The Invicta 1807 is a solidly built watch with a thick solid stainless case and the weight to match the size. The case is well over 1/2 in thick with a nearly flush crystal (it extends a hair above the case). The watch band is black rubber with good flexibility and no stiffness. It's quite comfortable. The watch face is a striking blue color with large white numbers. The blue slightly changes hue and looks spectacular when light reflects off of it. The main watch face hour markers are half digits (2,3,4,8,9,10) and the remainder are lines. I'm not a watch connoisseur, so forgive me if the word "lines" is an incorrect description. In low light, the hands and main hour markers all glow a soft blue color. There are three sub-dials on the main face. The seconds sub-dial is on the bottom and there are two sub-dials for the day of the week and day of the month above the seconds dial. There is a steel bezel around the case with black numbers and lines to indicate seconds/minutes.

It's usually hit or miss with me and rubber watch bands. Some hold up well, others don't hold up well at all. As soft and flexible as this band is, I have confidence it will not easily crack or split. Only time and different environmental factors will ultimately tell. Even if the band doesn't hold up well over time, it's easily replaceable with a standard watch band. In fact, I have an Invicta 1550 with interchangeable fabric bands that would fit this. I may experiment with a couple of those bands on this watch. If you buy a replacement band out of need or just to change the look, just remember this is a big heavy watch and will need a sturdy band to match.

This watch is virtually identical to the Invicta 1808 (which I also reviewed). Other than different face colors, they are otherwise exactly the same. The blue face of this watch is more visually striking while the 1808 is more formal and subdued. Both watches are very stylish and either would work well in either a formal or informal setting. They are very versatile. The watch feels nice and solid on the arm and wears well, a very good choice for someone looking for a quality chronograph at a good price. In addition, the watch comes attractively boxed and if purchased through Amazon, the base warranty is extended up to five years.
