The Invicta 1911 Specialty Watch sports a broad, bold face that you can't miss and won't need to squint to see. In the light and in the dark, you can see the time quickly and easily.  The durable, sturdy and heavy weight of the watch serves as an asset, as I don't think any bang or scrape will hurt this beautiful face.  However, the size and weight also earns its only criticism because the weight causes it to slide down a bit burdensomely if it is not on tightly.  The band is big enough to fit giants.  I have it latched about midway on the strap.  The face luminates in seconds when the lights are turned off. I don't expect to need another watch in a long time.  For the current sale price, you can't beat this watch.
