I knew it was big and that's why I got it. I was curious why Invictas were so popular and decided that,at the price, this would be a good purchase to satisfy my curiosity. I wear it around the house once in a while but I will never wear it in public for fear of all the "What the heck is that thing" remarks. Great for collectors who want a "novelty" watch but not too good if you want a functional diver. This is a fashion watch-not a dive watch.
