Stuhrling Original 395 33U16 Aquadiver Professional

I bought this Stuhrling Men Watches a month ago and when it arrived I was quite impressed. It has good weight to it, meaning the metal quality is good. I've had other watches that were very light and broke within weeks. It's also constructed well. There is very little movement in the band that is not intended. The links move as they are supposed to. I am a Dish Machine Operator (dishwasher) right now, so I bought this watch for its water resistance. For one month it has been sprayed with hot water off and on for 8 hours a day, five days a week. There is no condensation whatsoever on the interior of the glass. I also like the fact that it comes with a year warranty. It looks very nice, and the dial around the face of the watch is good for timing things in the oven! hehe! The only thing that I don't like is the little magnifying glass over the date. It makes the face of the watch only slightly more difficult to clean than other watches. A very minor inconvenience.

I currently own the 8926 Automatic and was so impressed with it's appearance that I purchased six of these for the groomsmen in my wedding. I went with the quartz version because the guys like the look, but would probably not like having to set the watch after not wearing it for a couple days. Also, the price is a great deal. The only major difference between the 8932 and 8926, other than one being an automatic, is the size. I did notice quite a difference in size when they're next to each other, but alone, the size is fine.

Overall an excellent product. The only issue is the date and time settings. The instructions created confusion by indicating to set the date you need to pull out the crown to the first position and the clock will stop. I tried pulling out the crown and it would not budge. After some choice words to the watch - I tried to unscrew the crown and it popped out. Tried to find a crown position where the clock stops. Only stops at the second position to set the time. After more choice words directed to the watch - pushed the crown in to the 1st position and turned the crown counter clock wise and the date changes. This process took about 15 - 25 frustrating minutes. I found out about the unscrewing of the crown buried in the section that covers all Invicta products. Bottom line - if the instructions were more specific and correct - the process would have taken 2 minutes and I bet this watch's rating would jump a full star. Hopefully this info eases other purchasers pain in the future.

Invicta Diver Collection Coin Edge Automatic

Purchasing the Invicta Diver Collection Coin Edge Automatic for a family member Christmas present - I've come away very much impressed. The 8932 apparently shares the case, crystal mineral glass watchface, screwdown crown and elegent lightweight stainless steel bracelet with it's more expensive automatic movement 8926 sibling. Matter of factly - it is hard to tell the difference between this watch and Invicta's $300+ 9937 Swiss ETA powered automatic diver without close inspection.

It is my humble opinion that Invicta is the leader of the affordable price dive watch market - including such giants as Seiko and Citizen - OK maybe even Casio. Invicta does not have the brand name awareness of the public and large commercial outlets to display their wonderful dive watches. Once you've purchased an Invicta Pro-Diver series watch - you will be a fan. The fit, finish, overall quality and design make this watch a model you should consider as a price range leader.

Case: The 316L brushed stainless steel case at 40mm (43mm with crown) once considered a large watch - is now an "average" size for dive watches. The stainless steel watchback might be annoying for those with nickel metal skin allergies - the mineral glass display or "exhibition" watch backs of the 8926 and 9937 being preferred by many divers. Mineral glass is not as scratch resistant as sapphire crystal as found in the 9937 - which can only be imprinted by diamond - but is "good enough" for average wear and certainly keeps the watch very affordable. A date "cyclops" or window is found at the 3 o'clock position. The watch is rated and tested to 200m (660 ft) - that which qualifies it as a "Professional Diver".

Bezel: The black bezel is a very scratch resistant, uni-directional (120 clicks to the hour) scalloped edge (like the Omega Seamaster) diving tool. A "coin edge" (like the Rolex Submariner) bezel is preferred by many divers - being less slippery to manipulate when wet.

Bracelet: Invicta's ss bracelet - with polished center links - is an industry standard - best compared to a Rolex Oyster bracelet for the Submariner series. It utilizes a foldover deployment clasp without a wetsuit deployment clasp as found on more expensive dive watch bracelets. Held together by pins - it is important to throughly rinse the bracelet after immersion in salt water.

Movement: The 8932 uses a quartz "asian" sourced movement. These will normally keep time +/- 15 second per week and are actually much more accurate than the more expensive Invicta 8926 Citizen/Miyota 8215 - 21 jewel automatic movements that can be a minute or more off each week. The 9937 uses a Swiss ETA 2824-2 25 jewel automatic movement reflected in it's $300+ price tag...Watch battery life varies as per movement source and battery quality. Most batteries should last 3-5 years according to Invicta users I know.

Conclusion: I am a big fan of Invicta dive watches. For the money, Invicta Pro-Diver series watches are an industry leader. Sourced among many different asian assemblers - the fit, finish and quality may vary somewhat from batch to batch - but the overall reputation among watch collectors of the Invicta Pro-Diver series is very high!

Why not 5 stars? My personal preferences are automatic movement watches - not quartz. The stainless steel back can irritate the skin of allergic individuals. Mineral glass crystal - used to hold the price - is prone to scuffing and minor scratching. Sapphire is too expensive for this category of watch. As a diver - I prefer a "sawtooth" or "coin" edged bezel to the scalloped bezel currently offered by Invicta. The bracelet offers no wetsuit deployment clasp - a feature absent in all Invicta divers thru the 9937 series. Some or none of these should prevent you from considering this watch or it's 8926 fraternal twin as your next dive watch.

Amazon and it's sellers do a good job to deliver the Invicta goods. All models come with a one year warranty - Invicta offering a 5 year warranty extension for a modest fee. I am the owner of 7 Invicta dive and chronometer watches. You can learn more about Invicta and other affordable watches sold by Amazon at InvictaTalk.com.

Mulco Unisex MW5 93503 093 Bluemarine Movement

I've had this Mulco Women Watches for about 3 or so years. For reference, I'm a college student, which means I've been fairly rough on this watch. It stays on my wrist when I'm moving in and moving out. I've also been wearing this watch pretty much every day without fail.

After about 3 years of wear, it has some scratches and small chips in the watch face (rather annoying). I have no problem reading the time, but the scratches are most definitely there. The metal band has gotten really worn in a "I'm not really studying your watch, but can tell your watch has seen some better days" type of way. Point of this part of the review, is that the watch will see wear if you wear it. I haven't done anything to make it shinier or anything like taking it in to a jeweler's, but it's nothing that a simple visit wouldn't fix. Final note, this watch has seen its share of water (tap, pool, ocean), but no water damage whatsoever.

That being said, despite its fairly minor aesthetic flaws, it's been a reliable watch. Hasn't failed me on the time. Don't have to worry about batteries. Never an issue of "making sure my watch gets enough light." It will get light. Unless you live in a bat cave, eternally. I would go with an Eco Drive again. It's extremely effortless, which is why this watch gets 4 stars.

True, it's a little annoying that the calendar day is off on the non 31 day months, and the day sometimes gets off (switches over at noon instead of midnight) if you switch time zones and need to adjust the time. But all in all, these are really really minor details, and just come with having a watch that spells out the day of the week and the day of the month for you. (It's really nice having the day of the week and the day of the month on your wrist if you are as forgetful as I am.)

The image here shows a darker blue-gray face - in reality it's simply gray, but that doesn't detract from it in any aesthetic way. That's actually why I picked this one, for the unique gray face. And if you are wondering about how you would ever replace the uniquely shaped band if it becomes worn looking from much use (like my last Fossil watch) - Citizen watches come with a five year limited warranty and all the Citizen Worldwide Service Centers are listed in the accompanying instruction booklet - emailing them or sending it in for a replacement band would probably be the only way to get the exact same Citizen band if it's possible.
 

XOXO Womens XO5472 Analog Bracelet

My girlfriend wanted an elegant but practical watch that could be worn in formal as well as casual settings. This watch looks great and met that criteria perfectly. She also wanted a no-hassle watch she could rely on. This watch is a high quality Citizen Eco-Drive so it should be dependable and low maintenance.

The band does scratch pretty easily, which is too bad, but I suppose it's something to be expected of just about any watch with a metal band.

The day of the week takes a long time to completely roll over. The date is pretty quick, starts switching around 11:50 p.m. and finishes around 12:30 a.m. But the day of the week doesn't completely finish switching to the new day until about 4:00 a.m.!

Also, plan on having to adjust the date at the end of months that have more or less than 31 days in them. A pre-programmed perpetual calendar would be ideal but would surely cost more and would likely require the watch to be larger. And since I like its size as is and prefer to not pay much more for a watch, I won't complain about that.

My girlfriend really likes this watch and is very happy with it. It's a great every-day wearer that looks sharp worn with about anything (except a lot of gold, of course).

I actually looked at the receipt and I bought XOXO Womens XO5472 Analog Bracelet in May of 2004. I've worn this watch around the clock since then and I'm not careful with it at all. The band has a lot of scratches but they are not really visible at a casual glance, and the glass has some minor scratches. I only had the battery go low once during a particularly cold winter (lots of long sleeves) but half an hour under a lamp quickly took care of that.

The watch has been in a lot of water, including the ocean and it's still water proof and it is accurate as far as I can tell (accurate enough for my purposes, anyway). For my previous watch (Seiko) I had to shell out $25 every time my battery died (every year) as the cheaper battery places couldn't open it. So with this watch, I've saved a lot of money on batteries already and I expect I'll be able to keep it for many more years to come. If it ever dies, I'll definitely get another Eco Drive watch. 

Juicy Couture 1901039 Swarovski Bracelet

I like tortoise shell, Roman numeral dials and mother-of-pearl, so this caught my eye in a local store. It was cheaper on Amazon though, and since I have A-Prime, it seemed a good buy. I don't tend to buy gold-tone jewelry, but this is a striking-looking piece overall.I removed the extra latch link and it fits perfectly. I definitely like the slightly larger crown a lot. I have arthritis and many of my watches can be hard to set. This one is no trouble. So far it seems to keep excellent time.

It does seem to feel rather light weight and has a bit of cheaper, jewelry "feel" than previous watches of this price that I've purchased. The plastic and metal parts are not heavy-weight. That's not a deal breaker for me by any means - with the style of larger watch dials this year, it can be hard to put on the heavy ones - as I found at the store. Since it is lighter, it feels less obtrusive on my wrist.

This Juicy Couture Women Watches looks attractive and I've gotten several complements in just the few days I've worn it. I'm guessing it will probably will require a bit of extra care to avoid scratching and damage, though.At this point, I would recommend it if you like the looks and the price!

I'm not a person who would normally go gaga over a watch, but this watch is absolutely beautiful. I was really surprised when I opened the case. The photo is nice and I felt comfortable ordering the watch, but this is lovely. I have a very small wrist and this watch has a section that just unclasps to remove it. It fits perfectly. The face is not too large for my wrist and the way the bracelet fits it does not slip to the underside of my wrist. This is an incredible watch for the price. Granted there are no bells and whistles on this watch, but then I don't need them. I was looking for a watch that was easy to read, set, and that looked good. This watch provides all of those things. It arrived beautifully boxed for gift giving and within two days of ordering it. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Anne Klein 109442CHHY Gold Tone Champagne

I love shopping with Amazon! Everything was perfect: fast shipping time, super safe packaging, great communication.Of course I expected this watch to be quite good, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. However the result has overcome my best expectations! In real life the clock face isn't so big. On photo it seemed a bit enormous for me. In reality it looks absolutely gorgeous. The combination of colors is very classic and elegant, and the quality is superb.The only problem with me that it doesn't exactly fit my wrist. If I put it through the first hole, it is too tight. And if I put it through the next one, it is hanging a bit. Maybe I have an irregular wrist size, LOL :)In general I am very satisfied with the purchase. Highly recommended.

I bought this watch because I like leather band watches and I liked the Anne Klein design. After it arrived, I did not attempt to wear it bec I had to have a hole punched in the band for a better fit. Afterwards, I set the time on the watch only to realised the second hand was not moving. I took it to a jeweller to change the battery, only to be told it needs more than a battery, the mechanism in the watch is not working and would need to be fixed, which for me is not worth it. Buying this watch was like throwing away money. I give it 1 star for the design of the watch.

I buy Anne Klein 109442CHHY Gold Tone Champagne much everything from amazon but I learn to get sunglasses and watches from a retail store because I have small face and small wrists, 5.5 inches around, and i am forced to try them on before buying, so this little guy called my attention at Macy's, tried on, still a tiny bit big for me, 1 inch, but worked. So why do I want to write a review ?. Well I placed my clothes in the washer machine for almost 2 hours and at the end of it, pulling all the clothes out of the machine, there it was! My 1 month old Ann Klein watch, saying " I am done ", well at least is that what I thought, its done.. I know it is water resistance but was worried for the amount of detergent, chlorine and how hot the water was, anyway IT STILL WORKS GREAT!. So I am happy with it. Hope this help to anyone. Good luck!

Fossil Womens ES1967 Stella Display

Beautiful watch! I have worn it everyday since I received it. It is very lightweight, comfortable and very stylish. Have received compliments on it already. Was a little bigger then I thought it would be, however still looks great. Love it!!

I was really disappointed with this watch. It's a beautiful watch, but the white plastic cracked at the base after wearing it only three times. The seller (MrWatch) would not accept a return of the watch, and this part of the watch is not under warranty, so I had to send it to the Service Center for repair at my expense. I would not recommend purchase of this watch. I bought this to match my all white nursing uniforms for school...I wear it all the time though. I have had sooo many compliments on it since I bought it. The watch is very sturdy too, I've worn it everyday for the past year now and it still looks like it did the day I bought it.

I do not advise anyone who is in the market for a while fossil watch to purchase one from Wristwatch.com off of amazon. Yes, the price of the watch sold by wristwatch is less expensive than most retail stores however, low price doesn't necessarily equal good quality. I purchased the Fossil Women's ES1967 watch a month ago and by week three, two of the crystals surrounding the face fell out. The only way to return this watch to wristwatch is if the item has never been worn and is returned in original packaging. How am I as a customer supposed to assume that by week three, the crystals in my watch are going to fall out? Plus, they charge you a $10.00 re stocking fee if you decide to return the watch for any reason. My advise, spend the extra bucks and shop at a reliable retail store!

I gave this Fossil Womens ES1967 Stella Display five stars because very time I wear this people give me so many compliments. I think people like it because of the bling action and they are very surprised when I tell them its a Fossil watch. I work in a salon and it must pop out with my dark colors that I wear. I must say I like it because it is not heavy and very comfortable to wear all day long, I also have a Michelle Deco with the diamonds and I switch it around when I need a change, but overall Fossil Stella is on my top list. I believe you get your moneys worth. I like this style so much that I just purchased the black Stella style ES 2341. I can't wait to get it!

Bulova Womens 96T14 Crystal Watch

I've been pricing out this Bulova Women Watches from in store to online and as soon as I seen it I loved it. The watch has the same quality that you get at the big jewelry dealers or big name stores. I looked for 3 months and found the best price I found anywhere else was almost double what I paid for this watch I am very excited this is going to be a great christmas.

I have had it for a month now. I received a lot of compliments on it. It really looks very feminine. It is pretty different from the style of watch I used to wear. I used to have a practical ''mommy watch'', water resistant with a timer for time outs, and alarm for pick up times with a sporty look on top of it. I have given baths to the kids with my new Bulova and I have showered with it. A friend of mine who is a jeweler suggested I should be more careful with water once the battery has been changed once. It may not be then as water resistant once opened. I would definitely recommend it.

I ordered this watch as a gift for my mother-in-law. I normally like to see items in person before I buy them, but I wasn't able to for this purchase. I ordered anyway and hoped for the best. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The watch is very pretty and dainty. The crystals are not too flashy, which was one of my concerns. It is on the smaller side, but I wasn't going for the menswear look. I wanted a dressy, feminine watch, which is exactly what I got. My mother-in-law absolutely loved it.

Had searched since July for the perfect everyday, yet classy watch and had just about given up. I had gotten spoiled wearning a Longine watch for 20+ years, but just couldn't spend the money right now. Had seen this in a store shopping for something else and fell in love with it. It's easy to resize for a smaller wrist and perfect for every day use with a more dressy look/feel. Couple that with the lower price on Amazon....absolutely one of the best online purchases I've made. I actually like this watch better than the more expensive ones I was looking at. Great buy.
