I'm stunned by all 5-star reviews. I think it's a 2 or 3-star watch at best. But I'm a bit ticked off that Amazon charged me for return shipping (after delivering it to a wrong address). So... 2-stars it is.
Now, more on the watch itself...
First of all, THE SIZE. The watch it's simply too big. I'm a big guy myself, but this thing looks ridiculous on my hand. Sure, people would notice it, but then again: if you hang a cuckoo clock on your chest, it would be hard to miss, too.
Secondly, the shape. If you look straight down on it, the case is almost as wide as it is high. If you look from the side, it stands pretty high off your wrist, too. The squareness is quite prominent in the shape of the case.
Thirdly, the rectangular dial may look unusual, but the minute marks are now distributed unevenly along the perimeter. Because of that, it's rather difficult to tell minutes, especially when the minute hand is near each of the four corners.
And, finally, I think the designers spent majority of their time on its front, and placed very little effort on its sides. So, the watch is rather plain-looking from either side. And, for a timepiece of this size, it's quite noticeable.
Comparing it side-by-side with my Invicta 4736 (an earlier model similar to Invicta Men's Specialty Mechanical Watch #4735), this watch feels like a few steps down.
