...Like most others that have given reviews on this football, I received it as a part of promotional package. Given the price this item currently commands, I was cautiously optimistic that this may be a decent, all-weather/leather football. Boy, was I wrong. The material can be best described as the synthetic leathery compound that's usually found on $1 baseballs; Slippery, vinyl feel of the football is simply overpowering. The grip portion also leaves plenty of room for improvement. The ends of the grip material are simply snuck under the workings of the grip --- Which is very loose, making it only a matter of time before the end(s) eventually come apart. Perhaps it'll be tougher than it looks. But my guess is, it'll be rendered useless soon after its introduction to outdoor elements. Nevertheless, to reiterate the title of this review, I'd never purchase this unless it were sold at a significant bargain... Like, free, as in this case.

Nice promo. I gave it a 5 star rating because it was free with watch purchase. The Invicta watches are great!

I got this "football" included for free with the purchase of the Invicta 8935 for $64 for both. It has a grippy rubberized feel to it, not leathery. Probably a little easier on the hands to catch since it is softer than a leather ball. I have serious doubts that the yellow would hold up if dropped on asphalt. The colors and big logo are obnoxious. I wouldn't pay a penny for this ball if I saw it in a store. Who in their right mind would pay $35 for this and give it to their kid when they can buy a really nice spalding or Wilson simulated leather ball for about $12? I'd say maybe its worth $7.00 at most. I should say, I am very happy with the watch which is all I cared about anyway.

So this football came free with an invicta watch as all invicta non-watch products should come. I wish I had jumped on the wagon when they were giving away the free umbrellas or backpacks, but this football is pretty nice too. It's a full sized ball and quite nicely padded--probably good for throwing around in a pool or indoors. Concrete might tear it up as would your dog. Comes in it's own cardboard box the size of a laptop, kind of obscuring the watch which should be the primary incentive for purchase. The 8926 ain't bad either even though I would love to hate it.

I don't mind getting this football free with the purchase of an Invicta watch, but I cannot imagine anyone paying $35 (or even $15) for it.
