Customer Reviews
Nice watch, but it has an entirely inadequate product manual
This is my second Invicta watch, and I think this one looks and
feels very impressive. The bracelet has a very nice heft to it, and the
watch face is a beautiful dark blue color which is offset by the smooth
stainless bezel. I think it looks and feels as if it should cost 2 to 3
times as much as I paid for it.
Now for the wretched manual. Invicta, in an apparent cost-cutting
move, has decided to have a one-size-fits-all product manual. So
everything from simple time-only watches, to time and date, to time and
day and date, to chronograph, to moon-phase etc. watches all get the
same manual. I suppose this might be forgiveable if the instructions
were well-outlined,detailed, and comprehensive. Regrettably, this is
not the case.
So how hard can it be to use a watch, you ask? Well, here's the
thing... The 2876 has the main dial, and three tiny dials on the lower
part of the face. The time of day is obviously set by pulling on the
crown and turning the hands - like normal. The top button on the right
side depresses to advance the day of the month by one and the bottom
button advances the 24 hour hand in the center position (there is no
additional functionality beyond simple setting for either the top or
bottom buttons). So how do you set the third dial on the left? The
manual shows some watches in which the crown pulls out two "stops" -
but that isn't the case with this one. The manual shows that the third
tiny watch dial is often controlled by a third button on the left side
of the watch. No such button on this watch.
I went to the Invicta watch site to try to find a specific manual
for this watch. No such manual exists (nor do any manuals appear on the
site from what I could tell). No e-mail address for customer support,
either (though there is an 800 number).
By sheer chance, I advanced the watch using the center crown by
twenty-four hours, and it clicked to the next day of the week on the
third crown. Nowhere in the manual was this mentioned at all. I suppose
it might be common sense, but I would think that the 24 hour dial might
be a better candidate to coordiniate with the main clock hands than the
day of the week (freeing up the bottom button to advance day of the
week instead).
Now that I've figured out how to set it, I'm quite happy with the
watch. If they had included adequate instructions, I would gladly have
given it 5 of 5 for a watch in its price range.
Great Watch....But It Loses Time
Maybe its the battery, but it tends to lose time easily. I bought
it during one of Amazon's Friday sales, so it might have been sitting
on the shelf a long time. It looks great, I get compliments on it all
the time. I'd give it a 5 for looks, but so far, 3 on performance.
Nice but very thick
Note: Many of today's better watches are thick, but here are my thoughts on this watch.
The watch is beautiful, but looking at the side of it, the watch is
VERY thick. I have a self-winding Seko dive watch, and of all my
watchs, the self-winding watch is the only one thicker than this watch
-- but not much thicker. In my opinion, it is stange that this watch is
as thick as a self-winding dive watch. I have always considered the
Seko dive watch to be too thick for normal day-to-day wearing, so I
guess this watch could be considered too thick for normal use except by
those with extra-large wrists. The picture does not show this of
course; it really needs a side angle.
Believe me ... it is probably thicker than you expect or want. Look
at the specs. The band is a nice 20mm wide, but the case thickness is
11mm. The thickness of the case is over half of the width of the band !!
