Watches are one of the centerpieces of male jewelry and Invicta certainly does a great job making nice mid-range watches that are relatively affordable compared to others.  I've worn the 1717 Invicta for about three weeks now and have been pretty satisfied with it.

While I'm confused as to why a diver's watch comes with a leather band there is nothing that I do not like about the 1717.  It fits comfortable on my wrist and doesn't feel like a lead weight like other heavy watches I've worn (the 1717 is a 44mm while my larger field watch is a 50mm) and it still looks stylish enough to be worn at my sales and office job.

Due to the leather band, I won't be taking the 1717 out into the field when survey season begins again.  Granted, the watch itself seems study enough to handle a few scrapes into the dirt but I don't like the smell of a leather band sticking to sweaty arms not do I think a shriveled leather band looks good either.  The 1717 is definitely being delegated to office and sales duty from now on.

Beyond that, the 1717 is a good watch for just about anyone wanting a decently stylish watch at a price worth affording.
