Okay, something is terribly wrong. I read the other review about a "lemon pledge" smell. My package contents, watch box, and watch all have a terrible smell. Think "bubble gum", then turn up the volume to eleven.

This is not normal. Clearly something has happened to this stock (mold, maybe?), and someone has tried to fix it by bathing it in some industrial cleaner or AirWick or something like that.  I have bought Invicta watches in the past -- in fact I have two others of this exact same watch box.  They did not smell at all. It's not the plastic strap -- can't be unless it's made of Febreze!

I guess that's the reason for the sale price!

We typically get unscented dryer sheets, cat litter, etc, and this is exactly the kind of smell we are trying to avoid when we do, but much, much worse.

I am taking this out to the garage while I try to decide what to do with it.
