I like this watch a lot. There's only two things that I feel are worth mentioning: 1, You have to wear it in order for it to keep the correct date/time. Since I own several watches, I enjoy switching them around depending on my dress & mood. 2. The two rubber strap retainers require proper placement everytime you put on the watch and rubber against rubber doesn't work the best! But, I understand the need for rubber, plus it stays in place!
However, despite those two things, I would buy another Invicta but with an orange dial. I especially liked the price!!
Thanks Amazon,
Thanks,

I bought this watch for my own 'Christmas' present but really because my 7 year old Citizen eco drive quit running. I enjoy the thought of not needing a battery and this automatic watch is quite nice for this price. It is not 'huge' as some folks have said. It's slightly larger than my Citizen, albeit heavier but my Citizen was titanium. I have received nice compliments from all my family during this week. All the guys are envious. The see through back is quite cool and the time is accurate. I have not lost any time in nearly a week. No fogging in the shower and it doesn't make a sound...no ticking. The second hand actually doesn't stop it keeps moving which I believe is the trait of an automatic. The rubber band is thick and well constructed. I don't see it breaking anytime soon. I bought this as my 'play' watch that I can beat up and not be heart broken if it gets smashed. However, it is solidly constructed and I feel very satisfied with the deal I got. I will be buying more Invictas in the future and will definitely get them here. Thanks Amazon!

Looking at the picture you would think this Invicta 6069 isn't so big. Well, I was surprised at the size and weight. Rubber wrist band is quite cumbersome to put on that I'm looking to replace with regular leather band, if there's any out there. It dies rather quickly for about two days of unused as previous reviewer indicated but if you use it daily it shouldn't be a problem. I would probably use it occasionally and recommend it for teenagers or big men who like big and heavy watch which will definitely get noticed.

ordered this watch on a Thursday paid 2 day shipping and got it on Monday.. Paid $69.00 for it plus $7.00 for the 2day shipping.. For some reason since then its now selling for $89.00.. Guess they were moving some units at the $69.00 mark so decided to up the price..
So far I can only comment on the looks, the feel, and over all sense of quality. The watch has a nice weight to it, strap is a nice heavy duty rubber with good give when its strapped on. I'm not that in to watches so I didn't know anything about what the previous reviewer was talking about "screw down crown" but I did once I got the watch because the instructions state that most of their Diver models do have one.. This particular model does not.. Not sure why that is since it seems that is a feature a good diving watch is supposed to have. I have never had a very large diameter watch so was unsure about what would be to big.. I have a 7.5" wrist and it fits me very well not to over bearing. I was considering a Wakesetter which was 47" but I feel now that would have been to big. Setting the time and date is very easy by pulling out the crown.. The watch looks great, very sporty I wouldn't wear it with a business suit or to a wedding/ I got this watch to wear is casual, it looks cool and will go great with shorts and tennis shoes. I'll update the review after a year (if the watch is still being sold

I own the model 6067, which is identical to this watch, but has a different color face. Here is the good, the questionable and the bad--
THE GOOD-
+ The Invicta 6069 is a big, nice looking watch powered by a Seiko-designed NH25A automatic movement, (but the movement is not made by Seiko, it's a clone made by a Chinese company called TMI.) It has a nice reflective, brushed-metallic yellow face that is very noticeable. The face absolutely radiates in full sun. The case is 43mm (1.69", excluding the crown)
+ There are 2 "Flame Fusion" sapphire-coated mineral crystals on the front and back of the watch. You can see the movement through the rear crystal. Solid sapphire is susceptible to shattering with hard impacts, and mineral crystal can withstand impacts, but it scratches easily. The "Flame Fusion" sapphire coated mineral crystal claims to have both strength and scratch resistance. If flame fusion is hype, I suspect the the protruding "cyclops" date magnifier will be the first to be scratched. Incidentally, the scratch resistance of sapphire is NOT hype. I've tested the rear sapphire crystal on another Invicta I own by touching it with a 30,000 RPM carbide cutting tool. It didn't scratch-- Amazing! If you are rough on watches, a sapphire crystal is the way to go.
+ The power reserve is 41 hours, according to the TMI technical data sheet I found online. This is congruent with my experience; it's still running if I skip wearing it a day.
+ If I don't wear it for 2 days, it stops, but adjusting both the date and time is really fast. Pull the crown to the first position and the numbers quickly click to the correct date. (You can go through all 31 days in under 10 seconds). The 2nd crown position adjusts the time.
+ This model took some getting used to. I almost returned it when I discovered that it can't be hand-wound like my other automatics. The claim is that when it stops running it will start again as soon as you pick it up. And, well... it WON'T!!! Yes, it WILL start ticking, but it looses lots of time until it is sufficiently wound. You MUST shake it for about 15 seconds before wearing, and you'll look like you're having a seizure, but it is enough to keep it going until normal wrist movement fully winds it.
Invicta's other automatic movement is a Citizen-made Miyota uni-directional winding movement that CAN be hand-wound if needed. This TMI made NH25A movement cannot be hand-wound, but winds bi-directionally meaning that the oscillating weight wheel will wind the watch with any slight movement of your arm. I own both movements and I prefer the Miyota, because the oscillating wheel spins more freely, and hand winding is faster than shaking like an epileptic. This NH25A is hard to get spinning, which makes a difference when you have to shake it to get it wound sufficiently.
THE QUESTIONABLE-
? This model is rated to 200 meters water resistance, but it doesn't have a screw-down crown. Hmmmmm.
? The movement manufacturer, TMI is the company affiliated with several "high-priced" shady internet brands you've never heard of like Louis Bolle, Wohler, Balmer, Eberle, Stuhrling, etc. These Chinese watches have MSRPs of thousands of dollars, but always sell at 90% discounts online. I just hope this clone movement is as high quality as the Seiko manufactured 'real" one.
? The online TMI technical spec sheet states the NH25A accuracy is between -25 and +35 seconds a DAY @ normal temperatures, (not too impressive) and runs for 41 hours on a full wind.
THE BAD-
- Invicta's generic instruction manual is a joke. Only 2 of the 49 pages deal with this particular model, and those 2 pages say very, VERY little. Disappointing for a good watch.
- Also, it's not hard to find people who are unhappy with Invicta's customer service on the internet. Customer service is obviously not a priority on their flashy website either. It's full of sights and sounds, but offers little more than slick marketing. Don't even try to find technical data for your model, let alone a phone number to customer service -- it doesn't exist. All they offer is snail mail-- no chat, no email, nothing. (They play nice music on the site to reduce your anger over not finding what you want, though!)
IN SUMMARY,
This watch is worth buying if you find it for under 80-90 bucks. With it's sapphire coated crystal, the rubber strap, and surgical grade 316L stainless steel, it should be able to take a beating without showing wear.
My other Invicta Pro Diver watch has a ridiculously large, tacky engraving of the company name on the left side of the case. (about a 13 font size in bold) I hate it. Thankfully, they've gotten over their pretentiousness and didn't put that butt-ugly engraving on this model. It has a bold, clean look.
If this is your first automatic watch, don't expect quartz-like accuracy. Automatics are complicated time pieces with more than a hundred moving parts vs. a few electronic parts in their quartz cousins. Not even the most expensive automatic is as accurate as the average quartz. (My new 6067 gains 25 seconds a day, but automatics tend to get more accurate as they break-in.) So, if you appreciate the craftsmanship and the "cool factor" of an automatic watch, then it's worth correcting the time occasionally. Also be aware that automatics need to be cleaned and lubricated every few years by an expert. Invicta charges thirty bucks to clean & lubricate automatics, and the service takes more than a month.
I hope this is helpful.
