 NOT SWISS MADE/SHORT BAND- Invicta #4342 Russian DiverDec 07, 2009
By E.P. phone home
I wanted to write this review to inform future buyers of this item, the Invicta Men's Russian Diver Collection Black Watch #4342, of two facts;
1) This watch is not "Swiss Made" as indicated in the pictures of the product that Amazon displays. When I actually received the watch it stated "Swiss Mvmt" on the dial and "Swiss Parts Movement" on the back of the watch case. This means that you are not getting a "100% Swiss Made and Assembled" watch. **Amazon needs to clarify this on the product page and change the pictures to resemble the actual watch that you will be getting.
2) The watch band is extremely short. I have an 8-8.25" wrist and was only able to attach the strap uncomfortably on the last hole. I researched alternative aftermarket 26mm straps and even contacted Invicta for a possible exchange/replacement. The aftermarket straps would only accommodate one set of springs per side without user modification, while this watch actually has two springs per side (probably due to the size and weight of the case). Invicta Service was not able to offer a better solution. The customer service representative stated that the only other option they had to accommodate the two springs, and thus not compromise the integrity of the watch, was a leather band. However, I would have to order it (they would not exchange/replace) and that it measured the same length as the original. **Amazon needs to clarify the actual watch band size instead of just stating "mens".
Some other thoughts about this item;
The watch I received was obviously an open box or return item as it was missing the standard Invicta polishing cloth that comes with all of their watches. It also had some missing protective plastic along one of the sides of the case and the plastic for the crystal had obviously been removed prior and replaced poorly.
Even with these issues, this is a beautiful large watch and would be a great value at the lightning price of eighty dollars for someone with a much smaller wrist and less concern for where and how the watch was manufactured.
A well informed consumer is a satisfied consumer. Amazon please clarify these issues on the product page and maybe reconsider providing more consistent and accurate information on all of your watches.

Big, BOLD, FUNFeb 21, 2008
By Garrett S. Fong
I have owned this watch for a week. Its big, bold and a heck of a lot of "fun". Its a big polished slab of stainless steel, big thick mineral glass (or crystal I am not certain). Beefy canteen lid cover for the crown + dive weight looking stainless accents on the thick resin strap. Even the buckle is BIG.
Its just makes watch wearing a lot of FUN. I have other watches that are more conservative and pretty much disappear on the wrist. I wanted a stainless piece with resin strap that stood out more and... just something different.... something no one else around me has. FUN is what this watch is all about.
Super-easy to read at night too. The hands are polished stainless with glow accents. The shiny stainless hands are the brightest/flashiest looking things on the face and offsets the matte black dial nicely. I dont know if they planned it that way, or just got lucky... either way they surely got it RIGHT.
Its a Ronda quartz movement inside and keeps very good time although a week is hardly enough time to evaluate a quartz movement. I sync'd it with my atomic G-shock the day I got it, and so far it shows no signs of inaccuracy.
I already have 6-7 other watches. So this is adding something different to my collection.

 BIG AND BAD!Oct 10, 2007
By Terry Hawkins
"TGHAWK"
This is my second Invicta watch and as with the first one, I'm not disappointed with the quality.
It actually looks better in person than on the website. and bigger- much bigger. It's really big. And heavy. And shiny. And big.
It gets a lot of attention. Also, I think my left arm getting bigger.
All joking aside, it is a great watch and I really like it.

Huge, good looking watch, but small wrist-bandFeb 06, 2010
By J. Suarez
Had to return this watch because the wrist-band is too small. I am a big guy (6'3") with a proportional wrist size and I could just barely use the last hole on the band. Due to the tight fit and the huge size of the screw-cap crown pressing against the top of my hand, made this very unconfortable to wear. Sometimes I had to switch it to my right arm to keep the crown away from my hand.
I tried contacting Invicta to see about a replacement band, but got no response.
PROS:
-good looking
-keeps perfect time
-easy to see the time, even at night
CONS:
-wrist band too small
-srew cap too large
-no seconds dial

Like strapping a grandfather clock to your wristJan 16, 2010
By Jesse Dorland
I knew before I purchased this watch that it was big. However, I don't think the other reviews really captured it, as I was still quite stunned when I took it out of the box. It is in fact comically over-sized. On the wrist, it feels similar to having a cinder block strapped to your arm. I suggest conditioning your wrist in this wise while waiting for your watch to arrive. The watch face would be equally at home attached to a neck chain in a Flavor Flav video.
That said, everything else noted in the other reviews is accurate. It's a very nice looking watch with impressive industrial styling cues. People will comment on this watch, if only because looking upon it blocks all other objects from one's field of view. The wrist band is thick and high quality rubber, the best I've owned. Everything about the watch feels substantial. This watch means business, and when it's not developing your wrist muscles to Incredible Hulk-level definition, it could be stored in a pillowcase to use as a bludgeon against home intruders.
