Invicta Men's 1911 Specialty Collection Swiss Quartz Watch

 (26 customer reviews)

I'm not overly fond of men's jewlery and fancy bright watches, but the black finish on this 1911 model is good looking and subtle for something this size.

The case is 1 7/8" across and 1/2" thick. The face, numbers and hands are large and can be read without bringing the watch up to your face, a glance down will show you the time even if you wear glasses.

Black rubber wrist strap is about 7/8" wide and almost 11" long end to end including the case... Up to 2 7/8" wrist size at large adjustment and down to 2 1/4" wrist size.
Fits me on the third adjustment hole out from case, 2 1/2" wrist size (I'm 6' 180lbs) Of course you can always buy another band if you wanted/needed to.

Seemed heavy at first, and it is compared to an average thin fashion watches, but weighs in at 4.2oz and that is the same as my Fossil watch that has a bit smaller case.

Nice watch, and worth the discounted selling price. In my opinion, would never be worth what...Read more

One never knows what they are going to get over the Internet when it comes to watches and shoes. This Invicta 1911 is big, almost as tall as my wrist is wide (and no, I'm not a big fat guy). Even though the descriptions mentioned it was big I found it larger then expected. I feel like I'm wearing a clock on my wrist (and I thought my Fossil watch was big). It's heavy but not to the point of bothering me. The face is bold and extremely easy to read, so much so no one will ever ask you the time again because from anywhere in the room they'll be able to read it themselves. The numbers and hands glow in the dark well which is good because there is no light (no calendar either). When looking closely you'll notice the numbers are raised and so is the ring of "second" digits. The second hand clicks to each second. The band is thick and appears strong. I like the stem at an angle, not because it's easier to use but because it looks nice. The entire watch is black except for the numbers,...Read more

Sure, the watch looks nice, but if you want to know what time it is don't depend on this watch to tell you if you need to be somewhere by a certain time, since time is one thing this watch doesn't keep track of very well.

I've noticed it losing about a minute per day over the past several weeks. I first noticed it losing time when it was 15 minutes slow one day. I thought maybe the stem had accidently been pulled out and pushed back in, so I set it again and kept track of any difference between its time and that on the phone and on my PC. Sure enough, it was seriously losing about a minute a day.

Losing a second or so a day isn't THAT big of a deal, but a MINUTE each day? Definitely not acceptable.

Since it was over a month since I bought it from Amazon, I didn't think it'd qualify for a free replacement, so I contacted Invitica to see about a warranty replacement. They don't replace their defective watches, instead, they want to charge a flat $28...Read more
