First thing's first: this is not a man's watch. At all. It's 38mm and it's rose gold. There is a reason some are calling this "feminine," and that's because it's almost identical to several Michael Kors rose gold watches out there, and those are marketed directly at women. Compare this watch to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Michael-Kors-Women-s-MK5314-Classic-Rose-Gold-Tone-Stainless-Steel-Watch/dp/B003Z2PJ2E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Michael Kors Women's MK5314 Classic Rose Gold Tone Stainless Steel Watch</a>, and you'll see that the only difference is that the watch being sold here is 4mm smaller in diameter - which makes it even more feminine.

Now, I bought this for the girlfriend for Valentine's, because she'd been wanting a rose gold watch. Decent but good-valued watches for women are notoriously hard to find. They're either garbage and priced accordingly, or they're fashion garbage and priced astronomically for no reason.

Enter this Invicta. I feel like this is a great watch for what it is: a good value fashion watch. You won't win over any watch enthusiasts, but if you're looking for a rose gold watch, this one is hard to beat: reliable quartz movement, stainless steel construction, and a reasonable water resistance rating, all at a fair price (especially when compared to the exact same watch from MK, which sells for more than twice as much - it literally uses the exact same quartz movement and materials, so there's no reason for the markup).

As with almost any plated coating, it will eventually wear off on this watch. After only a few weeks, the girlfriend's watch has the usual "desk diver" micro-scratches at the bottom and side of the bracelet. Luckily, we took out enough of the spare links when sizing the bracelet that if the scratches get really bad, we can swap those back in.

Speaking of sizing: this watch comes sized for about an 8" wrist. I had to take 7 links out for it to fit the girlfriend (and there are only 8 removable links). The clasp is adjustable, too, though, allowing micro-sizing adjustments (2mm-ish) beyond the 1cm or so you get per link.

The watch has a bit of heft to it (being stainless steel), but the bracelet is not has heavy as some of my higher end divers. That's to be expected, though. In fact, it's probably a good thing this watch doesn't weigh a pound, because the girlfriend would probably complain that it's too heavy. From what I could tell, the links looked solid, but the end links are hollow. Not a big deal, especially since she's never going to actually dive with this watch.

I was surprised to find that the diver's bezel actually works! It rotates 60 clicks counter-clockwise, and the markers line up perfectly. The girlfriend doesn't really understand its function, even after I tried explaining, so I guess it's another "gee whiz" item. The the watch will never see a scuba tank, but it's nice to know that Invicta took the time to make things actually work. Too many times you'll see chronograph sub-dials, but no chrono push-buttons. What? On the contrary, all the "complications" on this watch work perfectly.

The buttons for the chronograph (stopwatch) function are a little stiff, yes, but the girlfriend has no problems using the function. Contrary to what another reviewer said, you DO NOT have to hold the buttons down. Ever.

The chronograph buttons work the same as almost any chronograph/stopwatch I've ever encountered:

1. Push the top button to start.
2. Push the top button to stop.
3. When stopped,
a) Push the top button to start again; or
b) Push the bottom button to reset.

You never have to hold any of the buttons for any reason. The seconds counter (at 6 o'clock) will tick until you reach a count of one minute, at which point the minute counter (at 9 o'clock) will advance once. Reset the chronograph, and both dials will zoom back to 0.

This watch is a little different from more high-end chronographs in that they usually include a sub-second dial (usually 1/10s of seconds). This watch's chronograph function, though, only has seconds (at 6 o'clock) and minutes (at 9 o'clock). The subdial at 3 o'clock is actually a 24-hr dial, but it is not independent. In other words, it just tells you the "military time" equivalent of the time the main two hands show. Kind of a "gee whiz" function, but it works. The date wheel is smooth, and the date has been revolving reliably around midnight.

All in all, this watch is perfect for a girl who just wants a "nice rose gold watch." It'll take a beating, it'll take a bath, it'll keep on ticking, and it'll look good doing it.
