This watch has a huge face, 2 1/2" across, including cap cover. It also has solid large pins over 1", two in each band. The case is 5/8" thick. The thickness of the band is nice, as is the heavy clasp. The main problem is the band length for such a hefty build watch. The hole side of the band is 4 3/4 " long from bottom pin to end of band and the clasp side of the band is 2 1/2" giving a total of 7 1/4"...not very long for a mans watch. The average band length on a watch comfortable enough for a tall and big build guy is around 8 3/4", a full inch and a half that makes a lot of difference. My Casio divers watch is around 8 7/8", very easy to adjust and easy fits my arm. My Wenger is around 9" and is a stainless steel band with all sorts of adjustment holes along the clasp end and even a "pop out" extra steel piece of over 1/2", Both of these are comparable in price with the Invicta. Invicta has basically designed a nice, heavy duty watch but failed to design or realize the shortness of the band, which is about 1 1/2" shorter than the average band on most larger watch movements. If they redesigned the band, I feel Invicta would have a much better product.  I would not hesitate recommending this watch, but would also add be careful of the band design.  It just does not make sense to design a huge watch, with such a limited short band.

Update 1/2012 : I just felt I did not give this watch a fair shake, being my first large sized watch by Invicta, other than the band design it has held up superbly. The original Renata Swiss battery (#395) is still ticking by the way but when you go to change it you will need a large case opener, which is sold here on Amazon for around thirty bucks. A couple of changes and it pays for itself, besides if you own several large case watches then it is just a given to own it. The watch has kept great time and has retained its water tightness over the last two years I have been using it. The battery replacement is quite cheap running around two dollars for an identical Renata Swiss made battery (#395). I originally bought this watch on sale and after seeing how well over the last couple of years it has performed would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone wanting a robust extremely durable watch.
