I have to admit to ignorance about Invicta watches -- in the past I have been able to wear a man's watch of this type without any problems, as I have rather large wrists. The band was perfect for me, as I could put it on the tightest hole and it fit. However, the watch actually engulfed my wrist, and in addition was so heavy that within a few minutes my arm actually felt tired. My warning is to anyone who thinks this is a unisex watch, it is not. Then I had a male relative try on the watch to get a man's opinion. He has very large wrists and had to use the loosest hole on the wrist band, and stated that it did not feel secure. He also stated that the weight was an issue for him as well and wondered how comfortable it would be to wear the watch over a period of several hours. We both were of the opinion that the watch would be something that one would wear as a fashion statement more than anything else, as the weight and size could be as issue when participating in a sport, such as golf, where it could actually hinder the wearer. Fatigue could also be an issue for ordinary non-sport activities, such as keyboarding.

In appearance the watch is beautiful. The face is a work of art. I spent quite a bit of time just gazing at it! It is waterproof, as I tested it in a sink, so I will take the manufacturer's word about the maximum depth that one can wear it. The presentation box is lovely but the literature is lacking in the area of detailed instructions. The crystal is so heavy that I doubt anyone would have to worry about it cracking or breaking with normal use, or any use for that matter. All in all, my opinion is that this is a beautiful, sturdy watch for a larger man, but probably not for him to wear on a daily basis due to the weight and size. It would be a watch to wear to impress others and to enjoy wearing a beautiful piece of masculine jewelry.
