The dial also features three chronograph sub-dials offering 60-second, 60-minute and 1/10th-of-a-second sub-dials, a tachymeter scale on the inner bezel and a date display window at the 4 'o clock position.

Customer Reviews

First, these big Invicta watches are things you either like or don't like. I have three of them already and I like them. They're big and a bit clunky, but that's the look and one should expect it. And they are well made.
When reviewing, I generally like to comment on things that aren't obviousy to someone browsing the item, and that's especially true of how something looks. I'm making an exception in this case because while this is sort of a typical Invicta face, the large, almost-Deco numerals and the very chunky ends of the minute and hour hands are different than other Invictas of this type that I've come across. At first I really didn't like the looks of the dial, and felt it was too 'in your face' (even compared to Invicta's usual stuff) but they grew on me, and it's very very easy to tell the time (despite the chronograph dials making the face busy) without glasses (I'm far-sighted).
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BAND MATERIAL: The band is described as being "cloth" but that's not the whole story. It's cloth on the outside (sort of feels like an upscale canvas) but the cloth is sewn onto a leather strap. It lends the band a nice thickness, but do be aware that what you will feel against your skin is leather and not cloth.
Note that while the title doesn't say so, this is what Invicta calls a "lefty" because the control dials are on the left rather than the right. I wear my watch on my left wrist, and I find this works fine.
Having worn this watch a bit, one thing that I didn't think I'd even notice, but which I do, and which I don't care for, is the extent to which the second hand stands out. It's red (everything else is white) and large (it's not on a subdial), and I find that it draws the eye enough to be distracting. Objectively speaking, it's not a big thing, but subliminally I seem to notice it and it'll probably result in my wearing the watch less than I otherwise would.

I gave this to my husband to try out, and while he really liked it, there were a few things he didn't like about it.
It is a comfortable watch - the band is fabric on the outside and leather on the inside, which means that if you happen to get hot while working or while outside, your sweat won't soak up into the fabric as much (thus becoming stinky). The watch dials are fairly easy to figure out (I thought), and the timer is easy to use - a bit awkward though, depending on which wrist you wear the watch on. This is a big watch, though, and my husband can't wear it all the time, as he works with his hands a lot and would get in the way of machinery and such. My husband didn't find that it was too heavy (most likely because of the band material). He will be wearing it for special occasions, since he can't wear it at his day-to-day job.
