Add a dash of high style to any ensemble with this limited edition Invicta chronograph timepiece for women, which is elegantly topped by a bezel ringed with 16 hand set sparkling diamonds. The diamonds are GH color and SI clarity. The shimmery mother-of-pearl dial face includes three silver sub-dials with measurements for 1/10th of a second, 60 seconds, and 30 minutes of elapsed time as well as luminous Tritnite hands and hour markers, small minute indexes, and a date window at 4 o'clock. The round watch case measures 33mm wide (1.30 inches) and 11mm thick (0.43 inches). It's complemented by a stainless steel bracelet band that mixes polished and satin links. Other features include a precise Swiss quartz movement, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

4Great looking and heavy chronograph watch. Diamonds are almost 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 therefore it has the size and heft of a chronograph. The ladies model is fairly big when compared to the more delicate jewelery watches available for ladies.

To give you an idea of the size, the dial is about 1.5 inches across (the middle glass section is a tiny bit bigger 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 mentioned 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 average wrist size of about 6.5-7 inches. The 16 diamonds on the bezel (2 in each section) look much bigger in the picture than they are in person. They are just as big as a pinprick, almost too tiny to be seen by the naked eye!

However, diamonds or no diamonds, the watch looks expensive and like a quality product. It has a beautiful 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 movement is "Swiss movement" and it is water resistant 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 great timepieces, and the quality is apparent in this watch. A watch review site mentioned 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 also offering 1+4 years free platinum warranty as per the current promotion 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 about their purchase. It is also the same price as the Invicta. As mentioned 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.

5Center of Attention, great watch!
By Brendan Wang
To start off, I ordered this on a saturday evening, and received it via UPS on Tuesday around 7:00PM, and that was one-day shipping.
Anyways, the watch has some really cool functions, and looks amazing. I've owned $20 watches at Walmart/Meijer stores, Rolex, Omega, and I've recently been using an iPod Nano 6 with a white Nanotch(tm) watchband. The G-Shock has a white matte finish, and if you're a student, or someone working at a cubicle and wrights a lot, then it is a possibility that you could smear graphite (from the pencil or ink from pen) onto the watch, but you could wash it off with soap and water. This watch uses timezones to calculate the time, and it comes with a manual (timezones are at the last pages). The manual is in English, Spanish, and French I think b: The hands move around based on what the digital display reads; you can turn on and off daylight saving time too. (Watch comes in NYC or Toronto timezone, I forgot :p) We all know that the watch is waterproof, shock-proof, anti-magnetic, so I don't really need to say anything an those topics. You can change the backlight duration from 1.5sec - 3 sec, and it is pretty cool. There's military time (for the digital part) and the normal time with a little PM that is in the top left corner of the left display, when it's the afternoon. It has a really accurate stopwatch, with laps and a split. (Great for running and you don't have to be worried when it rains, unless you have your phone) There's a timer, which for some reason, only goes up to 24 minutes... you can adjust the duration. (You can set it to one time run/alarm, or a constant loop until you turn it off). There are 26 world times, I have mine to London, and it works GREAT. (Takes like 2 seconds to calculate but I'm fine with that) It has 4 alarms, you press reverse or forward to stop them, a snooze (Like a wake-up alarm) and you press either reverse or forward to snooze it. Will come back on in like 3 mins, but you have to turn it off and on again to stop it.) There's an option to turn on hourly chime which beeps twice at every hour. You press reverse to turn on the backlight, and hold it down for 3 seconds to enable the auto-light when you tilt the watch 45°. The left circle on the upper half of the watch displays whether snooze, alarm, auto-light, or hourly chime is on. The middle has something to do with the stopwatch, you can see some accuracy in the timing (I guess xD) and the right circle... This I'm clueless on, but I think it also has to do with the stopwatch and stuff :). The hour nobs are "glow-in-the-dark", and, unfortunately, the hands don't have an illuminating tab on them. The lower left display shows the time in digital form, press forward and it shows the date. The bottom right screen shows the day (eg: Mon as in Monday) and below it is the seconds. (Btw the hands are SUPER precise when they point at the little lines like for example, it is 1:00 or 13:00. The hands point exactly where they should be, and when the seconds reach around 30 seconds, the minute hand moves a tiny notch! Then, when it's 1:01 or 13:01, it points normally.) The contrast on this watch is really nice, I've gotten tons of compliments, some of my friends are even jealous! This is my first G-Shock and I'm not disappointed! I LOVE the double-clasp band, doesn't seem like it will come loose, the buttons have a nice texture, and I learned how to operate this watch in about 5 minutes (I was CLUELESS when I first got it, lol) The manual helps, and I HOPE my review helped you too! Relatively fast shipping, great watch, beast looks, best $100 I spent! This watch is part of the Japan Movement, and is housed/cased in China (I don't care where it was manufactured :D) and I'm simply just impressed... the dial is pretty big, and it it looks beautiful. If you have any questions please ask! I will hopefully respond quickly :)

5Great Watch
By ABC
I am enjoying this watch! Thought it would be to big for my arm (generally prefer 40 mm watches) but the negative display really has a powerful effect on my arm. Highly recommend this watch.
