First, these big Invicta watches are things you either like or don't like. I have three of them already and I like them. They're big and a bit clunky, but that's the look and one should expect it. And they are well made.When reviewing, I generally like to comment on things that aren't obviousy to someone browsing the item, and that's especially true of how something looks. I'm making an exception in this case because while this is sort of a typical Invicta face, the large, almost-Deco numerals and the very chunky ends of the minute and hour hands are different than other Invictas of this type that I've come across. At first I really didn't like the looks of the dial, and felt it was too 'in your face' (even compared to Invicta's usual stuff) but they grew on me, and it's very very easy to tell the time (despite the chronograph dials making the face busy) without glasses (I'm far-sighted).

Let me start by noting this is not really my taste. There's no accounting for taste, so if this looks good to you, knock yourself out.Also, if you're left handed, it's cool that there are great watches for you too. I don't see that very often. The stopwatch function is the first analog one I've ever found actually useful. It's actually better than my digital stopwatch. It's very easy to read precisely and it's very easy to use, and more importantly, it's actually very accurate. The buttons are also responsive. This isn't just a showy feature to help the watch look cool. This stopwatch is designed and intended for serious use. The watch is huge! And thick! I actually got used to wearing it within a few hours... it's substantial, but the leather band helps keep the weight on the sane side. That band is not leather on the outside... some sort of cloth (and it's a durable cloth) but is soft leather on the inside. Comfortable and durable...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Invicta Men's 1512 I Force Collection Chronograph Strap Watch (Watch) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) I gave this to my husband to try out, and while he really liked it, there were a few things he didn't like about it.It is a comfortable watch - the band is fabric on the outside and leather on the inside, which means that if you happen to get hot while working or while outside, your sweat won't soak up into the fabric as much (thus becoming stinky). The watch dials are fairly easy to figure out (I thought), and the timer is easy to use - a bit awkward though, depending on which wrist you wear the watch on. This is a big watch, though, and my husband can't wear it all the time, as he works with his hands a lot and would get in the way of machinery and such. My husband didn't find that it was too heavy (most likely because of the band material). He will be wearing it for special occasions, since he can't wear it at his day-to-day job. |
