This Invicta Women's watch has an interesting style.  The big face is the size of a 50-cent coin or slightly larger. The dial is surrounded by "crystals" and is very easy to read.  The "crystals" give the face of the watch a look that would normally be found on a smaller-sized elegant watch.  However, the rest of the watch is very sporty and the band is made of very cheap feeling navy blue plastic.

I like that the watch is very sporty and the color goes exceptionally well with blue jeans.  I love that the dial is also very easy to read. It is easy to set the time by pulling out the crown fully.  To set the date, I just pull out the crown 1/2 way. According to the underside of the watch it is also water resistant up to 30 meters, although I did not test that as water resistant is not the same as waterproof.

The instructions supplied are for many Invicta watches (the quartz, automatic, and manual watches) of many different types (watches with chronographs or ones with just time and date, etc.).  As a result, this made reading the instructions very confusing and a little bit of a treasure hunt to find the information I wanted.  This one is a quartz watch but I could not find anywhere in the instructions what type of battery it takes nor how to get the watch band links off.

There are two things I dislike immensely about this watch besides the fact that it has a big face that is more of a style for a man than a woman.  First, the band feels like it's made of dollar store plastic.  Second, the band is way too long.  I used an eyeglass screwdriver to loosen the first pin on the watch so that I could move the band down inside the clasp as far as it would go; however, the watch is still too big on my wrist and I have what I consider a normal-sized wrist.  I'm going to have to take this to a jewelers to remove about 2 more links.  I think I would have to have about 4 links removed if I wasn't able to move the first pin to a lower position inside the clasp (similar to the way you would move a belt).

I really think the manufacturer should reduce the links by 2 and supply an extra set of 2 links in the package so that someone who is extremely oversized could have them added on.  I think most women would have to go to the watchmaker to remove links rather than add them which adds on to the cost of the watch. Also, if they supplied instructions on how to adjust the links to inside the clasp (like I guessed how to do) it would help most women from having to make any trip to the jewelers at all.

In summary, I love that the face is very easy to read and I find this to be a sporty watch that goes well with jeans.  However, I feel the band is a little too cheap feeling for the current posted price of $79.00.  If I had purchased this watch, I would feel I paid too much at that price.  Personally, with the large band and cheap plastic, I wouldn't pay more than $30 for this watch and even at that price it's a lot.

December 26, 2011 Update - I had a jeweler remove 4 links today at a cost to me of $8. The jeweler also undid my handiwork of moving the links down into the clasp.

January 4, 2012 Update - I've been wearing this for a week and sometimes the band comes undone because the clasp isn't very strong.  This is another disappointment. I also showed a colleague of mine this watch and she said the Invicta watches have a good name.  However, she was very surprised at how this watch resembled junk or something a kid would purchase. She said she probably wouldn't pay more than $20 for it as it looks like a street vendor watch.  However, she did say that it looked pretty from a distance and the band is a nice color blue; both of which I agree with wholeheartedly.

January 12, 2012 Update - I lowered my review from 3 to 2 stars because this watch has too many negatives such as the cheap band, high price listed, wide face, and now the winding screw on the watch has been pinching my wrist. When I bend my wrist the face of the watch is so large that the screw digs in and pinches the skin on the upper part of my hand.  On another note, I also showed another colleague of mine this watch and she said she wouldn't even pay $5 for it.  In her words, "It's just junk."

UPDATE July 2, 2014 - After 2-1/2 years, this watch broke.  The watch has a new battery but it is not keeping time accurately and the second-hand fell off so that now it's floating in the watch. Since I never cared for the cheapness of this watch, I personally do not feel it's worth fixing.
