First, I'm not real big on watches. My iPhone and computer (on which I spend most of my days) negates virtually any need for a watch. But sometimes, one just wants to wear a nice watch, and there are indeed times when I really need one. This Invicta fills the bill, and then some...and the price is reasonable for such quality. I especially like having the timer, which allows me to wander around while something is cooking or in the oven or when I'm watering the garden or lawn. I don't dive, but it's nice, too, that I don't have to worry about forgetting to take it off when I wash the dishes or shower. Like many of the gadgets and software programs I have, I may never use all of it's functions or even know how to use them, but it's nice to have the options.

There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of watch brands around. But, for the price, this one is hard to beat for quality (objective) and looks (subjective). If you want a watch that is informal but looks good, I recommend this Invicta for casual wear.

UPDATE: If you do not wear this watch every day and maintain a relatively active lifestyle (for the sake of the self-winder), you will have to reset the time and date each time you use it. Another "con" is the heavy weight. For divers, this will make little difference, but for those who live above water level like I do, the weight of this watch will keep you conscious of the fact that it is on your wrist. Bottom line: I wear this watch a lot less than I thought I would.
