As a surveyor that does a lot of work in the oil fields of North Dakota I go through watches like no one's business.  I tried everything from Citizen to Remington, Fossil to Seiko, and I've had each style break on me from prolonged usage outside whether from extreme cold or being dragging across the dirt (I duck under a lot of barbed wire fencing.

I've been trying out the Invicta Men's 1530 for about two weeks now and have been pretty pleased with the results.  While the weather here has been fairly nice, I have subjected the 1530 to 12-hour shifts of cold weather and then using it as a nice show-piece when I go to my other job as a sales rep.  So far, it has worked out fairly well in both situations as it continues to function as if it just came out of the box and it fits my wrist perfectly.

Now, to put things in perspective, I am 6'5 with fairly large hands.  As such, most watches under 44mm look very small on my hands and it drives me crazy.  The 1530 is 50mm and fits just right.  For most people, however, 50mm is incredibly large and cumbersome.  In fact, I loaned it to a coworker of mine to try for an hour and he (a sales rep that is 5'8) couldn't wear it for 30 minutes because it was too heavy.  Basically, this means that the 1530 is a heavy duty watch for the big and tall.  To me, this is a big time blessing but, for others, it won't be so much.

I find the 1530 very stylish and very comfortable to wear at both my outdoor surveying job as well as my sales rep job and the clients seem to get a sheer kick out of it.  This IS my new outdoor watch and will continue to be so until I, undoubtedly, will break it.
