Wonderful Watch!
I ordered this watch after spending several hours looking at different options for watches (including Citizen Seiko Bulova) all in this approximate price range. I looked at reviews on amazon went to company websites and checked out other internet sites. I ended up ordering this one and it's wonderful! It's a sizeable watch - about midway between a regular small ladies' watch and a man's large diving-type watch. It's got quite a bit of weight to it though it's nothing overwhelming. It simply feels very solid. It's easy to set (though I seem to be having a problem adjusting the 1/10th chrono). It looks great with jeans or dressy clothes - without looking fussy for either one. The diamonds are smaller than it seems in the picture but they are there and in my opinion help keep the watch from looking overly flashy. The clasp is hidden when closed - wonderful to keep it from looking cheap or catching on clothes (or baby in my case!). The hands and small blocks above the numbers are all coated with Tritnite (I think that's what it is) so that they glow in the dark (great for checking times when baby wakes up in the middle of the night) and they last all night long. And of course the bonus warranty plan is wonderful.
I would certainly buy this watch again. It's a great deal for the price and truly feels great on. I can't stop glancing at it just to admire it;)
UPDATE: After almost 2 years my watch needs repairs. The gold frame around the date box and one of the gold number markers have fallen off their spots and are now floating around within the case. I can't wear the watch because I'm afraid that they will stick somewhere and cause permanent damage if a hand gets stuck on them. I called Invicta to have it repaired and after sitting on hold for 15 minutes (according to my phone timer) I was told by the warranty department that even though my Platinum Warranty is on file I need to send a $25 check (for shipping and handling) a copy of the receipt and a note explaining the problem along with the watch to their office in Florida. What a hassle - along with some really expensive shipping. As much as I love this watch I will probably never buy from Invicta again.More detail ...
