Women's Invicta II Chronograph Diamond Watch Women's Invicta II Chronograph Diamond Watch

Pros: The watch looked as expected. Very visible and I get lots of compliments about it. Others have said the dial face looks "dirty" because it is mother of pearl. Actually it doesn't. It has a very very light gray hue to it that compliments the silver all around it. If the light (sun light) hits the dial just right you will see a rainbow effect on the face. It feels nice on the wrist. Just the right weight.

Cons: None

Pros: This is a beautiful, classy, elegant watch with a gorgeous display. I bought this for my wife’s birthday and she absolutely loves it.

Cons: Invicta clasp is extremely difficult to open and close.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this when it was under $100. What a great deal. Thanks much Newegg.

Pros: (1) The watch is, while just a little large for my taste, still very pretty and feminine. The face is very easy to read, including the date & all sub-dials.

(2) Other online reviews I read said that the diamonds were too small to see...I've been wearing glasses since 7th grade, and I can see them just fine (full disclosure, I'm near-sighted). Granted, they're small, but I wasn't expecting half-carats for the low price.

(3) I love the polished / satin band. It is substantial enough to make the face look proportionate on my wrist, but isn't overly bulky.

(4) This one's a little cheesy, but I like that there's a "day" indicator in addition to the "date" indicator. I just looked at it yesterday (a rough work day), and was reminded that "tomorrow's Friday!"

Cons: (1) The stainless band / bracelet is a little lighter (in weight) than I expected. That's good in some respects, but I am pretty rough on my watches, so I prefer them to be rock-solid.

(2) Also, I've looked high & low online to find out what exactly the "Flame-Fusion" crystal is...found no consensus. So, I would call that a 'con' since I can't tell if it is comparable to sapphire or is much less scratch-resistant.

(3) Lastly, I knew it before I ordered it, so I shouldn't complain, but I am just not a big fan of mother-of-pearl...in general, but especially on watch faces. I just think the face looks dirty in some types of light. I know, it's purely my preference, and this watch met all of my other, higher-priority criteria, so I'm over it.

Other Thoughts: I really wanted to update my everyday go-to watch from a 9+ -year-old Movado that I have loved. And, I loved the idea of a chrono for those every-once-in-a-while times when you need one. I checked my local jeweler, and tried on a bunch of current offerings from various makers, and most seemed gigantic! I have a small-to-medium size wrist (not tiny), and they felt & looked ridiculous (my opinion). This watch fits the bill perfectly. I feel like I'm not stuck in 2002, didn't have to spend a fortune on it, and have a pretty, girlie watch to wear as frequently as every day. I even got the same one in white ceramic (Invicta model #0727).

Pros: Easy to use
Easy to read
Gorgeous
Not too big yet substantial

Cons: None yet

Other Thoughts: This watch is substantial without being too large. It is beautiful, yet a great every day work watch. It goes well with dressy and casual clothing. I love the water resistance since I swim everyday. I don't know that I would actually wear it diving- but I don't dive that often.
