Invicta Men's 5748 Force Flight Multifunction Stainless Steel Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this watch for about 6 months now and am pretty happy with it.The quality of the material & workmanship is quite good.I was surprised by the level of detail on the face - when you see it close up its very impressive.
The band is comfortable (it has solid links that do not catch on hair or skin) and the clasp has been durable.In my opinion, the stem is fairly easy to unscrew and use but it was a bit complicated to understand how to adjust the 24hr hand vs the hour/minute hands and date.The pilot slide rule actually works (the dial moves easily) but the figures are too small for the average person to read. The quartz timekeeping accuracy appears to be very good.

The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the size of the watch. Although the description says 43mm I believe that's just the main case.With the stem, the width is more like 48mm.In addition the watch is heavy and thick. I think it seems thicker than 13mm because a good portion of the case is above the band to accommodate the slide rule mechanism. As a person of medium build I feel it is a bit too large for me, but most everyone I ask thinks it looks fine.In any case, you will definitely notice its there at first.

As for durability, the crystal is superb - very clear yet very tough.Not a scratch on it yet.The band is another story.I am seeing minor scratches/abrasions on the clasp and band due to nothing more than contact with my desk.This is not up to par with the rest of the watch.The band must use a softer metal than normal because it is really not a durable as it should be.It's really the weakest "link" of the whole product.

In summary - I think its a great watch for the price and it generates quite a few compliments.The reasons I reduced my rating were the weight, thickness and scratch-prone band. The band almost makes me want to drop down to three stars but it is replaceable and you could easily swap it out for leather, rubber, or other more durable metal band.
