This is my second disappointment from Invicta in as many years.  I do not understand why a solid company with a good reputation has turned its back on its history to follow fashion fads.  Several years ago we bought one of their divers watches for our daughter, and it was surprisingly, much more elegant than their current "luxury" or day to day models!

This watch is big and thick (roughly 3x the thickness of my Skagen, and twice again that of a Timex).  I know that this is unnecessary having purchased Invicta watches in the past which were much more sleek, and in my opinion nicer looking.  My sense is that this particular fad is going to go the way of bell bottoms.  Though not as obvious, it is  more expensive mistake for anyone who wants a watch to last more than a season.  Even though I am fairly tall, I feel conspicuous with this on.  I wish Amazon would add thickness to their watch search categories, as that is a feature I look for, much preferring watches a fraction this heft.

I know the company from experience, having several of their watches in my household, some over a number of years.  They are well made, and the company backs them with a solid warranty.  They are made with quality materials: Swiss movement, mineral crystal, nice quality build and finish.  It is water resistant (though I would not take it diving) with a finish that does not look like it will rub or wear off.  It is easy to set and easy to read, but would have been a lot more wearable and have more overall utility if they had not bowed to a fashion fad and made it so thick and heavy.

It comes with a very large bracelet which can be adjusted by removing pins and a very secure clasp (and consequently could be used as a men's watch which might look more appropriate on the average person).  All in all it is a solidly built, nice looking watch which I am sure I would enjoy if it were 1/2 to 1/3 the thickness and weight.
