The Invicta Women's 1158 Ceramics Collection White Dial Ceramic Watch is a very interesting, very large and heavy watch.  It arrives in a very yellow, very large display box which also houses a manual and numbered warranty card.  I imagined that the checkered pattern on this watch would be black, it's really a dark gray and quite attractive.  The large numbers are proportional with the size of the watch and the hands are a perfect complement to the face markings.  I'm fond of ceramics and have admired a Tag Heuer white ceramic watch recently, so receiving this one was a fabulous opportunity.  The simplicity of a face without any extras was appealing to me because I wanted the watch for time and no other data.  The white is very pure and clean, easy to wipe down.  The clasp is fantastic, simple to operate and very secure.  The movement is quiet, with no discernible ticking heard as the second hand progresses.

My wrist is a little less than 6 inches and I've been wearing this watch like a large bracelet.  Unfortunately, the face falls to the underside of my wrist, so I've just ordered the 16 Piece watch tool Kit by SE so that I can push out the watch band pins and remove three or four links.  These pins are not of a screw type or split pin, so you'll need either a watchmaker/jeweler or the proper tools.  Capsu pins (pin and a little cap) are used for the band.

Although Amazon currently offers the extended 5 year warranty on the watch to be automatically applied with registration, it was not.  I emailed Invicta in Hollywood, Florida to request that it be applied to my registration and it was taken care of almost immediately!  I've deducted one of five stars from this watch for two reasons.  First, the thousand dollar suggested price is ridiculous, particularly with a single year warranty.  Secondly, there are neither instructions for band shortening nor a tool for the consumer included, so I had to do a little research on my own to determine the type of pins used.  The watch arrived set to the correct time which I interpreted as either it being set just prior to shipment for my time zone, or signaling that the watch battery would not last as long as it would have had it been shipped with the stem pulled out as often is the case when I've purchased high quality watches.

UPDATE:  I purchased a watch repair kit and shortened the strap in a few minutes.  The toughest part was holding onto the little caps after the pins were pushed through.  If you remove links yourself, be sure to do this in a location where you can keep a teensy tiny stainless cap in your sights and prevent it from flying somewhere.  A pin popping tool assists because the cap often remains on the tool itself and you can slip it onto your work surface.  Be very careful with the ceramic as you snap the caps back onto the pins.  Remember that this is very breakable if it's hit the wrong way or with hard metal tools.
