Invicta Men's 6693 II Collection 18k Gold-Plated and Stainless Steel White Dial Watch

Needed a watch at the time and got this one on the "Today's Deal". Actually liked the watch look, and what the functions should be, though a little heavy if that's a factor for you. It's the function that I had the problem with. In order of the problems as I found them, First, I needed a watchband adjustment fit, and it took me some time. This watchband is somewhat more difficult to remove links myself, without solid tools (tried the diaper pin method as advised, to no avail) and had to pay for the adjustment. No real problem here on the band, As I assume the wristband fit problem was on me. The more serious problems concerns function. When I tried to adjust the day and date, I had a problem with the crown. I couldn't get the #1 position (for the day/date adjustment) as there wasn't a click like the position #2 (time adjustment). finding this #1 position was hit or miss, and when I did get it, it slid out of position, like there wasn't any kind of lock in place.

Liked the look of the watch so I jumped in and bought one. My husband has a SEIKO KINETIC that is 14 years old and a bit worn so this looked like a nice replacement. When it arrived, I found it to be a really nice looking watch. But, just like a previous opinion that I read here, I could not get the watch to set the day/date. When I pulled to stem out to "position #1" it was very loose and not doing anything. My husband spent quite a bit of time trying to gently pull the stem a fraction of an inch at a time to see if he could get it to function. He could get it to set the date but not the day. So we sent it back. Our feeling is that just because something has a big price tag, it does not mean that it is a quality product. Save your money.

Received it promptly with a free 1 day shipping special and it was very well packaged. It's a good looking watch, but as others have said, it's huge and the band is extremely large. If you are a slender person this will dwarf your wrist. Obviously made for a big person.

Again, I struggled for over 1/2 an hour trying to synch the day and date as per the manual instructions without success. Position 2 which is used to set that info just would not come into play no matter how much I jiggled with the stem. I have adjusted many similar watches in the past but could not get this one to function properly.

End result? I am returning the item
