This model 1808 was my second Invicta watch so I'll be comparing this one to my previously selected and reviewed&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Invicta-Men-s-Model-0832-Force-Contender-GMT-Black-Polyurethane-Strap-Watch/dp/B004PAOF3Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Invicta Men's Model 0832 Force Contender GMT Black Polyurethane Strap Watch</a>.

First of all, this model 1808 is considerably lighter and thinner than my previous model 0832, and it also lacks the 0832's several sharp projections.  Thus, wearing this watch did NOT hurt, not ever, and I can recommend it over the 0832 to others like me who earn (or used to earn) their living sitting down in front of a keyboard and lack the desire to embark upon the necessary exercise program in order to "man up" sufficiently to wear the 0832 without pain.  On the other hand if you actually perform manual labor for a living, this probably won't matter to you.  As a consequence, the 1808 is considerably less likely to stop a charging rhino than the 0832, but that assumes that you could throw or slingshot either one of them with sufficient accuracy to get the job done.

Unlike the 0832, the 1808 has a unidirectional (counterclockwise) bezel and three subdials.  The bottom one is the second hand, the left one shows days of the week, and the right one shows date.  This last one I found considerably inferior to a date window like that in the 0832 for checking the date because only three numbers are marked on it: 10, 20, and 31.  For any other date you shall have to count marks, and if like mine your eyes are aging, this will be even more of a pain.  The 1808 also lacks a 24 hour hand like the 0832 has, which along with the date subdial, means that setting the 1808 to the correct morning or evening time after a short month or a power down is going to be harder than it should be.  On the other hand a better marked dial makes it easier to set the 1808 accurately to the next upcoming minute than the 0832, which may require you to set the minute hand four minutes ahead of current time in order to be set accurately.

In short both watches are "OK", but neither would be my first choice for reasons beyond lacking an automatically time setting atomic movement that I've come to prefer.
