Heavy quality watch May 7, 2010 Viktor Axelsson (Sweden) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I picked this watch as a gift for me from my girlfriend and I love it. It is heavy and solid and feels like you could bludgeon someone with it :) The strap feels high quality as well.
Also that the crown is on the left side makes it much more comfortable to wear on my left wrist.
The only thing I would have to complain of is that there are quite a few scratches on the glass. Though they are extremely small and and only visible in the right light and angle, I am quite anal about things like that though...
Big, bold and brassy April 8, 2010 S. Graves (portsmouth, uk) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
When I first opened the Amazon packaging I was dazzled by the massive bright yellow Invicta packaging. The box is the height of overpowering canary yellow with loads of flaps, lids, padding and tissue paper...
But there was the watch........
My first impression was horror, followed by laughter, it was huge, wide, thick and very very heavy. A bit like wearing a full size clock on your wrist.... I almost felt like a middle class Chuck D.
My girlfriend told me it was vile and send it back straight away... I agreed and re-packaged it.
Later in the evening I went back, re-opened the box and took a closer look, yes it is garish and over the top, and possibly way too big, but it is very well built and has a certain bold charm. I love the little design flourishes and started to warm to its advances.
Anyway after much backwards and forwards, packing up again and then unpacking I finally realised that yes I wanted this watch in my life.
In summary: Its big, bold and garish, its too heavy and generally over the top... but, its got balls :-)
Great
