Beautiful but HUGE4
As with all Invicta watches, it's worth noting that Invicta has quality control issues and seems to screw up repairs frequently - something that is especially frustrating considering they charge $25 under the "warranty" to repair your watch. That said, this is my third Invicta watch to arrive in pristine condition and without any problems. While I'll still be wearing my 8926 diver on a day-to-day basis, this is a beautiful sport watch that goes well with semi-casual and casual clothes. However, it won't work out well with dressy clothes - at least for me - because it is insanely large and showy. It's also quite heavy - not a problem for me as I'm a fairly large guy, but you definitely know you're wearing it. The biggest plus is the view of the mechanical chronograph movement from the back sapphire crystal. It's genuinely fascinating to watch it work, and the movement is pretty darn impressive for a watch at this price point. So far it's also been surprisingly accurate for me - it's only gained about a minute in the first 2-3 weeks that I've owned it. Finally, I got the 5103 (same watch as this except for the dial) because I thought the color was a bit more unique than the traditional black. The 5103 is sometimes listed as having a "brown" dial - definitely not true. It's somewhere between red and burgundy. This one is a straight-up black. Both are much more attractive in person than they look - they have almost a lacquered sheen to them.

EDIT: I've added the following in response to S. Polito's review below - I think it's probably stuff I would want to know before I bought the watch:

Although I'm not at all surprised by S. Polito's problems with Invicta's infamous service department, he misunderstands the purpose of the 6 o'clock dial (or, more accurately, lack thereof). Though it looks like it should tally the total number of hours being timed by the chronograph, it's actually an entirely superfluous dial, since it always indicates the current hour - i.e., it does the exact same thing the hour hand of the main watch face does. If you look at any picture of the watch, you'll see that it always matches the hour hand. Thus, while S. Polito is certainly right that the documentation is not at all clear about this, it's fairly easy to see how it works on the face of the watch and he definitely shouldn't have risked the infamous Invicta "service" department to try to get it "fixed."

For what it's worth, the movement is the "ST1902" by Seagull, an up-and-coming Chinese manufacturer of increasingly high-end movements (including, most recently, tourbillons). It seems to be a pretty solid movement based on the discussion I've found through googling it (also how I found out this info about the 6 o'clock dial). The ST1902 is basically a copy of an older, well-respected mechanical chronograph movement called the "Venus." It has several variants, and this is one with the superfluous dial. I don't mind it that much, since it's the same color as the watch face and thus doesn't stand out like the dials at 3 and 9, which are done up in silver. Some people who know how to mess with the watch have a way of "killing" the dial - i.e., making it not move at all. I'm not sure how that's any better, and I certainly am not gonna screw with the watch, but I guess it's an option if it really bothers you.

As should be obvious, I don't think it's a problem and I certainly still endorse getting the watch, which is great.

Unusual and large3
First, it's unusual to find a mechanical chronograph in this price range. I would have likely kept it, except that it is so large (45mm). And pretty hefty, too.

Fit and finish seemed good for this price point, though timekeeping was not exceptionally accurate. I had it for a week, and it varied 10+ seconds/day. The subdial for hours (at the 6 o'clock position) is a bit of a joke (why not just delete it and have a date window?).

Overall, I'd say it's a decent watch if you're aware of the size and other quirks. Reading reports of bad warranty service would give me pause on buying another Invicta.

Invicta Watch #51025
I bought this to replace my husband's Tag Heuer which he used for sports--swimming, golf, tennis--lured by the amazingly large markdown. We were surprised at how good looking it is. It is also very large which you should know if that bothers you. When my husband took it in to the jewelry repair shop to get the bracelet links resized the jeweler was very impressed with the timepiece. To date, my husband's reported no problems with the watch at all.I was particularly concerned about it being waterproof for regular swimming, and it has performed perfectly.
