This is yet another Invicta watch I add to my collection. The one I got prior to this one was the 0764 II, which follows the same trend of being a big watch. While the 1430 is slightly smaller in size than the 0764II, it is still quite big if you are not into this type of watches. Because of its size, numbers are quite easy to read, worth mentioning as I know people who see this as an advantage over other watches.

As for me, I am loving it! It has a very casual look but kind of elegant at the same time. The black is a little bit shiny for my taste but it does not look bad at all. By simply looking at it you can tell it is very well made and durable (I get compliments on it every time I wear it), the leather band with its white stitching also adds to the look. It is comfortable to wear for its size, but what I have noticed is that the band is a little bit noisy, it has a squeaky sound if you move it too much, which also may draw a little bit of unwanted  attention.

Contrary to prior Invicta watches I have owned, this one did include instructions on how to setup, setup on these can be very tricky as described in my review for the 0764II.

Three small dials are included, one is a 24 hour dial, the other two are used for the stopwatch function and they count seconds and minutes. To set it up, the middle crown sets time on the second click and date on the first. Additionally, it also has a stopwatch function, I have included a picture of the instructions in case they were not included in your big yellow box.

If you are into this kind of watches and are looking to get one, I can definitely recommend this. If I had to choose between this and the 0764II, I would go for the second, not that there's anything wrong with this one, but I prefer the silver look and a non-squeaking band.

Bottom-line, another great addition to my watch collection with the quality you can expect from an Invicta
