Great watch with a few problems.

Bought this one after trying on the Citizen Skyhawk.  Its much cheaper, and has features that I would use more:  Larger digital displays and a backlight.

On a functional level, the only complaint is that the digital and analog displays drift in sync.

Also, don't know if its just my watch, but the metal band squeaks pretty often and is getting annoying.

Over all, this is a keeper.

This is a very nice looking watch. The leather band is fantastic, it's very thick compared to any other non-metal watch I've worn. The face is very clean and well laid out, I love that the date window is almost hidden yet easily identifiable with a quick glance. My favorite part about this watch is the Indiglo, it is very bright at night and works flawlessly.

I only have 2 complaints with this watch, first off, the seconds hand doesn't match up with the "tick" marks, actually not even close, it hits in between "ticks" most of the time. My second complaint is that within the first week of wearing it to work I got a huge scratch across half of the face. I don't remember hitting the watch or brushing up against anything. I know it's my fault that it got scratched but I feel like the glass should've been more durable and lasted a bit longer.

Hi - I know other people have either loved this watch or had issues with it.  I have owned the 405CX for about a year now and whilst no super athlete, I do use it for short runs about 3 - 4 times a week.  I think I seem to have had less issues than some of the reviewers that have had problems with this watch and can only comment on my experiences.  The watch takes some setting up as it has tons of features - but for someone that likes lots of stats - its great.  You can display multiple sets of info - ie: heart rate,HR%, distance, time, etc and you can have multiple screens with data.  The watch can either slowly rotate through those screens or you can touch the bazel to move to these screens.

Previous reviewers have commented on sweat and non responsive bazels.  Yes - I agree - as I am someone that sweats a lot - moving the bazel between screens can be hard (non responsive) with sweaty fingers.  I have found I simply wipe my fingers on my sweat shirt first then tap or slide my finger on the bazel to change screens.  No real big deal.  The other thing I have found is that I tend to use only a few key stats - HR, pace, distance, time and I usually just stay on the screen that has that info, as opposed to screen changing or leaving auto change on.

People have commented on water effecting this watch.  I tend to try not run in the rain too much - but when I have - I haven't had any issues with water effecting the watch - assuming I am not trying to change screens though because of the sweat issue and the non responsive bazel when trying to move it with wet fingers.

The satellite can sometimes take anything from 20 seconds to 1 minute to lock on - but I have found that once locked on - its held and I have not had any issues with the signal dropping off, even when running under trees.  I usually put the satellite search on as I'm getting ready - so its normally not an issue as its locked on by the time I'm ready to start my run.

The only annoying thing about this watch - but also not a deal breaker - is that it only holds its charge for about a few days when its not in use.  The newer models can be switched off.  However, I simply check it the night before or every few days and put it on the charger if need be.

The ability to upload this to Garmin Connect and review your stats and track where you have been on a map is also a great feature.

As far as loosing complete charge goes - I have had this happen on maybe only less than a handfull of times since purchasing this watch.  A full reset or putting it back on the charger over night sorted out the issue.  Again - this has only happened maybe 3 - 4 times in over a years worth of use - so not an issue that has really bothered me.

All in all, yes - moving between screens with sweaty fingers can be hit and miss and the satellite may take a few seconds longer than what you want to lock on, plus the charge on the watch only holds for a week at most - depending on how often you use the watch - but you can easily work around all those issues.  Given my experiences with this watch, would I buy it again - absolutely!  In fact - Amazon just had it at a super low price (even cheaper than what I paid for it originally - and that I thought was a bargain at the time...still is, I think, even though its a discontinued model) and I couldn't pass the opportunity to purchase another one - either as a spare or maybe even a gift!  For what I paid originally for this watch and how well its worked for me so far - its worth the 5 stars...even with the minor issues noted above.

This is actually a 3.5 star watch for me right now. I do like this watch for the most part, and will certainly keep it, but there are a few things about it worth pointing out. First of all, I would be hard pressed to call this a "man's" watch. The face of the watch is perfect for a female (of which I am) but I think for most men it would be too small. That said, the band for most females would probably be too big. It is extremely loose on me. I plan to have an extra hole punched in when I can. I don't want to do it myself because it is a nice band and I don't want to risk damaging it. I will wear it loosely for now and take it to a jeweler to have it fitted soon. Another issue I have is that there are some black streaks in the face of the one that was shipped to me. I am sure they are not supposed to be there, and they are faint, but I can still see them. They annoy me, but not enough for me to pay to have it shipped back to Amazon to replace. Still, a little disappointing. Things I love about the watch is the overall creativity, the quality of the band and the other materials used to make the watch, and of course, the darling little watch hands. I will admit that I normally wear a Swatch, and I found this when I was looking to buy a new Swatch. I love the whimsy of Swatches, but the overall quality of them can suffer after a few months use. This watch has the colors and whimsy that I love, but also looks fairly dressy and professional. I think it will probably become a 4 star watch for me when I get the band fix, but I think the faint streaks are going to keep it from every becoming a 5 star watch for me.

I love the look and feel of this watch.  It is beautifully made and I'll have no problem trusting it on my dives... once I fix a problematic flaw.

The flaw:  The rubber wrist band has a strange and cumbersome design- the ends of the bands that are against the watch have a EXTRA flange that actually fits INTO a receiving slot in the watch itself.  On paper this design would seem to add strength and resilience to the band connection.  In practice the design actual works against you by causing the band to pop off the watch when just slightly too much pressure is used to tighten the straps when putting it on.  To compound the problem, the extremely tight fit of the band into the watch receiver makes it impossible for you to reattach the band to the watch yourself.  I have already had to take the bands to a jeweler (4 times so far) to have the band re-attached.  And even the jeweler with his gear had problems, and it took quite a while each time.

I haven't taken the watch on a dive yet, and am fearful if it is taken on a dive trip somewhere, and the strap pops out in the field, I'll be without a usable watch until I get back to where I can find a jeweler.  That is a BIG problem and an unacceptable lack of trust level.

I and my jeweler tried several things to fix the problem, including finding extra heavy duty compression springs and heavier (and longer) compression cylinders that fit into the band ends.  They all eventually pop out.

Our final solution (hopefully final, as the parts aren't here yet to test it): I ordered another set of watch bands from a different manufacturer that do NOT have the added flange that fits into the watch receiving slot.  It is my opinion, and the jeweler agrees, that it is the original designed band with the flange that fits INTO the watch receiver that puts too much torque on the band when you try to tighten the strap.  In essence the design was supposed to add strength, but really only puts too much leverage against the spring bars when tightening the strap on to your wrist, resulting in band "pop-outs" and subsequent pains in re-attachment to the watch.

The new bands are as wide and heavy-duty as the original.  I'll also keep using the heavy-duty new compression bars that connect the band to the watch.  But the ends of the bands will freely swivvle at the watch connection, and NOT be fixed tightly and immovablely into the watch.  I think this will solve the failure, and trust, problem.  It only cost me an added $35 for the new bands.

One BAD note against the manufacture customer service and tech support people: they totally blew me off about my explanation of the problem and proposed solution (I had hoped they'd send me a modified band without the flange- no way!).  They wanted me to send them back the entire watch overseas for "repair".  10 to 12 week turn-around!  And I suspect they'd do NOTHING MORE than re-attach the bands, which my friendly jeweler was doing (repeatedly!) for nothing, plus time it took to drive to the shop and wait for the fix.  TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE "SERVICE"!

Awesome looking watch. The compass doesn't work as others have stated. The knob to set the time broke off on one of the dials. I don't know how this happened. But considering how much I love this watch especially for the price I'd recommend it. Just be careful not to break them.

This watch is really good for the price.  It's loaded with well-made features, but it has one major flaw that prevents it from being a great watch: the display.  Unlike the nice silver color of the digits as seen on the official picture, the numbers actually show up a dull bronze.  This makes the watch very difficult to read without a direct light source or the backlight on.

Other than that here are some good points:
-well designed interface
-well built

A few minor faults:
-unit runs a little fast (gains about 30 seconds/month, i.e. gains about 1 second per day)
-the design of the band/case is somewhat bland

Overall conclusion: I recommend this watch.

Overall, this is a nice watch. The numbers are easily visible and legible, the band is fairly wide and covers my wrist tattoo, which was my biggest concern, and the design is nice and simple.

What bugged me was the buttons. There are 4 buttons: an A, B, C, and D button. They all have different functions. That's great and all, if the B and D buttons didn't do the same thing (which they are not supposed to). I have to press the D button in one exact spot, otherwise it doesn't work the way it should. It's more than a bit frustrating.

This is a really good watch.  One reviewer said that he wished it was a little larger, but I think it is a good size (and I generally like large watches).  It makes a great dress watch.

My one reservation is the band.  The way the leather is textured causes it to bend more sharply in certain places (one place in particular on my own watch).  I would probably think that this was a fluke, but you can notice it on the watch in the above picture.  Notice that there is a kink in the band on the middle picture above.  On my watch, there is a similar kink which seems to be in about the same place.  This causes the watch to want to ride slightly off center on my wrist.  The face of the watch doesn't remain straight while I'm wearing it.  This is a mild irritant to me.  However, someone else might find it more bothersome.

This is one of three Invicta watches that I own.  They are generally very good watches and very much worth the money.

I loved everything about this watch, until there was some weird mechanical error and the watch face rotated after I bumped it and now the watch is non-functional. I really liked not needing a battery and found the face really easy to read (and loved having day and date features). The face scratches pretty easily and I wish it lasted for longer, but it's a nice looking watch.

I really like this watch. It is very unique looking and also very heavy. The picture misrepresents the face. It is actually gold with a glint of blue or purple in sunlight.

Now the frustrating part.  Quality.

I have babied this watch and after 2 weeks I have a scratch on the glass and another on the the stainless face place. I was amazed to see them because I have not dropped it or noticeably bumped it but I am a bit miffed. Also, the area underneath the springs looks like it was buffed out and makes a strange square pattern under the spring attachment.

All in all it is not a bad purchase but it really makes me apprehensive to try the higher end Android products

I am dropping this review to one star after owning it several months. The reason I am doing this is because

1. It is more fragile than I previously stated. It gets scratched, scuffed and dinked very eaisly
2. It isn't as noticeable as people would make it out to seem
3. My WATCH loses 5 min every 48 hours.

I wish I could return it but will probably get bored and take it apart...

It's a beautiful watch, but there were multiple issues, so it needed to be returned. First, it is very loud. The ticking of the second hand is audible from the next room. Second, the watch I received ran slow. It lost a few minutes every hour, no matter how many times I reset it. Unfortunate, because it really is a nice watch that looks and feels high quality.

I was very hesitant whether to order this watch because of its size and chunkiness, but I loved it when I received it and ladies it looks just fine on small wrists! :)
The watch looks and feels great, it's very good quality, the strap is very soft and comfortable and I've worn it every day since I got it.
However sadly, I must take a star off its rating though because of small defects that bother me. I have the same issue with Indiglo as the majority (or even all) watches of this model. The bottom part of the watch face would not illuminate, it just looks ugly, as well as some other small defects in the print of the numbers on the face, the hands not landing precisely on the watch face markings and such. Small things that aren't issues but just betray lower standards of quality and I'm only mentioning them so that Timex knows we notice this.
Lovely watch in any case. I'll also give you this cool way of tucking the remainder of the strap when there's a lot of it so it doesn't stick out, it's very elegant, I find :)

I really like the watch. It was packaged good and everything but the complaint I have about it, is that it didn't work when I first got it. Not wanting to tamper with it myself just in case I had to send it back, I took it to a jeweler and all three of the batteries didn't work. One of the batteries was in there for so long that it was badly coroded. I feel that the watch should have been in good working condition when I got it. I spent $55 on the watch and another $15 on 3 batteries to get it working.

THE PROS
The face is deceptively classy for a sub-$20 watch. I've gotten lots of compliments on my "fancy" new watch, and when I ask folks how much they think I spent on it, the guesswork ranges from $100-$300.

THE CONS
* There are definitely some quality issues. The keeper bands that hold the strap in place both broke within a month of purchase. One broke within the first week; the other followed suit 3 weeks later. Then the spring holding the strap in place popped out, and the watch face shattered when it hit the ground. The company sent me a new watch, but the springs on the new one have both popped out several times. I've had the new watch for about a month, and the springs pop out on average once or twice a day.

* It can be a pain in the ass to keep the time accurate if you don't wear it constantly. If I take it off at night, I'll usually need to wind it A LOT and then recalibrate the time and date. From time to time, the second hand hangs up, and the watch stops. Sometimes winding it will get it moving again. This happened again today though, and I haven't been able to get it going again.

* Kind of annoying  the date advances at 10pm instead of at midnight, which can be confusing. Also, the date dial only has 31 digits, so for the first day of a month following 30-day months, you're going to have to advance the date manually.

* The watch strap is definitely not leather. Did you really expect that for the price though? No. Let's be real. You didn't. So there it is. And the strap is actually too big for my wrist, so I had to punch an additional hole to make it fit.

Really like, but don't love the watch.  After you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to navigate (hint use the middle button on the right side of the face to get into setting mode) and the top and bottom buttons on the right to navigate.  The issue that I found was a subtle one that might not impact most users, but I found that the altimeter didn't give legitimate readings.  I'm still looking into why that is, but since that's not an easy fix or readily explainable, I can't give this watch more than a 4, but I can say that it's been noticed a couple of times mostly by other Suunto wearers.

Great watch, although has a few idiosyncrasies that annoy me given it functions extremely similar to my old timex ironman triathlon, but slightly different in menu navigation to its detriment. The vibration alarm function also may not wake you but the fifth alarm has a special "snooze" function that goes off every 5 minutes that should be able to wake you. Although it will continue to go off 5 times unless you "reset" that alarm by turning it off then on again.
