When we first received this watch, I was pretty disappointed.  It was intended as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law, who is a very manly man.  I wasn't sure how he would feel about a purple watch.  Luckily, he's a big University of Washington football fan, and their colors are purple and gold.  So, he's pleased with the watch.  It's of the same quality as the other Invicta watches we've purchased, which is very good for the price.  I would have given it 5 stars except for the misleading description of "blue" when it's very purple.
