Invicta has an extensive line of watches covering a variety of styles and types. Their line of men's watches also includes many Chronograph watches, including several with a stainless steel motif. There are bolder looking stainless steel watches in the Invicta line of chronograph watches, and this particular one is more subdued and among the more elegant of such watches.

The watch has a nice appearance for one in its selling price range, but it doesn't have the look or feel of one in its retail price range.  The sweep second hand appeared to be a fraction behind each number, at least until it got about half way around the dial. Then it seemed slightly ahead of the previous number.  That made it impossible to tell which number the hand was supposed to be pointed to.  For example, if the hand were a small fraction past the 54 second mark, ten seconds later it would be a small fraction before the 5 second mark.

The hands on the chronograph dial were more accurate, but one was off by a small fraction. The instructions come with a procedure to correct that, but I wasn't able to get the hands perfect on one of the dials. That was not a significant problem since it amounted to a few hundredths of a second, but it didn't have the feel of a luxury watch.

One of the good things about the watch seemed to be the warranty. It comes with a standard one year warranty, that will be extended with a free upgrade to five years for Amazon customers. But what it says and what it means are not consistent. In the US, Federal law requires warranties with certain limitations to be "conspicuously designated" as "limited warranties." Invicta doesn't claim that it's a limited warranty, but the warranty statement in the box says that you would need to return the watch with a $25 check or money order (for S&H.) On their website, that price is listed as $28.

I know that it doesn't cost $28 to ship a watch, and handling is a built in part of servicing a watch. I personally don't like the idea that they are extending the warranty instead of giving it to you up front as a back-door way to force you to register, but they are also claiming that all warranties must be registered within 30 days, which is legal only for "limited" warranties.

This watch is certainly on par with many sub $100 watches, has a nice appearance, and has numbers that glow in dark places. The saving grace for the second hand is that since it's a chronograph watch, you would never need to use the second hand to time things.  It doesn't have the appearance of a watch that's in its purported retail price range, and the retail price only comes into affect when you need to pay a percentage of it for non-warranty repair.  If you like the appearance of the watch, buying one from Amazon is not a bad idea. If you see any problems up front, you can return it within 30 days for a refund.
