This is a great watch.  Period.  End stop.

It feels solid.  It feels better than the other two Invictas I have and it feels much better than the Fossil or Seiko I own.  The steel band and the actual watch just feel *right*.  Like they will last.

I've already slammed the lens of mine into a metal table's corner (on accident!) and the lens is completely free of scratch.  Since this is a steel watch, you don't have to worry much about scratches.  You could pay more for more a gold plated watch, but if you are rough on it, it will look bad soon enough.  Steel is the way to go.

For some reason, I don't think the image on Amazon really does this one justice.  In person, the shimmering blue face is striking.

It is on the compact side.  I think it's a perfect size (it's much smaller than the other two Invictas I have).  You don't even know you're wearing it.

Mine has been underwater, hit lane lines in the swimming pool, and hasn't leaked.  I am not sure if it's truly 200M worthy (the crown doesn't screw to secure... just depresses), but this isn't a $5000 Rolex.

It hasn't lost a second in about a week.  I will update further when I know how accurate it is, but so far, this is the best watch I've ever had on my wrist, and it's much less expensive than many others I've had.

[Update: I'm still very pleased with this very attractive watch (it keeps great time), but in learning more about watches, I feel it's important to note that the lens of this one is made of "mineral glass".  That's strong, but you can damage it if you strike it against something really hard.  Invicta also has "flame fusion" which is much harder to scratch unless you flail your wrist into rubies or diamonds.  This is much better than the kind of lens you'll get on a Fossil or a Timex, but if you're shopping for an invicta and you think you need a durable lens, look for one with "Flame Fusion", which is their marketing hype for their synthetic sapphire process.]
