While the watch is attractive, it has limitations that I assumed would be on it!  There wasn't an instructional guide with it!  I guess the price is indicative of its limitations!

This watch looks nice, but it's very difficult to tell time. The chrono second hand (the large second hand) is way too long in the other direction, often masking the minute hand. The Minute and hour hands are "skeleton" hands, meaning they end up being thin. Watch looks good, but the design is not a friendly one.

This watch is attractive and well made.  The band is thick and seems durable too.  This watch has good instructions to follow on how to set up.  For a man who enjoys grilling and has everything this watch would be a great gift.  Just looking at the watch you cannot tell it is any different than any other mens watch.  The watch seems fairly accurate with its grilling time; however the consumer would need to be careful when first using because the heat of grills varies so the time may be different depending on brand of grill.  The thickness of the meat can also be a factor.  I would give the product 3 stars just because I do not feel it is really that useable of a product.

The watch is beautiful.  The three things my wife didn't like are it is too heavy.  It is too hard to get on and off and too big.  The size makes her think it looks like a man's watch.  In fairness that may be age related as the younger women do seem to wear much bigger watches.

This is the second Invicta watch I have reviewed.  Both of them should have had a diagram on how to use the watch band.  Keep in mind I'm a technut and can get a hard drive out of a laptop and not destroy anything.  I note that because having issues with how to make a watch band work sounds ludicrous but both bands were difficult to figure out.

The hard off and on didn't bother me once I figured it out but this watch fastens in a manner which and I quote my bride, "will ruin my nails!"

The watch was easy to set and the manual did have a clear diagram on that.  So you have a very attractive watch that needs better documentation and a fastener that doesn't ruin nails.

Light weight and flat are two positives regarding this watch. It's also attractive, which is a great plus, too! However, the calendar is tiny, and is difficult to read. This isn't of great importance to me (I'm retired) but if you need a date on your watch, this model may not be for you. Also, the band is too large for my wrist and the instructions for reducing the size are a bit difficult to follow. That said, it's a very handsome watch and I'm looking forward to wearing it!

This watch is attractive, nice size for my wrist and at a good price. My problems were first with the latch. It popped open and released the strap every time I took the watch off my wrist. Secondly I found it difficult to read the time. Too much going on on the face and hard to see the hands. Probably a combination of design and my poor eyesight. Instruction booklet wasn't much help regarding the strap but fortunately they provide a link where better instructions are to be had.

The watch itself nice with the large, clear display and good response. Sometimes the display goes totally blank for no reason, but it does respond when tapped. Some of the features take getting used to, such as gestures. Takes some practice and exact movement, so I tend not to use them. The one where you bring the watch up to read the time does seem to work quite well. The biggest problem I have is connecting it with the charging dock. Sometimes it snaps right in, at other times it takes many attempts and special incantations to get it to connect. Overall, I like it; the size took some getting used to, but its noticeability does draw interest and compliments

It's a very nice looking watch and since it's light weight, it's very comfortable to wear. The lock of the watch on the other hand is not very easy to operate.

The watch is beautiful.
However, the clasp arrangement on the watch band is too complicated for me to hook up.
I will have to remove this band and get a regular watch band.
This experience has taught me to be careful when buying some of these expensive watches.

I missed this item when reviewing the watch before ordering.

I'll start this review with a caveat: I have large wrists.  That's problematic for me because I have to wear this watch on the last hole, and sometimes in the middle of the day, it feels tight.  The rubber strap makes my wrist sweaty, and likely will never conform to my wrist like a leather one would.  In addition, the face is very busy with the 24 hour and 5-second intervals wrapping around for 3 layers of numbers.

For all that, I still like the look of it, it's just not un-noticeably comfortable, and it takes more than a passing glance to tell the time.

Very attractive watch, which has garnered several compliments, however...it is not very practical for telling time or the date.  The hour and minute hands, being so narrow, can be difficult to read quickly, and the date is also hard to see.  The silicone band is unusually wide, and I have concerns about its durability, but so far I like it.

I really like the color and size of this watch. Most watches these days are huge. That said, I had two problems with the watch. First, the digital display is very small. I found it hard to read. The second and bigger problem is that the analog and digital time-keeping functions are independent. Setting one does not affect the other. It's like having two watches to try to keep synchronized. I returned it.

It's a beautiful watch, but you can't adjust the width of the band, so I have to secure it on my upper forearm. The backing also rubs off on your skin.

Just a few observations that lowered my overall rating of this watch. First of all, I found the watch very difficult to read at a glance. The auxilary hand that indicated tide and temperature, looks too much like the hour and minute hands, causing me to have to stare at the watch for a few seconds every time to determine which hand was which. Kind of frustrating. Second, the description told of a silicone band. I took this to mean that the band was solid rubber (silicone). The band is actually a woven band, which may contain silicone, but looks and feels more like a cloth band. There were also loose strands of fabric around the buckle holes giving a somewhat worn and shabby look. And last, the temperature feature ends up being quite useless, since the watch is prematurely warmed by your wrist. The only practical use for this feature, would require you to remove the watch and wait several minutes for the sensor to stabilize before relying on this feature. Would I recommend this watch? No, I think it is attractive, but found it less than practical for everyday use.

The SNP017 is a damn good looking watch, and Seiko quality is obvious in its construction. However, the functions of the watch are puzzling. It has a small dial that indicates the Leap Year, like that's important. It is advertised as always keeping the correct date, so why the need for a Leap Year dial? It does not have an indicator for the day of the week, which I would have found much more useful than a Leap Year dial. The only other functional shortcoming, in my opinion, is that the hands are too narrow and can be difficult to see if is too dark or there is a glare on the watch glass.

It pains me to write this review because although I love the way the watch looks aesthetically I cannot give it 5 stars due to performance.

Pros:  The watch looks great on the wrist.  It is large, so being able to see everything on the face is very easy.  Although it shows a lot of info, it's not to busy or complicated - your eyes gravitate to exactly what it is you want to see.  The watch is also comfortable to wear, however, I could see this being an issue if you have very small wrists.  The chronograph works and is easily readable.

Cons:  My one and only grip; and it's a big one, is that the watch is rated down to 300 feet for water resistance.  However, I went swimming with it for the first time in only 3-4 feet of water for approximately 30 minutes and I already had a fogging effect inside the face of the watch.  If I take the watch off and let it sit for a couple of hours the condensation goes away.  However, once I put the watch back on my wrist the condensation returns.  Obviously, the watch has either a bad seal or is defective in design.  No matter which, I can't justify spending $70 on a watch advertised as being water resistant when it clearly is not.

Overall:  I would recommend this watch if you just want something casual to wear that you don't mind if it gets scratched or beat up by being active (ie.  working out, yard work, general daily activities).  However, DO NOT wear it in water.
