InvictaMen's Speedway Collection Stainless Steel Watch

A high quality, quartz movement with screw down back and screw down crowns on the side of the watch. Feels great and looks great but if you have a large wrist it will look petite go bigger. Otherwise I highly recommend this hard to find model from INVICTA!

I have been a fan of Invicta watches for a long time, they are good quality watches (for the money), their automatic with NH35A is a monster of a machine, so I decided to try this one, I like the weight, the feel and the looks, the screw down buttons is a plus to avoid water leakage - overall the watch meets my expectations for the price, lumen and crystal have been, to me, a downside, but then again, for the price we are paying, what do you expect - nice watch, inexpensive, great gift

I have always wanted a Rolex Daytona. However, $15,000 was a little out of my price range. While searching a Daytona on Amazon this item came up. I took a look, and it did appear pretty good. Not a Rolex, as expected.I took a flyer, simply to see it in person. How could a watch that costs $75 be in any way satisfactory?The Invicta that arrived is far beyond anything I could expect for the price. I've always dismissed Invicta watches as being crude and not worthy of consideration.The watch that arrived is amazing. Right, it isn't a Rolex. However, it is exactly the same in size and weight, and the finish, gold bracelet, gold bezel, everything is correct. I have owned a Rolex. This is as close as anything to the real thing.I'm really particular about what I wear, and I'm proud to wear this watch.The dial is perfectly rendered. The gold is bright and everything I could want it to be. The bezel is beautifully crafted, and looks exactly like the Rolex.However, the stop watch function is not in any way usable. The sweep second hand is exactly that, a second hand. It doesn't function as a stop watch second hand. The small dials function as the stop watch. They simply don't work as you would expect. And the Hour dial works as a 24 hour dial. Fine, as long as you know what to expect.I LOVE this watch. But it is all show and no go, so to speak. It's all about wearing it and loving looking at it. If you're looking for a functional stop watch, this isn't it. But how many Daytona owners actually use the stop watch function?If you want a Daytona but don't want to spend $15,000, buy this watch. You will NOT be disappointed. It's accurate, beautiful and a pleasure to own.I suppose it will show wear in a few years, but then I can buy around 250 of these for the price of one Daytona.This watch blows me away, I own collectible Seiko titanium, Omega, Tag Heuer, etc. I'm amazed and astounded by this watch.If you wear this watch your biggest problem will be in explaining to people that it isn't actually a Rolex.

I've wanted one of these for a long time as a change from the diver style I usually wear. Beautiful fit and finish, as are most Invicta watches, and a great price...

I want to say right off that this watch is beautiful! I mean it sparkled all over the place and appeared to be worth far more than what I paid for it. I've read a few reviews of people who have had trouble "working" the different functions of the watch but I personally had no problem once I read the manual.The manual of the watch itself is a bit confusing however. But I have since found out that apparently many wristwatch companies seem to make similar manuals. What was confusing about the manual was the fact that Invicta, (Timex and Nautica to name 2 others), included every watch style they have within this one tiny manual.The size of the manual is about 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches and the font size is very small. What they basically do is start out with their simplest watch design and diagram the way to set the time, date, etc. and do that with every variation of that simplest form.Then they go on to the next, more complex design repeating the way to operate the many functions of that watch. So if Invicta had say, 5 different designs to their watches and each design had 4 different variations, you would be looking at about 20 different instructions in the operation of the various buttons and screws.So if you're not reading particularly carefully you can easily find yourself trying to work your chronograph with instructions that they gave for a different variation of that chronograph, (And they don't all work the same).Okay, that's enough about the manual. I must point out that I did send the watch back and the reason for my four stars instead of five really comes down to the manuals layout and the biggest flaw that I found with the watch: it is too reflective! Yes, it's too shiny!The beautiful golden rimmed dials and gold lined watch hands really catch the eye but, the white watch face in the background make it so difficult for me to be sure of what time it is in anything but perfect light conditions.My vision isn't that great I will admit and at 56, I use reading glasses. If the time of day is something like 3:15 PM the positions of the hour hand and the minute hands clash with the gold rimmed sub dials white face in the background and make it impossible for me to tell exactly where the positions of those hands are when I don't have my glasses on.Incredibly, I found it almost as difficult to tell what time it was under those kinds of conditions even when I did have my glasses on because of the high reflections coming from not only the watch hands, sub dials, and white face, as well. The crystal created a double reflection similar to what you would find if you were to put a glossy photograph behind glass in a frame.In my note that accompanied my return I suggested that Invicta apply some form of matte finish to the crystal face. At any rate, this is a beautiful watch and perhaps, for younger eyes, would suit them just fine.The watch felt very well made and functioned as it should and Very good time for the two days that I had in my home. I also have to say that the case that this watch came in was just incredible. The material that covered the case looked and felt like real leather sewn in place. This watch would make an impressive gift right up to and including the box.Oh, I must point out that I did purchase what seems to be the exact same Invicta number 9223 that has a black face instead of a white face. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as pretty as the 9212 because it doesn't have any of the gold lined sub dials and watch hands and the band is brushed stainless steel only. I don't know why Invicta did make an exact same variation of the 9212 but with a black face which I think would have looked nearly as good.
