[Update 2012-08-28 Water Resistance A Washout]

I gave this watch a quick wash with soap and water after wearing it for a week for my camping trip to Yellowstone a few days ago. Water managed to seep in, which caused the watch face to fog up. This watch is supposed to be water resistant up to 100m but apparently my copy isn't. I'll be contacting Invicta since this watch is still within the warranty period. Meanwhile, I had downgraded the star rating from 5 to 2.

Budget Watch That's Perfect For The Outdoors Or For Everyday Wear

The Invicta Men's 1911 Specialty Collection Swiss Quartz Watch is the all-black variant of Invicta's 1900 series (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1901/dp/B005FN16GE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1901</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1902/dp/B005FN17H2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1902</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1903/dp/B005FN18FS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1903</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1904/dp/B005FN195W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1904</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1905/dp/B005FN19NY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1905</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1906/dp/B005FN1A6U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1906</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1907/dp/B005FN1AMY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1907</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1908/dp/B005FN1B28/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1908</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1909/dp/B005FN1BM8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1909</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/1910/dp/B005FN1CAE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">1910)</a>.

- Classic and Elegant All-Black Design
The unassuming but elegant all-black design of the watch makes it an excellent companion to any casual or semi-casual outfit (Because of its size (48mm in diameter, and 13mm in thickness), this watch is not suited for formal wear). The matte texture of the bezel is a perfect contrast to the mirror polished sides and back.

- High Quality Materials
The case is composed entirely of stainless steel with a wear-resistant black coating. The watch features a scratch-resistant mineral watch face and a durable heavy gauge polyurethane watch strap.

- Practical For The Outdoors or For Everyday Wear
The 100 m / 330 ft water resistance of this watch makes it ideal for use in the outdoors. The Swiss quartz movement is accurate enough to help keep you on time for all your appointments (My Invicta Men's 1435 Russian Diver Watch with Swiss quartz movement gains 11 seconds a month, or roughly 1/3 of a second a day).

- Well-Packaged
Like all Invicta watches, this one comes *very* well protected in a yellow faux leather case, which is itself enclosed in a very sturdy cardboard box. The watch face, the sides, and the back of the watch are all covered with protective wrap. The lavish packaging makes this watch ideal as a gift.

- Odorific
A common complaint is that the watch strap yields a strong smell that many people find offensive. However, like my Invicta Men's 1435 Russian Diver Watch, the smell should gradually diminish and eventually cease over time.

[Update 3/11/2012: The watch gained 22 seconds from 12/24/2011 (the date this review was written) to 3/11/2012 (the date Daylight Saving Time began).]

---
The Invicta Men's 1911 Specialty Collection Swiss Quartz Watch not only makes a valuable addition to your wardrobe, it is a high quality timepiece that's practical for the outdoors or for everyday wear. At a fraction of the cost of most other Invicta timepieces, this one's a good value for money.
