don't expect a rolex

this is my second invicta automatic.

i got the almost-identical goldtone version then got this for sports/outdoors stuff the other one was too 'nice' for.

comes as advertised with signature leather yellow box. looks better on your wrist than in the ad. for around $100 plus a gift umbrella it's an excellent deal. i'd recommend this as a gift or for personal use and at this price you can buy two.



not as dressy as the stainless-steel versions due to rubber band but still very sporty and masculine. the rubber band does have its advantages though. it survived an outdoor music festival on the eel river and came back none the worse for wear. in fact it still looked new even after several submergings so i don't doubt you could dive with it. the luminous hands and bezel dot are a nice touch but really need a lot of sunlight to charge for any significant length of time.



speaking of which the timekeeping is very good for an automatic watch. it does tend to run a little fast but not by much. like all invicta automatics it can be hacked meaning you can reset the auto movement with a few turns of the crown. that's a big advantage over more expensive autos like the seiko which can only be reset by shaking. that comes in handy if you don't want to wear it every day. otherwise you might have to get a winder.



at this price don't expect a rolex but you do get rolex-type performance at a fraction of the cost. the old adage you get what you pay for isn't true in this case. with this one you get more than you pay for. just don't tell anyone how little you paid let them think it cost a bundle.More detail ...

watch looks great but didn't last long

I ordered this watch for my gf and she loved it. The watch does look really nice in person. However after less than a week of wearing it the metal clasp on the bracelet broke off completely. I'm really hoping that it was just a fluke and doesn't speak for the quality of this brand since i had never heard of it before. I tried to get a new one but amazon was out of stock.More detail ...

A great traveler's watch

I love this watch! The crystals pick up the light and make the dials easy to read. The circumference of the wristband is easy to adjust an important feature for me because I have a slim wrist. When the wristband is closed the loose end of the strap is underneath against the skin so it doesn't catch on clothes or other objects.



I had the previous model of the Skagen dual-dial watch for many years and eventually the mesh band started to unravel. That band was screwed to the watch and I couldn't find a replacement band. This newer model's wristband is attached the same way most wristbands are so if this watch lasts as long as the last one and if the wristband gives me any problems I can replace it.



I get a lot of compliments on this watch. It's a great watch for the money.

GORGEOUS!

I just received my watch and am stunned with it. It is even more beautiful and elegant than I thought. More detail ...

LOVE IT

I have been wanting a watch with a white band for about a year now and was hoping to get a ceramic watch. Once I saw this as an Amazon exclusive I had to have it! I love Invicta watches and the ones that I already own get compliments all of the time. With this watch I wanted something clean looking and distinctive. The rose colored gold is stunning and the quality of the watch is great. It is the most heavy watch I have owned but it makes a statement. This is not a watch for small wrists or for someone looking for a dainty watch. I wear this to work and also in social settings.More detail ...

Invicta 7104 Rose Gold Russian Diver Chronograph Review

The Invicta 7104 is my second round type and first chronograph watch purchased in Invicta's Russian Diver series. Those of you who own these types of watches know that they are BIG!



This watch has a dynamic looking black dial with sizeable green luminescent hour makers. The dial and its hour makers contrast superbly with its 18-Kt Rose Gold case and black strap!



There are three larger luminous hour markers at the 3 6 and 9- O clock positions that also serve as the watch's chronograph complication sub-dials. The small 60-second sub-dial is at the 3-position the 1/10th second sub-dial is at the 6-position and the 30-minute chronograph sub-dial is at the 9-position. The date complication is in the diver helmet at the 12-position and the chronograph second hand also rests at the 12-position.



Ronda's 5040.D Swiss made 13-jewel quartz movement which has a battery life of 54-months powers this 7104 diver. When the chronograph function is started for the first 30-seconds the 1/10th second sub-dial operates visually. After 30-seconds has elapsed the 1/10th hand rests at the zero position on its sub-dial. However the 1/10th seconds elapsed time continues to count internally. This is normal and a wise function that saves the 1/10th second hand from making rapid revolutions around its sub-dial. The 30-minute chronograph sub-dial hand increments in half minute steps so it normally moves twice in an elapsed minute.



Like the other Invicta Russian Divers I have purchased from Amazon this watch reaps a lot of requests to view it. There are waitresses and others in public who openly request to look closely at my wrist when I wear it. This watch draws attention to its owner and is definitely not for the timid.

A Must Have

If you are looking for a watch that has cool looks and gets attention this is it. What I especially like about this big timepiece is always being able to see the hands in little or no light with the blue dial. Make sure you wear for a few days to break-in the band and acclimate to the weight before considering a return. A nice addition to any collection. More detail ...

Poor customer service.

I've got this watch for a while . It's a good looking one I like it . However within 3 months . It's start running late despite of changing batery. I contact toywatch customer service twice ZERO response.More detail ...

Gorgeous watch!

This watch is really gorgeous. I ordered it for my boss and when t arrived my husband got one too. Looks like an expensive high quality watch that can easily be dressed up or down! Invicta's tend to be super bulky but this one is the perfect size. I can't comment on the movement of the watch but no one has complained :-) More detail ...

Love it!

I bought this watch as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it. I warn you: This is not a watch for someone with a small wrist though because the face of the watch is HUGE! (My husband is about 6'4" / 240 pounds). So if your looking for an impressive watch this is it!More detail ...

NICE FOR PRICE

I am wearing this watch as I type this. Just got back from a Christmas party where it was a hit. It gleams it shines. I think that for the $185 or so I paid on amazon on a $850.00 watch is nice. But I saw the same watch on shopBC for $299.00. So I feel its a steal. No "fly market" I ever was in had a nice watch like this. Worth every penny.More detail ...

Great looking and heavy chronograph watch. Diamonds are almost invisible but still a great value.

I was very happy when I opened the package and saw this watch. The words that come to mind when describing this timepiece are handsome solid beautiful. It is a chronograph and therefore it has the size and heft of a chronograph. The ladies model is fairly big when compared to the more delicate jewelery watches available for ladies.



To give you an idea of the size the dial is about 1.5 inches across (the middle glass section is a tiny bit bigger than a quarter + the bezel). The strap is also wide at little more than half an inch (5/8"). The model number is #4718 which is the stainless steel watch with a mix of stainless brushed and polished finish just like the picture. (The #4719 mentioned by another reviewer is the two tone stainless and gold model.) The case of this watch is thick too just over 1 cm (7/16") so don't go for this watch if you are looking for a slimmer and lighter watch. In fact the picture made this watch look more delicate than it is in person.



If I was picking this watch for a man with a slimmer wrist this would look better than the male version. In fact this Movado Men's Juro Watch #0605023 has almost the same case diameter as this watch.



This watch feels heavy and solid on the wrist. The band is around 7.5 inches so you'll have to take out a link or two if you have the average wrist size of about 6.5-7 inches. The 16 diamonds on the bezel (2 in each section) look much bigger in the picture than they are in person. They are just as big as a pinprick almost too tiny to be seen by the naked eye!



However diamonds or no diamonds the watch looks expensive and like a quality product. It has a beautiful stainless steel finish and a mother of pearl dial. The hands and number markings glow in the dark. The push button on the 2 sides of the winder help control the chronograph functions. The movement is "Swiss movement" and it is water resistant upto 100m. It comes in the signature bright yellow Invicta fake-leather box (box made in China) with an outer yellow cardboard box with an embossed Invicta logo. Inside the box is a warranty form an international warranty card and the manual etc.



Invicta is an older Swiss watch company (est. 1837) with a reputation for making great timepieces and the quality is apparent in this watch. A watch review site mentioned that if Rolex is the Bugatti of watches then Invicta is the Camry. I'll take the Camry given the price and value factor!



Invicta is also offering 1+4 years free platinum warranty as per the current promotion if you buy it from Amazon. (a $35 value)



If you still want to learn more there is an almost identical Bulova Women's Diamond Chronograph Watch #96R19 available that has 70+ reviews most of them rave about their purchase. It is also the same price as the Invicta. As mentioned above Invicta is a Swiss based watch company (although they now have an office in Florida) and Bulova is an American watch company started in New York by an immigrant in 1870s.



I love this watch and can't stop admiring it. It definitely looks more expensive than the price I paid. More detail ...

A Lot of Wow Factor at This Price Point

The Invicta Russian Diver Quinotaur 4578 named after the Greek Myth a bullish sea monster with five horns retails for $675. Amazon sells it for $250.



Featuring a swiss-movement rubber strap with silver stainless steel cylinders and a 52 mm bezel (58 mm if you include the crown) the Quinotaur is a large bold watch. I recommend this size watch for men with wrists at least 7.5 inches. My wrists are slightly more than 8 inches and I use the strap's third punch hole. Men I've talked to who are about 6 feet and in the 200-230 range usually make a good fit for this watch.



The watch feels very comfortable and has solid well-built feel. There's nothing cheap about the materials.



If you're looking for Wow Factor without being garish this watch fits the bill very well.



I do have a slight dislike for the little chain that dangles between the crown and the bezel and I'm tempted to have a jeweler remove it if that's possible.



In terms of bang for your buck the Quinotaur gets high marks. I like the Nixon 51-30 series which sell on eBay for $300-330 with metal strap. For about $100 less the Quinotuar delivers a lot of wow.



It feels good wearing it. I feel bigger younger more muscular. My bench press is up these days. I'm happy to help my neighbors carry a sofa up a flight of stairs. I'm back to popping off beer bottle caps with my teeth. No steroids. Just a manly watch. More detail ...

Invicta Womans Watch

The watch face is very nice and appears to have a high quality construction. However the band is not very feminine and for a woman's watch I believe it missed the mark. It has been put into use and functions very well so overall I rate this product above average.



Additional Discussion:

The advertisement stated that a "free football" would also be included in the package but this did not occur. One other negative revolved around the packaging of the watch which arrived soiled and had to be cleaned before I gave the item as a gift.More detail ...
