This is my first oversized watch by any company so I have nothing to compare it too except my own raw experience and of course being familiar and owning other brands of luxury watches. First of all this is a wrist clock. The size of this thing is daunting. Its heavy but the weight did not bother me much in fact I liked that feel of brawny manly weight. The leather watch band is great and goes well with the copper colored bezel. The construction is that of a tank. Its rated at 1000 meters water resistant. This is well over 3 thousand feet. I wanted a watch that I could abuse and beat up on and this tank of a watch seems to fit that bill nicely. The machining of the steel is top notch. Changing the band should be easy given the screw configuration it could be done at home. The first day I wore it to the hospital where I work patients and staff alike commented positively about my Venom wrist "clock". I love the way it looks and time well tell about the durability of this time piece. If any abnormal wear issues occur I will update this review. I had to dock it 1 star because they way that  the bottom curves is a bit exaggerated and the pushes into the outside or lateral bone of the wrist. Thats the part of the wrist that has the ball joint sticking out. This rubbed on it in an uncomfortable way. Pushing it up higher on the wrist does help somewhat. My wrist is about 8.5- 9.0 inches and I think a smaller wrist would accommodate this watch better. You might think the opposite but my experience with this watch proves otherwise. Is this issue so bothersome I would want to send the watch back or even take it off and not wear it much ? No. It's not a game killer for me. However it can be distracting at times when it rubs up against this bone. It is not a band issue. Changing the band will not solve the issue. That said I love this muscle watch. I do think this is quality at a discount price. Would I buy another one with this type of structure? No I would not. Could I be persuaded to buy another large big faced wrist clock? Yes absolutely. All in all the aesthetics are stunning and it will get noticed. Final verdict -- recommended especially at this price point currently 299. Nice job Invicta. Now if only the reviews for customer support were positive.... BTW this watch is useless in the dark which means its a show piece not for actual diving where the lumens rating is very important.
