I have owned 3 invicta watches over the last 5 years.  All 3 had the same problems.  All 3 lasted less than 2 years.  I bought this watch and am very pleased with it.  Other reviews are correct when they state that the white hands with white face make it a little harder to read, but it looks good.  It's quite heavy (in a good way) and medium-large in size.  I have very large hands and wrists and it doesn't look out of place at all.  It could even be a little larger and I'd still be comfortable with it.  I especially like the double latch with push-button lock.  It's very easy to open and close, but it never "accidentally" comes unfastened.  It keeps time to my satisfactions, it stays wound long enough for me (I only have 1 watch and I keep it on all the time unless I'm sleeping or doing heave construction type stuff.  And the "gadget freak" in me loves the jewel case so I can see the gears and weights.

I will say one thing that's a little negative for some people. Personally, I don't care. I live near a golf course and golfers seem to notice watches a lot.  I got a lot of "what kind of watch is that" when I wore the invictas, nobody has ever asked me about this watch.  So, if you're going for maximum bling, this might not get it for you.  If you want a nice watch at a great price, you will get it here.
