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 ...
