At first glance and feel, this Specialty Collection Invicta men's watch looks and feels well-made. The case is a solid, heavy stainless steel, and the rubber watch band is thick and sturdy-looking. As is always the case with Invicta, it's a lovely watch. The case itself is quite wide - too wide for a lady to pull off, as I have attempted in the past (successfully, I think, in most cases), but that's not a bad thing, as this watch is clearly intended to grace a man's wrist - as it is currently doing with a male friend of mine. The numerals are clear and easy to read, and the overall effect of the watch when being worn by him is of casual elegance that doesn't necessarily have to be dressed up for 90% of the events and affairs he might attend.

All that waits to be seen at this point is how well this watch holds up over the long haul. I had two Invicta watches myself that I absolutely LOVED, until things went wrong with each of them within less than six months of purchase, which is why I've rated this one four stars... my experiences with Invicta products leave me a bit hesitant about the durability and quality of their products, but really, considering that the other two Invicta watches that I owned were both metal and made to look like more dressy but still utilitarian ladies' diver watches, this one is different, and more rugged-seeming, especially for standard daily wear. And at this price point, you really can't go wrong. This watch is low enough cost for most anyone to justify the purchase of!

Invicta makes attractive watches. My brother, who worked with top-of-the-line watches for many, many years (he sold Rolexes, Tag Heuers, Breitlings, Tissots, and other top-notch watches at a luxury jewelry store in the Caribbean), commented on how nice my other Invicta ladies diver watches were, so Invicta knows what they're doing when they design the appearance of their watches. It just remains to be seen how well this one will hold up over time. I'm cautiously optimistic...
