Great deal and great watchI bought this watch for my son for his birthday. He is extremely choosy when it comes to watches and is like my father - a watch "connoisseur". Neither of them bat an eye at paying $1200 for a watch!My son wanted a silver/stainless watch - one that doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" and one he could wear every day. SO I went to work and looked at many, many watches. I immediately fell in love with the blue face on this watch. I don't know what it was but after looking at so many, this watch just spoke to me, so I bought it.It got here 2 days after I ordered it. You have to LOVE Prime!! I have to say I am impressed with the watch's presentation. It comes in a yellow Leather box and the inside is a very, very soft Chamois? The watch actually sits on a soft chamois pillow.The watch itself is gorgeous. It is definitely much larger and heavier then I thought it would be, but that is not a deal breaker at all. I love the combination shiny/brushed stainless silver of the band, and I really like that the side pushbuttons are large enough that you won't have a hard time using them, but they don't stick out so far that it makes the watch unattractive.I don't understand what all the complaints about the bezel are about. The watch I received is perfect. There are NO issues with something being off. Everything on this watch is perfect and aligned as it should be. Yes, the instruction "manual" is just a photocopied page, but it explains what you need to know. Yes, the date is small - but it IS a watch, not a calendar, and it isn't so small that you need a magnifying glass to see it.Someone commented that the watch feels cheap...REALLY?!?! I feel, IMHO, this is a very well made watch - strong, sturdy and durable. I can't see it breaking unless you throw it at a brick wall or run it over! It has substantial weight. You can see the time, date, seconds, day of week - ALL of it- well. If you have a small wrist you will need to remove some of the links for a good fit - again, not a deal breaker.I paid $75 for this watch and if I had/wanted to - I would do it all over again. This is a beautiful watch that keeps time and is classy looking. It is ABSOLUTELY worth every penny! I would recommend this watch to all who want a beautful, classy watch that does what it says and doesn't break the bank!I bought this watch from Amazon for $[...], with free shipping.At $[...] it is a very nice watch for the price.(The suggested retail price tag that comes with this watch is $[...], which is laughable, as it is certainly not worth that amount.While Invicta was originally a Swiss company; it is now an American Company, with offices in Hollywood, Florida, and their watches are manufactured "somewhere in the far east"; presumably in China.Overall, I am pleased with the watch. it is a very nice looking watch. it is large in size; about 45 mm in diameter, and 13 mm high, and hefty. "Dainty"; it isn't, but it is what I wanted.The only owner instructions that came with this watch was a small sheet of illustrations showing how to set up the various functions and how to use the chronograph features. This one page sheet is actually called an "Instruction Manual" which is rather comical, but it does provide all the basic set up and use info.The watch comes with an included one year warranty, and Invicta also includes an application for an extended five year warranty, that would cost an additional $55, for this particular watch.Considering that this watch only cost $[...] new; and is a battery powered quartz type; it is essentially, a "throw away" watch; should anything major, go wrong with it beyond the included one year warranty.Why pay $55 for an extended warranty, plus return shipping, to have it repaired, for a watch that only cost $[...] new, with free shipping?Another factor to consider is that Invicta has a terrible reputation; relative to service and warranty work!I did not give this watch 5 stars because it was not flawless. The bezel calibration marks were clearly not in alignment with the inner calibration marks on the watch face, and there is no way to adjust or correct this. It is fairly obvious, and I noticed that other owners of this watch have voiced the same complaint in their reviews. Why Invicta hasn't correct this flaw is difficult to understand.The bezel also has a fair amount of free play in it, which is annoying, but considering that this is a $[...] watch, it isn't fair to expect Rolex type precision.In summary; I am pleased with the watch in spite of it's mentioned minor flaws. It is a very attractive watch that is certainly worth the $70 price.However; it's long term reliability, and durability, are obviously to be determined, but those factors apply to all new watches. "Time will tell"!Too many links too remove and appears to be usedVery pleased with this watch.looks very expensive. Birthday boy very happy.Another fine Invicta timepiece. I am so impressed with this brand. I now own 3 Invicta watches. They are all individual pieces with their own character. All of them are solid, well engineered pieces of equipment. The quality and price is excellent.absolutely DELIGHTED.....even though I had to have several links removed to make strap fit....as the watchmaker who was altering it said: "who is this made to fit Atlas or Hercules?"Smart, very, very expensive looking and it's accurate!I have several invicta watches and I rate them very highly.The quality and design is second to none at a very good price tagArrived with the day of the week dial hand fallen off!I Might be unlucky or it might be a sign that they are a great design poorly made.
