Tastes vary, of course, (I've always thought the world would be rather dull if they didn't) but I'm going to have to come right out and say that this isn't the watch for me, nor is it one I would give as a gift.

Why?
- The white hands over the white background make it rather difficult to read. For many people, a quick glance isn't going to be sufficient with this one.
- Difficulty in reading is exacerbated by the fact that the face is quite cluttered.
- Luminescence is dim and only lasts about 1/2 hour.
- Watch band has a strong plastic-y odor that has only dissipated slightly in the several days since I took it out of the box and placed it in an open room where there would be a lot of air circulation.
- Watch is huge. With the casing, the watch is more than 1.75 inches in diameter and nearly .5 inches deep. I can only imagine this scale looking good on a man or woman with a fairly large frame. On my wrist, it simply looked clunky which cheapened the overall appearance of the piece.

Invicta may well make a quality product, but my disappointment with the size and appearance of this watch won't give me the chance to find that out for myself.

Note: Stems on this watch are on the left hand side, making this watch one that would traditionally be marketed to left-handed people.
