I just had to have this watch after reading about its "defects". I have too many watches according to my wife and count several Invicta's among them.
This is a large, beautiful watch and I would have to say that it is the most comfortable large watch that I own, having displaced a Citizen diver from that position. Despite the large size, and I have several larger watches, it is extremely light. I really like the "lefty" style which allows me to wear the watch without the crown digging into my wrist. I have a significantly larger Russian Diver which I don't wear very often due to that problem.
The band is great and I really like the fabric over leather which makes the band much more flexible.
The face of the watch is very clean and, though their is a lack of contrast with the white face and hands it is not as much of a problem to me as others have expressed.
The lume is very poor as on all Invicta's, and this is the only reason I gave it 4 stars.
