow dial...it is a unique color and it looks nice up-close.
While I am partial to automatic [self-winding] watches, this analog quartz Swiss Movement keeps very good time...I set it to the www.time.gov website and it has been accurate +/- 1 sec. for the last 24 hours.
One specific downside is the three smaller dials [day,time-zone and date] are almost impossible to read without a magnifying glass...and they are not dead-on accurate, but I can live with it; it may be more important to someone else, though, so it should be mentioned.
The only other negative I would give the watch has more to do with Invicta in general than this watch specifically: their instructions are very poor, since they only provide a booklet and an added pamphlet...all of which do not directly apply to this watch. Some instructions do point you in the right direction on some of the adjustments, but it would be better if they just finally got with it and included an accurate & simple 1-page explanation with a diagram for each model. It is too easy to cause unintentional damage otherwise: for example, buried inside the box is a warning that you will void the warranty and possibly damage the springs if you adjust the watch between 10PM and 6AM! How about it, Invicta? It is especially disconcerting when one considers that Invicta seems to pride itself on a technically accurate, detailed and well-made product...why not extend this pride to the instructions??
One other note: my watch came without the usual plastic protective covering and it had fingerprints on it, so I am guessing it was a returned item...but it seems to be working OK...and I hope to avoid the need to return it and wait for another one.
