Having just purchased this watch at Costco and having been a Prime member for years, I figured since there weren't any reviews yet, I'd provide one to help anyone interested. Since picking up my first Invicta watch a few weeks ago and being impressed by the quality, feel and looks of the brand, I've purchased a few more, in fact this one makes my fourth Invicta. I just happened to notice it as I walked by the watch case at my local Costco because it really stood out, especially under the cabinet lighting. I love large heavy watches and this one doesn't disappoint. The blue and gold bezel and face is stunning and bezel looks almost as though it were enameled, beautiful. Having a 7" circumference wrist, I was pleased to find the silicone band was not as long as so many these days and, even though it has plenty of length, it's not so long as to stick up on the far side of my wrist which really improves on the look IMO. In addition, the stainless steel accent pieces on the band really add a great deal to the look as well. This also comes in a gold case version with gold accents on the band however I really like the silver and, for me, makes it a better choice if it's intended to be a everyday watch. Believe me, the size along with the blue and gold face and bezel really makes this watch stand out. Since I use a chronometer frequently, I own very few that don't have one and the chrono on this watch works nicely albeit a little differently from my others. The "seconds" dial at the 3 o'clock position has a red hand and IS the watches true second hand. The large gold second hand only operates when the chronometer's in use. But like most, the top pusher starts and stops the chrono and the bottom pusher resets it. Another unique feature I love is the date "wheel" it uses. It's certainly functional however the design, where the wheel is visible on both sides of center, really adds to the watches visual impact. The face is just beautifully laid out. When you put this watch on and feel it's heft and quality, like me, I think you'll find it's a fantastic watch for the money. But I've also included some photos so you can see how stunning it looks.
