I was excited to get this Invicta watch because I've seen how great their men's watches look, but I was sorely disappointed when I opened the box. I especially laughed at the Amazon description that called this watch "wondrous", because there's nothing wondrous about it.

The band of the watch is hard plastic and won't bend, and is a weird melon-like color. I wore the watch for a few hours and adjusted the band, but it still made cheap-plastic clanking noises the whole time. The face itself is alright with nice large numbers and a date window, but the crystals around the face are just hideous. I feel like Invicta tried to copy a Michelle design and at $99, they obviously cannot come up with the same look. The crystals are gaudy and cheap looking, and this watch would have been much better off without them.

Is this a good watch technology wise? Sure, it is powered by Swiss quarts movement. Will it last? Probably. Will I wear it? No way. I just think the whole look screams "cheap" and "I'm trying to wear a Michelle knock off".

P.S. Check out this watch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NZV9YQ or search "Geneva Platinum CZ Accented Silicon Link Watch". Only $12.95 and looks exactly the same...
