 Grabbed this as it was up for $59 on InvictaShark for their debut and it always seemed to be one Invicta got right from all accounts. Great service from the vendor and they included an Invicta bracelet sizing tool I dare not use for fear of breaking it. Nice touch and the watch arrived quickly and in a small Invicta box which I had never seen before.

We all know what this looks like and with a Miyota movement it should prove dependable. I thought I might gift it but curiosity got the better of me so I sized it and am wearing it now. For the price I paid this is an outright winner! Bezel is tight. Lume is surprisingly good and finish is pretty darn good. Bracelet a little tinkly with hollow end links and a cheap clasp assembly and of course the ridiculous magnifier which doesn't magnify. The lug ends are a bit sharp but nothing to complain of. I'll pound on this one and am curious to see if it will actually stay water resistant. My buddy's sprung a leak at a pool party last year.

So given the price and my contention Invicta can put together a good inexpensive watch I am pretty happy with this coin edge bezel 8926.:D
