Invicta Specialty 23533 Men's Mechanical Watch - 42 mm

I've recently bought five watches on Amazon in the $30-$50 range from multiple makers, and this is by far the most premium-feeling and looking one. The watch has a nice heft, so it's not made of cheap metals. The face is simple and elegant, and I'm a huge fan of skeleton faces. The strap is a classy-looking alligator-pattern leather that adds to the overall effect.

Not sure why all the hate for these watches. This is one of the most affordable watches I own. I think it was about 45 bucks. It looks great! (Disclaimer I’m partial to the skeleton watches) It’s only hand wind and the glass is not great. It doesn’t keep the most accurate time but I love it. Maybe because everyone else doesn’t. It looks good. I change watches daily so resetting time doesn’t bother me. I love the skeleton view. Overall completely satisfied with this purchase.

This watch is one of my favorites! Feels great on my wrist, and I love the motions that are visible! I don’t mind the dial wind feature as I have had two “automatic” watches that didn’t last more than a year or so before they quit working. I wind it every time I put it on in the morning, but it lasts a good 48 hours if I forget. Haven’t worn it on the weekend, but when I wind it Friday morning before work, it’s still going on Sunday morning. My only complaint is that it seems to be a bit fast. It’s only 1-2 minutes fast every 24 hours, so I just sync it back up every morning when I wind it. Not a big deal. Tons of compliments and great watch!!

Great looking and well designed. Comfortable and you don’t have worry about replacing the battery. Old school wind up. Worth the price

I've been introducing my husband to the Invicta family over the last year. I purchased this as a just because gift and I loved it (he hasn't seen it yet). I thought the battery was dead until I set the time and then the "mechanics" starting moving. Overall, I know my husband is going to love this watch especially because the band is black and can be worn with as both casual and business. Great buy and amazing look for the price.

It is a failure! Two down and none to go. First one failed to function and was returned. The second one was the same. I love this brand of watches but will not buy from Amazon again. Maybe they only supply the rejects. The issue is a self winding watch should self wind and work. Try though you may this model does not do either. If you should decide to get it be sure to buy the extra warranty as it will be needed. Especially if you buy it as a gift. Buyer be ware. FYI I have over a dozen Invicta watches and love them so my wife bought me this one as a gift. You have been warned.

Such a cool watch. I love seeing the guts of this fully mechanical watch as it ticks away. Checked accuracy after a few days running and it’s a solid +5 sec a day which isn’t bad at all for a mechanical watch. Nearest I can tell, a full wind powers the watch for the standard two days or slightly less (in my research 40 hours seems to be typical for a mechanical). When you wind it, you can see the main spring wind up tightly upon itself and then over the next two days it gradually uncoils. I do miss having the date function on my watch but that’s obviously not a feature on this watch. The only real negative is that the black hands aren’t very visible in low light. All in all, for the price I paid ($43 open box), I consider this a terrific purchase.

I saw some reviews saying the watch is not working, but the people don't read before buy... this watch doesn't have Battery!!! It is important to take the mechanical hand-wound watch off your wrist if you want to wind it. By winding it while you are wearing it, you put undue stress on the crown (sometimes referred to as stem) from an odd position. By taking it in your hand to wind it, you minimize the stress on the winding system. It is also a good idea to wind your hand-wound watch every morning before putting it on to ensure its power doesn’t run out.
