This is my 3rd Invicta Watch, and is my favorite daily wear. It's appreciably larger than comparable high end automatic watches, but not nearly as large as the CLOWN watches Invicta has been marketing lately. The jeweler that sold the watch sized the band for free, and it's surprisingly comfortable. I thought it would feel like an anchor on my arm, but the extra area under the bezel actually spreads the mass over a larger area....it feels like a much smaller watch on my wrist. It's rare to find a quality automatic watch in this price range. I've read horror stories about Invicta automatics, but never had a lemon myself. They seem to actually run better after a couple of weeks of daily wear. The mechanism on this watch actually ran quieter every day, so I am assuming the Japanese movement has a break in interval. Knock on wood, so far this unit is keeping near perfect time. The stem has a screw lock, although I have not water tested this watch and don't intend to.

All in all, this watch was a great purchase, and I recommend it highly. At this price point, daily wear is not an issue. To be sure, it would be hard to find a more elegant looking automatic watch. It has lots of class at the right price.
