This was my original review (when I had given this watch 5 stars):

Excellent watch!, January 14, 2009

This is my third Invicta and so far this is by far my favorite watch! It's very large and heavy (210 grams) and appears to be of very high quality. This watch will definitely get people's attention.
A few negative points I should mention for those of you thinking of buying this watch.
1. You do have to get used to winding it every day, which only takes about 30 seconds but some people might not like doing that (myself being used to automatic and quartz watches, I can understand that). You do kind of have to figure out when to stop when you're winding it so you don't break the internal mechanism.
2. The subdials all technically work (one turns every minute, another every 30 minutes and the bottom one every 12 hours), however the buttons don't appear to be able to control any of them. The top button stops the large second hand, the bottom one doesn't do anything. For a watch that's supposedly worth almost $1500 that's weird. I have never seen an Invicta watch with subdials that all work the way they're supposed to. So as long as you're just looking for a great looking watch you'll be happy with this watch.
3. Another thing I should mention is that I did not receive a user manual (not that they're really useful, as any Invicta watch owner is well aware of) but you can download it for free on their website if needed.
I've had the watch for less than a week so far so I will continue wearing it and will update this review during the next few months with additional comments, if any.

8/26/09 UPDATE: The watch stopped working about two weeks ago! So it's only worked for about 7 months. That's why I deleted my review and posted it back but this time with only two stars. This is a huge disappointment, I don't know if I will ever buy another Invicta watch again. I had paid about $150 for this watch on Amazon (it was on sale from the usual $198) but even for a $150 you would expect for it to work for at least a few years as long as it's treated carefully. The watch is very beautiful but it never kept accurate time (apparently it has a Chinese mechanical movement) and it didn't even last me a year. I no longer recommend this watch.
