Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Brown Ostrich Leather Watch #0008-IS464

Comment: It is a good looking watch but larger than I expected with a much wider band than I expected, however it is very comfortable to wear and easy to read. I would buy it again.

Comment: band and watch to big, will never use this product, was not well defined.

Comment: I purchased one of the Swiss Automatic Time Square watches from shopnbc and the band that came with it was a plain leather band.
The band on this watch is larger for the top portion and smaller for the bottom. Notice the picture. The strap for this watch is simply
straps made by Hadley Roma and they are made for the Times Square series of watches. The watches were either automatic or quartz.
The strap that comes with this watch is rather expensive if purchased alone. However, I purchased the watch so I could use the strap on
my Times Square Automatic watch. There isn't anything wrong with the watch that is attached to the strap. It is a good quality Invicta
diver looking watch. It isn't a true diver as it doesn't have enough water resistance for true diving.
If you have one of the Invicta Swiss Automatic or Swiss Quartz watches, this strap will be a perfect fit.
Well worth the money at twice the price.(For the strap alone)!

Comment: This is my second Invicta watch,Been very happy with this company. The quality is well beyond it's price point. How can you go wrong with a swiss movement and a Osterich leather band for 60.00$ As stated before the band is shiny, which I feel will fade with wearing, not a big issue for me. I love the size of the watch and how comfortable the band feels. My only complaint is I wish the band would be a little longer, I'm 6'3 and i can only have it in the second opening.Again, not a huge issue. The fit and finish is amazing, it is very polished very clean, it is my work watch and after the second day, i don't even feel it any more, which is something for a watch the is almost 50 mm wide! I'm trying to convince my wife that I need a 3rd watch! I would recommend this watch to anyone.

Comment: First, to comment on the watch's appearance:
The leather looks like ostrich leather, and the band gives a dressier look than I expected. It has a shiny finish (think shine, but not patent leather shine). The dark brown compliments the silver watch quite well, and it looks great if you want to look a bit extra nice for a meeting, dinner, date, etc. The material is somewhat stiff and takes a lot to break it in (I'm still not as far along as I'd like). One thing I think is worth mentioning is the band width. The band at the top of the watch (on the outer side of the wrist) is wider than the width of the pin, but on the other end of the watch, it is the same width as the pin. It doesn't look like much in the picture, but it's enough to bother me a bit. Not a deal-breaker though.

As far as function goes, it works very well. The time is kept accurately. The small magnifying spot on the face is a nice feature. The hands and dots do glow at night, at least for a while. The rotating bezel feels a bit loose, in that it turns easily. Not a big problem, though I don't plan on doing any diving with an ostrich leather watch, it would be nice if it were a little more stiff. The crown doesn't pull out easily like some watches, and the case does come up around it to prevent catching and accidental time change.

All in all, I think a solidly built watch. Not five stars for three reasons: the stiffness and shininess of the leather, which is not apparent on the pictures; the strange difference in band width; and the loose bezel.
