It is exactly as advertised - big, heavy, impressive. I think of the old fighter pilots who might wear this. Some would love this watch because it makes such a bold statement. You have to either be a huge man to pull this off - or have a huge ego. I'm sorry good people at Vine and Invicta, this is not my style.

MRSP - over 1K?. The tag that came with this in the box suggested $629. Amazon has them listed at $89. At Amazon's price, ok. For the right person, this could be a very nice gift.

I did not have trouble figuring out how the "crown" works (that's the stem) or the posts (the buttons on the side for the timers). It's easy enough to read the time, though the second hand sweep is small.

As far as practical? I'm sure there are plenty of other watches with same/better features for less. As for jewlery - well, you either will love or hate this. For the target audience, those who like large watches, this is a very good product and reasonably priced (at Amazon) for its heft & size.
