Great looking and heavy chronograph watch. Diamonds are closely invisible, but still a great 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 somewhat big when equated to the more delicate jewelery watches available for ladies.
To give you an idea of the size, the dial is in regards to 1.5 inches all over (the middle glass section 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 almost 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 in regards to 6.5-7 inches. The 16 diamonds on the bezel (2 in each section) look much larger in the picture than they are in person. They are just as big 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 pretty 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 help 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 global 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 internetsite noted 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 supplying 1+4 years free platinum warranty as per the current advertising if you buy it from Amazon. (a $35 value)
If you still want to learn more there is an almost identical Bulova Women’s Diamond Chronograph Watch #96R19 available that has 70+ reviews, most of them rave with regards to their purchase. It is likewise the same price as the Invicta. As noted 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 salaried 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 in truth #4719, not #4718
* The (16 handset, sparkling diamonds) are the most ridiculously little chips I have ever seen, in truth they are in a literal sense too little to be seen. The picture shown and description makes you believe that even 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 distinctly 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, significant watch. It is shiny, nice looking and wearable as an every day watch. It is a bit rugged for evening, but it depends on what you do in your evenings I suppose.
Overall, it is finelooking 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 cited this was a outstanding 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.
