Decent watch for the price
You get what you pay for. I would say this watch is worth $99, and quite frankly, you can't buy a fine swiss watch for that price. I own several, including Tag, Rolex, Omega, and Movado. This piece does not approach any of those in quality or feel, which is how it should be considering the cost. This watch keeps good time, is WR to 100M, and has a sapphire crystal, which are all positives.
I do have a couple of complaints. The description states that one of the sub-dials is for 1/10 sec. This is not true, the 6:00 sub-dial shows the date, which is totally worthless because it is almost illegible, and the date is already displayed at the 4:00 position. The pointer for the 30 min sub-dial does not line up perfectly with the display marks, and the hands, which Invicta says should glow for 20 hours, do not illuminate in the dark at all.
Overall, given the price point, I am satisfied. However, if I had known all of the negatives in advance, I probably would not have even spent the $99.

Nice value for a swiss watch
I bought this watch for myself right before father's day, so I've been wearing it for several weeks. It's a very nice watch. The embossed finish on the face of the watch is really much more attractive than the photograph indicates and it's drawn a lot of compliments. This is a massive watch - it's larger than most men's watches and it's very heavy. That being said, it's not uncomfortable to wear casually. This watch has two date indicators with one easy-to-read number located at the 4 o-clock spot, and also a calendar dial function with 31 tick marks located at the 6 o-clock spot. To me, the dial calendar is useless as it is hard to read and duplicates a function already on the watch. The stop watch buttons feel a bit squishy to me, with no definite 'click' to indicate stop and start. Also, the stop watch only measures seconds - no tenths. These complaints are minor though. The overall quality of this watch is very high and I believe it to be an excellent value for a swiss watch. I bought it at the amazon sale price and received the 4 year extended warranty for free. Invicta returned the paperwork on the warranty registration in less than one week.

Chronograph watch
The watch is simple, but specific with details. Heavy and not cheap, at least the material. However, it fails to glow at night or allow the owner to tell the time in dark locations.
