The Good and the Bad
The product looks great on most people who use the watch. Some show their admiration for the durability of the scratch mineral covering of the dial. It is a large watch that looks nice on big wrists. But those with small wrists use the watch because of its aesthetic qualities. The strap is ideal for persons with 7-inch wrists but replacement straps are available for those with smaller or bigger wrists.
The watch may be heavy but in time, one can get used to wearing it. The big crown protector is the attention getter of the watch since can only be found in Invicta Russian diver’s watches. There is no problem with gold plating since it does not fade quickly. The gold and black colors are a classy combination that brings out the best features of the watch.
Most of the negative comments centers on the fact that the watch is quite heavy for small people. Some people who are bigger than average also complain that the watch might be too small for them. Size is really a relative thing. If this model is not the right size, then there are other Invictas that might suit their preferences more. The bottom line is that this watch may be recommended for regular-sized persons who have better use for this diver’s watch.
