The watch is a statement. The combination of brushed and polished stainless side by side provides a look of the Sub Mariner big R. It is large and is not something you want to wear to hide it. I like the idea of having a stop watch always at the ready. I have a boat so the fact that it is waterproof even to depths is a plus for me. (Just be sure to tighten the adjusting screws to prevent leaks getting in)

If I had to get critical of it I would say that the second hand moves in whole seconds, and when it jumps it is not set to land exactly on the individual second marks. I have a Rolex that I bought a long time ago when they were expensive but only about 25 cents on the dollar to what they cost now, and that one the oyster perpetual (Not a GMT Master that looks like this one that my brother has and is even more expensive than mine) but the second hand on the rolly moves in tiny increments. Let's say it moves 3, 4, or 5 times per second. This Invicta has a made in Japan time mechanism and I am sure the time keeping is dead on accurate, so my second hand aversion is a minor one.

I think multiple watch ownership is desirable and this watch fills an interesting niche. From the moment I opened the box my immediate thought was Wow that's a beauty. It comes with plenty of links so I still have to get one or more removed. Definitely a welcome addition to the watch arsenal, or if you are looking for a larger to be noticed watch for general purposes, especially if you are a diver or boater, plus it has a timer to boot, this is a good choice.
