InvictaMen's Watch

Lets begin with delivery time using "Super Saver". I ordered this impressive watch on Saturday the 2nd of May and it arrived on Thursday the 7th, I was very impressed with the delivery time considering that the watch dispatched from "KOBERN-GONDORF" in Germany (despite their business address apparently being at 6007 16th Ave, Brooklyn, New York, 11204, US), then it went to a carrier in Hemel Hempstead in the UK and finally to another carrier in Leeds before it got delivered to me.The watch came well packaged and in a yellow rubberised box, with a cool ripple pattern running across it. Inside the watch box was a full and detailed manual that covers all the different types of watches Invicta makes, a small warranty card with model number etc blank on it and a seemingly redundant/extra fold-out leaftet explaining how to set the time etc. Most likely included for non English speakers as it includes many languages.Onto the watch itself, it looks very impressive and could easily rival a thousand quid one in looks as well as performance.As others have commented, the watch face isn't the same sky blue colour as indicated in the photo, its much much darker.If you take a look at the colour chart here:https://rollingharbour.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/50-shades-of-blue.jpgThe watch face is actually "Midnight Blue". In low light conditions the blue is so dark that its almost black. As much as I dont like false advertising and would have been annoyed if I wanted the watch with that exact same colour in the photo, I'm actually relieved that the watch isnt as sky blue as the product photo makes out, as it would probably look a bit cack.I have taken a photo of the watch on my wrist to give an accurate idea of what this actually looks like and how big it is.Watch face close-up:http://rs288.pbsrc.com/albums/ll195/billybifocals007/20150510_095800_zps3orzmpcz.jpg~320x480Another close-up:http://rs288.pbsrc.com/albums/ll195/billybifocals007/20150510_095816_zpsmnconrks.jpg~320x480Watch on my right arm:http://rs288.pbsrc.com/albums/ll195/billybifocals007/20150510_095221_zpsrqs8n6u5.jpg~320x480Watch on my left arm:http://rs288.pbsrc.com/albums/ll195/billybifocals007/20150510_095603_zpskada8igb.jpg~320x480As you can see from my photos above, the watch isnt huge.Some of the reviews were making out that this watch is ridiculously big, but it isn't at all. I measured the circumference of my wrist and its about 8.5 inches around. I consider that I've got quite slim wrists given that I can wrap either hand around the other wrist and easily have my thumb and middle fingers touch together.The build quality and attention to detail is fantastic, easily worth the £80 I just paid for it.The chronograph is awesome, especially the 1/10th of a second dial at the 6 oclock position that sweeps around very fluidly. It does this for exactly 30 seconds and intentionally stops, leaving the main chronograph hand still moving around.Another cool thing that it does is allow you to start the chronograph and take seperate times by then pressing the bottom button beneath the crown. Pressing the bottom button again makes the chronograph second hand rapidly spin around to the point where it would have been, had you never stopped it, difficult to explain but very very cool.Ok onto the crown etc, its impossible to screw the crown down no matter how much you rotate it when its in its closed position. As I regularly wash up whilst wearing my watch I tested to make sure whether it actually is water proof despite the crown not screwing down fully. I dumped the watch into the bottom of a large bowl filled with water and patiently waited for any air bubbles to emerge from the crown area.Fortunately there were no air bubbles released so the watch actually is water proof, despite being unable to screw the crown right down.In the product description it states that the bezel is bi-directional which means its meant to be able to rotate left as well as right. In fact its only possible to rotate the bezel counterclockwise/left. Not a big deal, but again, more inconsistencies with the product description.Contrary to what one reviewer said, the hands as well as the hour markers do actually glow in the dark. The clock face obviously doesn't illuminate because there's no light behind it.It is very comfortable to wear and the rubberised strap feels like it will last a life time. It feels quite tight on my wrist and I've got 4 holes remaining on the strap so I guess this watch would be suitable for people with huge wrists measuring over 9 inches around.The gold plating and detail on the strap is very very nice, it doesn't look cheap and nasty, it looks like a genuine solid gold watch. Time will tell to see if it eventually fades.The left side of the watch has INVICTA (Latin for "Unvanquished / Invincible" ) engraved into it, again a very nice touch.The watch feels very well built and overall I'm very impressed with it.At just 80 quid this is an absolute steal and would make a fantastic gift for any guys.

I love my pro diver. Keeps great time and looks great on the wrist. Very solid watch and worth every penny.

This is the second invicta watch that I have bought. This one looks really good and it's great quality. The silicone strap compliments the watch with it also being gold and black and the dial stands out being black surrounded by a gold frame. The silicone strap is soft and comfortable while being well made. I'm sure that it won't be too long before I purchase another invicta watch as they are a quality timepiece and well priced.

This is a big, heavy, beautifully designed, well made watch. I have absolutely no issues with the watch itself. I had it over a year now and it is still as new! The watch face is truly gorgeous and belies the value of the watch. The only let down is the strap - it is a very thick, solid plastic thing which is not flexible at all, resulting in strain and discomfort in my wrist especially whilst driving. The solution was to go for an aftermarket thick silicone strap with carbonfibre mesh front and gold stitiching actually improving the aestethics of the watch, whilst making the watch wearable in all situations. Beware the watch is big and heavy, and is not suited for people with a small wrist.

One year on and it's still looks great keeps fabulous time and for such a big watch it's super comfortable to war... and people do notice it...

Nothing too dislike about any invictus watches,love them,quality watches,for reasonable price

What a watch!!! Make no mistake, this is a big, chunky watch. If you don't like your watch big and noticeable, this is not a watch for you. The detail is amazing and it looks very expensive. I've read a few disparaging comments about Invicta online, but the good comments way outweigh the bad, and I've got to say, I'm VERY impressed with the quality of mine.Not had it long, so I'm not sure how well it keeps time (although so far it seems fine), but it's such a stunner that I'd still wear it if it didn't work and I had to move the hands manually 24 hours a day.This is my first Invicta, but now I've got the Invicta bug, already ordered a second and on the lookout for a third.All this and it was delivered from the US in 3 days just for an extra tenner.Seriously, this is a great deal for a beautiful watch -- 5 stars is a no brainer.

The watch looks great, but unfortunately it's not waterproof. Went swimming this morning 6ft deep at best and its condensated inside.Disappointed really considering its meant to be 10 bar proof.Just another watch now really.
