I'm pretty tough on watches so I needed a tough watch. This one is a heavy, solid watch. But it's not too heavy, after a few minutes I forgot I was wearing it. Had to take it to the local jeweler to remove 2 links and now it fits perfectly. I had never heard of Invicta before but the price was so low that I took a chance. Very glad I did, this is a great watch and I would recommend it to anyone who wants more than the usual dainty woman's watch.
