Great looking and heavy chronograph watch. Diamonds are almost invisible, but still a outstanding value.
By Anjana Nigam
I was very happy when I opened the package and saw this watch. The words that come to mind when describing this timepiece are handsome, solid, beautiful. It is a chronograph and consequently it has the size and heft of a chronograph. The ladies model is reasonably big when equated to the more delicate jewelery watches available for ladies.
To give you an idea of the size, the dial is with regards to 1.5 inches all over (the middle glass division is a tiny bit more spectacular than a quarter + the bezel). The strap is also wide at little more than half an inch (5/8″). The model number is #4718 which is the stainless steel watch with a mix of stainless brushed and polished finish just like the picture. (The #4719 noted by another reviewer is the two tone stainless and gold model.) The case of this watch is thick too, just over 1 cm (7/16″) so don’t go for this watch if you are looking for a slimmer and lighter watch. In fact, the picture made this watch look more delicate than it is in person.
If I was picking this watch for a man with a slimmer wrist, this would look better than the male version. In fact, this Movado Men’s Juro Watch #0605023 has closely the same case diameter as this watch.
This watch feels heavy and solid on the wrist. The band is around 7.5 inches so you’ll have to take out a link or two if you have the intermediate wrist size of regarding 6.5-7 inches. The 16 diamonds on the bezel (2 in each section) look much more prominent in the picture than they are in person. They are just as huge as a pinprick, closely too tiny to be seen by the naked eye!
However, diamonds or no diamonds, the watch looks pricey and like a quality product. It has a finelooking stainless steel finish and a mother of pearl dial. The hands and number markings glow in the dark. The push button on the 2 sides of the winder aid control the chronograph functions. The motion is “Swiss movement” and it is water immune upto 100m. It comes in the signature bright yellow Invicta fake-leather box (box made in China) with an outer yellow cardboard box with an embossed Invicta logo. Inside the box is a warranty form, an international warranty card, and the manual etc.
Invicta is an older Swiss watch company (est. 1837) with a reputation for making outstanding timepieces, and the quality is apparent in this watch. A watch review web site cited that if Rolex is the Bugatti of watches, then Invicta is the Camry. I’ll take the Camry, given the price and value factor!
Invicta is likewise providing 1+4 years free platinum warranty as per the current advertizing if you buy it from Amazon. (a $35 value)
If you still want to learn more there is an closely identical Bulova Women’s Diamond Chronograph Watch #96R19 available that has 70+ reviews, most of them rave when it comes to their purchase. It is likewise the same price as the Invicta. As brought up above, Invicta is a Swiss based watch company (although they now have an office in Florida) and Bulova is an American watch company started in New York by an immigrant in 1870s.
I love this watch, and can’t stop admiring it. It unquestionably looks more highpriced than the price I paid.

A decent timepiece for the price I paid of $179
By D. Frank
I received this watch today. I purchased it as a “gold box” buy for $179. Seemed like an magnificent buy. But, there are a few “untruths” given as the item description.
* The model number of the watch is actually #4719, not #4718
* The (16 handset, sparkling diamonds) are the most ridiculously little chips I have ever seen, actually they are in a literal sense too little to be seen. The picture shown and description makes you believe that even though small, they would be visible. Not so.
* When you hold the watch to your ear to listen the “tick tick” of the second hand, it skips and is without doubt or question irregular. I haven’t had it long sufficient to tell if it keeps proper time yet.
* The back of the watch case (with the model#) is twisted around. I don’t know if that is important, but it seems like for a nicer brand watch it ought to be put together better.
On the positive side, it is a heavy, substantial watch. It is shiny, nice looking and wearable as an each day watch. It is a bit rugged for evening, but it depends on what you do in your evenings I suppose.
Overall, it is pretty nice… I just expected more and a bit better quality.

I Love It!
By J. Dimaria
I ordered this as a gold box special. For 179.00, I am very pleased with my purchase. The mother of pearl face is far nicer in person, and the picture on the web site does not do this watch justice. Yes, as the other reviewers noted, the diamonds are very, very small. However, it is just sufficient bling to accentuate this piece. The chronograph functions work great, and my jeweler sized the watch for me free of charge and brought up this was a great price for this watch. Also, the extended warranty offered to amazon customers, a 35.00 value, gives you a total of a 5 year warranty. Overall, I am very pleased.
