In some regards, this watch is everything I had hoped.  I was looking for a large, but not obnoxious, watch with some heft to it.  I also like the look of the chronograph function, and I liked the unique color of this watch...rose tone gold on a deep blue face.  Aesthetically I like the watch and it is striking.  Chronograph works, but interestingly enough only reads time to the nearest 0.2 seconds...clearly a cheaper chronograph complication.  My other general complaint is that the general quality and tolerances of this watch are low. This is a sub one hundred dollar watch.  There are gaps in the watch band between the links.  There are even noticeable gaps between the buttons that work the chronograph and the watch case.  This leads me to question whether or not the watch is actually waterproof.  I'm used to wearing watches with much tighter tolerances and much more finely engineered components.

All in all, I'm happy with the watch.  I didn't want to spend a lot but still wanted to get a watch with some weight and beauty to it.  This fits the bill.  Although I am disappointed by the overall quality of the piece (for a watch that supposedly had a $595 MSRP), I didn't spend that much on it and won't worry about wearing it every day like I would a more expensive watch.  If it falls apart after a year no big deal.  if you choose this watch, its looks and mass will impress you...Just don't expect to get a watch that is equivalent to a $600 watch in quality...this one clearly is not.

Updated on August 2nd, 2013: watch stopped working 5 months after purchasing.  The battery is still fine, as I can see the second hand vibrating and chronograph moving, but the it seems the second/minute/hour hands are stuck.  I've heard not so flattering things about Invicta customer service...I'll report back after I go through the warrantee process.  Their literature states service can take up to 90 days.

Updated on January 23rd, 2014:  Watch has been Invicta being serviced since August 27th (that's the date they received it).  By my count, that's 180 days today.  Yep--6 months.  I have sent 2 e-mails to them inquiring about my service ticket.  I got a response from them saying my watch was repaired and was being shipped back to me this week.  Then--the next day, I got a second e-mail from Invicta, asking me to approve the required repairs, with a note at the bottom saying the actual repairs could take up to 90 days after they received my approval.  That would put their service time up to 270 days.  I responded with both e-mails attached and asked them to clarify which was right--was my watch being repaired, or was my watch still awaiting repair.  No response yet.  Bottom line, their service department is so bad I'm going to file a claim with the better business bureau.  I will not buy an Invicta watch again.  Don't believe the hype--the quality is not there and the service is the worst i've ever experienced.

Updated on February 4th, 2014:  Received my watch back last week on January 28th.  185 days to get a watch (that was less than 6 months old) repaired.  Since I've owned the watch (about a year) it has spent more time in Invicta's service department than on my wrist.  This will make me think twice about buying an Invicta watch over again.  I owned a Citizen eco-drive for 10 years and it never broke down or needed a battery.  They are making larger models of that brand now (I have grown into a 45mm watch--my older one was smaller, about 38mm).  If I buy another watch I'll probably go back to a larger model of the Eco Drive.  Just holding the two together, one can tell the Invicta is lacking in quality.
