Not Bad
It wouldn't be an Invicta without something wrong with it....not too bad though. It is definitely gun-metal not Black-IP as the Amazon description states and the brushed areas are a little blotchy. There is also about 1/16 of an inch of play in the bezel when pushed in the opposite direction than the way it is intended to turn again not too bad--good price $265. The bezel is pretty tight so as long I don't rotate the bezel too much and loosen it up it shouldn't be a problem and the blotchy finish is barely noticable.
I had an Invicta arrive missing a case back screw one with blothy plateing another that had an hour marker fall off the dial and one that had the second hand fall off. This SAN III is a whole lot better than the Akula I got that was not keeping time at all when it arrived--defective movement I had to have the movement completely disassembled cleaned and put back together to get the watch working.
Not bad Invicta...you only screwed it up a little and that's pretty good for you. If they didn't have such good looking designs I would never buy one of their never-know-what-your-gonna-get-watches ever again!!! I'm like a battered spouse that keeps coming back for more!

Great Watch
I've had this watch for about 3 days now and I am liking it more each day.
When I first received the watch I was a bit worried about the ability to easily read the reverse LCD display though after a while and testing it out in bright sunlight it is very easy to read. The features on this watch are fantastic. The manual is quite large but there is great information in there and it makes you appreciate the watch even more. Synching the watch works great it hasn't failed yet when it auto-synchs during the night. I am very happy with this watch and have no regrets with this purchase.
Pros: 1. Tons of useful features. Compass moon phase altitude Baro Pres and tide are very nice to have.
2. Looks great with the reverse LCD screen.
3. Very comfortable and not too big like one would think.
4. All around great watch.
Cons: 1. Temperature is only accurate after taking the watch off your wrist and letting it aclimate for 15- 20 minutes (per instruction manual).
2. Bezel turns much to easily. When worn under a sweatshirt or jacket it turns from the simple pressure
of your clothes.
These cons though are minor in my opinion and I am happy with the purchase. Enjoy the watch if you choose to buy it.
