Looks nice; a good watch for casual wear; see update for battery issue

This is an inexpensive watch, so don't expect it to compete with watches costing many times more. But for what it is, it was a very good deal.
For this review, I'm comparing to my stainless steel Citizen dive watch. For me, the best feature is the watch face, which is a carbon composite that gives a pretty cool 3D/holographic feel. The case and band are light, which could present durability issues later, but makes for a far lighter watch than the size (big!) would suggest. The "rose gold" accents on the stainless steel band and crown look nice when new, but the quality of the material isn't the best, they scratch fairly easily, and they will show wear sooner than heavier, and more expensive, materials like those found in my Citizen. The watch is rated for 200 meter water resistance, but it has a simple pull-out crown rather than a screw-down, so that should be taken with a grain of salt. I'd wear this for snorkeling, but for scuba I'll stick with my real dive watch. If it fails, there is a $25 charge, plus the cost of return shipping, to get it repaired or replaced under warranty.
Bottom line: A good, inexpensive watch for everyday use, but I wouldn't expect it to stand up to rough use.
Update 2/15/2015: After owning this watch less than 2 months, it just stopped running. No incidents that would suggest damage or defect was the cause, so rather than return it to Invicta and pay both the shipping charge to get it to them AND their $25 "return shipping and insurance" fee (who are they kidding with that?), I took a shot and replaced the battery, a simple, 5 minute DIY job with the right tools. Bingo, the watch is working again. I don't know yet if this was a cheapo battery, a watch that had sat around for a couple of years before I bought it, or if this is just a watch that eats batteries, but I'm downgrading my rating from 5 to 4 stars.

UPDATE:  6/16/18 -- I've had this watch for almost a year now.  It's still going strong.  Sets itself, charges itself...nothing else to do except wear it.  I really like the watch and the casual style.  The band is okay, but since it's made of stiff cloth (like an olive colored canvas), it's dirty now and needs to be replaced.  I wear this watch every day and have only noticed one small scratch on the crystal.  The crystal isn't the hardest of materials, but it's hung in there for me through daily wear and my work around airplanes as a pilot.  I'm upgrading my review to five stars.

ORIGINAL REVIEW -- This watch took about 3 weeks to arrive since it ships from overseas.  I bought it to replace a similar-looking automatic (self-winding) watch that I never could get to run even semi-accurately.  From that experience, I decided to take a chance on this $90 Casio which charges itself through a solar cell in the watch face (never needs a battery change) and then automatically sets itself to the proper time using a time signal from Boulder, CO.

The instructions are in Japanese so you'll need to first download them in English for this model from the Casio website.  Setting this watch was the biggest challenge for me.  It wasn't all that clear or easy to set from the instructions.  Eventually, I got it all set up (and in English), but I don't use the stopwatch, alarm, or countdown timer features so I can't comment on how easy or hard those features are to use.  The watch is extremely accurate and just tweaks itself periodically and automatically.  I really like that aspect of the watch--dependably accurate. It also has a nice amber-looking light that makes the hands easy to read at night.

Some customers don't like the band and some have said not so bad.  But I just wear it loose and it's seems fine to me.

I like the olive green color and steel look to the watch.  A nice, casual watch.

Overall, I like the watch very much and would recommend it.  If it lasts, it'll be my go-to watch for every day wear.

Nice looking watch and keeps time well, I wear it every day so no rocker is required. The problem I have is with setting the date and day, I have to do this daily because it never changes at the right time of night. Some times the day changes correctly but the date remains behind. I am hoping that if I keep resetting it eventually it will run correctly. Also the face is not scratch resistant and after the first week I had a couple of big scratches across the face. So overall, it's alright, I wanted a watch that didn't need a battery and thats what this is, I'm just glad it wasn't expensive otherwise I may have been upset.

This is my first Bering-branded watch and so far I like it.  Words I'd use to describe it: thin, understated, minimalist, contemporary, casual.  It feels substantial and appears well made.

* Pros:

Easily adjusted watchband - I figured it out myself before I got that far in the manual.  You'll need a small screwdriver.

It's very easy to read the time of day and the second hand is easy to see as well.

The band and watch body are a really attractive, very deep navy blue - close to black but not quite there. The watch face has a faint gold/reddish tone.

* Cons:

The product pics on Amazon show the watch face noticeably recessed inside the watch body, especially the photo taken at an angle, especially when mousing over for a magnified view.  Looks really cool, huh?  But there's no noticeable recess when looking at the watch in person (even with a magnifying glass).  The reason is that the photos are of the watch with the crystal removed.  If present in the pic, the crystal would fill the void above the watch face and the apparent recess would vanish.  I'm guessing that's because the crystal reflects light obscuring the face somewhat, and the photographer may have wanted to capture the face of the watch as precisely as possible.  Mission accomplished, but the side effect is that the photos only look kinda sorta like the watch.

You may need a magnifying glass to read the manual, but you probably won't have to do that more than once.

You may need a magnifying glass to read the date on the watch face, and if your eyes are as lousy as mine you'll need the magnifier almost every time.

There's no backlight and the dial is not luminous.

Other comments:

The band seems to attach to the watch body via four very tiny Phillips head screws (two at each end of the band).  I hope this is a sturdier and more easily-repaired design than the failure-prone pin design that Skagen uses.  Time will tell.

It comes out of the box with a paper tag showing a barcode, an item number and "$189.00" which I guess is for retail display.  "But hey, just for you we've got a special today..."

I have to say something about the presentation box (or I should say presentation jar).  I was amazed at how heavy the package was until I opened it and found that the watch is inside a frosted glass jar.  The glass is thick and heavy, thicker at the base, and is meant to be repurposed as a candy dish, vase, candle holder, cotton swab bowl for the bathroom, what have you.  No big deal but I hope they put as much care into the watch as they put into the presentation.

The big negative for me is that I really, really liked the photos on the Amazon product page; that's what I thought I'd be looking at when I received it.  Now that I've seen the genuine article it's obvious that the photos are of a watch without a crystal - DOH!  I do like and will keep the watch, but prospective buyers should know that what you see (as of this writing) is not exactly what you get.

Usually I don't wear a watch: I have enough clocks (on my smart phone, computers, car, etc.) and I don't care for the bulk & weight of something on my wrist.  I bought this for an international trip, to avoid pulling out my mobile phone to keep track of the time during tightly scheduled activities.

DIMENSIONS: A couple in the description above are incorrect - are actually smaller than stated.
- Band width (46.6 mm) is actually 27 mm at the case, necks down to 20 mm for most of its length.
- Case DIA 5.2 cm is from top of the case to the bottom, at the band attachment points. Side to side is actually ~46 mm.
Probably a little big for some wrists, and maybe for some long sleeves & cuffs.

HANDS:
- Automatically move after the digital time has been set - this is a big deal vs. other watches (where the analog & digital are not linked, are set separately, and the hands can only be adjusted forward - I stopped wearing one of those b/c the hands ran fast, and keeping the them synced with the digital was a pain).
- At beginning of each minute (00 seconds), minute hand moves PART way to the next minute, at 20 seconds moves a little farther, then at 40 seconds moves the rest of the way.  A little annoying, but I'll get used to it.  [SEE UPDATE BELOW]
- No second hand (but for this price, and the automatic link with the digital clock, probably not feasible).  The digital second indicator & display are ok (when not obscured by the minute hand).
- Minute hand obscures parts of the digital display at for a couple minutes each hour - reading the stopwatch, timer, etc. is a bit of a challenge at those times.  Able to see around it with a little difficulty.

FEATURES & BUTTONS:
- Use of the buttons & digital features is reasonably intuitive.  User manual provides decent instructions.
- Buttons are a nice size and feel very firm (vs. cheap springy feel on some in this price range).

LOOK & FEEL &...
- Photos in the description are good.  Nice looking watch.
- Very light weight - feels nice (note above, my commented aversion to heavy watches).
- Durability is TBD (I just bought it), but it looks & feels good in that regard.

PRICE:  Variations of this model were $50 at local retail.

MY BOTTOM LINE: Overall, a nice utility watch for the price.  With this one, I may go back to wearing a watch routinely.

UPDATE: while traveling & changing time zones, analog hands de-synchronized from digital (not sure how - maybe pressed the wrong buttons too long in the dark).  Instructions under "To adjust home positions" were critical to fixing this - which also fixed the slight mismatch noted above.

I like this watch and wore it often, but the battery ran out quickly.

This is a very pretty watch, especially for the reduced Lightning Deal price I paid. It's a good all-around two-tone watch, looking casual enough with every day clothes, but just enough sparkle to be worn with a slightly dressier outfit. I have very small wrists, but I was able to take it to a jeweler and have several links removed for a small fee.

I have had an issue with it not keeping the correct time; I'm not sure if I have accidentally pulled out the crown a bit without realizing it, but more than once I have discovered it was slow by as much as half an hour. I was very careful to really push the crown in this morning (when I last noticed it was off and corrected it), and so far it has kept the correct time. I will update if I continue to have problems.

I was really excited to get this watch two months ago. It is stylish and does a good enough job for me with the step count and sleeping. I have small wrists and so it never fit perfectly flush on my arm. Unfortunately each time I look down at my wrist to tell the time the watch hands start spinning, so I have to wait until they stop before I can tell what time it is. This was a minor annoyance until this morning when the battery stopped working only 2 months after I bought the watch! And I have never used the alarm on it. I think those with small wrists may run out this battery way sooner than anyone else. Unfortunately as others have noted it is impossible to find someone to speak with in customer service and I will have to wait until they email me. I do not want to keep a watch that I will have to replace the battery for every two months. It was supposed to last eight months. UPDATE: I have been dealing with customer service for a few days now and it has been an all-around negative experience. They said there is an update coming out so that the watch hands do not spin if you DONT set the alarm. So, those with small wrists cannot use the alarm on this watch unless they want the battery to run out (and have to be professionally replaced to remain waterproof!) every two months.

Pros: Looks great, comfortable
Cons: Battery died after 4 years, despite being solar powered

Summary: I got one of these about 4 years ago and have worn it a lot. In fact I wore out the original leather strap (which I replaced). However, it recently died. I assume the problem is the battery. My mistake was storing it in a dark cabinet. This watch needs light to recharge itself since it is solar powered. The whole concept of "ecodrive" is a little strange however. I think the most ecofriendly type of watch is a mechanical watch that uses no batter whatsoever, just a spring you wind up yourself.

It's a very handsome look!  Watch face, band, sparkles, all that I wanted in the fashion sense.  However, it will sometimes keep time, and at others, not at all.  Not sure that I want to invest in a new battery either.  Should be new at purchase, correct?  But, am wearing it all the same : )

For the price, awesome watch.  I had to replace the battery within a few months of using it, but it looks very nice and I get compliments for this inexpensive watch.

Original review:
It's nice looking, comfortable and it works. I looses about a minute every day which I learned the hard way by missing busses and being late for appointments and being pissed of at the bus drivers and people who began their meetings early... Finally looked at my watch while I was on the computer and it was rather behind the time. Now that I am aware of it I adjust the time ever morning. Other than that minor pain in the ass, it seems a pretty good watch.

6 months later:
After 6 months I've finally realized that this is a self winding watch! No batteries! Suddenly the almost a minute a day loss of time becomes completely unimportant. I don't have to worry about batteries and that's worth a tiny bit of fidgeting... six months on the wrist in all sorts of conditions, bizarre and otherwise, and it still works beautifully, the crystal is still scratch free and the woven band and latch are doing just fine, showing no sign of wear at all... (very unusual for a watch on my wrist). I recommend it highly 'n so on 'n so forth...

Updated: This is a great watch. I recommend it, but read the cons.

Pros :
- timer
- stopwatch
- glow in the dark arms
- world time (invaluable for keeping track of clients/friends in another timezone)
- super easily adjustable band
- alarms are pretty easy to set.

Cons :
- to set the timer, you can only go forward in time, so setting from 10 minutes to 5 minutes requires going through all 100 minute options.
- the light is useless, and doesn't illuminate properly.
- after owning it for about 2 years, the analog clock is a 2 minutes fast due to mechanism breakdown.

Thoughts :
- Solar power : I wish this device had the option to be a 10 year battery - I haven't seen a version that is. BUT I have had no issue getting the device to HI battery by just walking about a couple days in the sun, so no big deal (we'll see what is like during the winter)

UPDATED - 3/27/15:

Original review:

I absolutely love this watch. I work in a business casual (slacks and a button down) environment and this watch is perfect for that. I put it on right out of the box and have been wearing it for a week straight now and I've grown to like it more everyday. The watch band has given me zero discomfort as noticed by others. It's not as comfortable as broken-in leather but it's close enough. The face is big enough to read the time instantly but not too big. The case diameter is nearly perfect. The letters and hands contrast perfectly. The crown is easy to manipulate setting both time and date, and overall this is probably going to be my everyday watch for quite some time.

Update:

After a few months of wear I have found that the size of the crown causes the time to change fairly frequently. I assume it rolls on my wrist during normal wear for this to occur. It's enough to make this watch less attractive to wear because I find myself checking my phone or computer to make sure the time is correct. Another thing is the band picks up dirt. I know that it is fabric so it obviously will pick up some dirt but I value functionality and low maintenance so having to wash the band is a detractor. I am moving this from five stars to three.

I have always been a digital person until now. I don't have to stare too long at it to figure out what time it is. This watch looks nice and is very easy to read. The white face really sets it off. The day, date is a must. The watch died on me twice overnight. Room lights got it back up and running. After nine months it died a third time and would not restart. Following the advice of the internet I tried a fluorescent reading light for 24 hours and that did not work. I then tried a 60 watt incandescent bulb about one foot away for 48 hours and it is now fully charged. Something about the wave lengths of fluorescents. I found out from the owners Manuel (which I failed to read) is that the watch needs to be fully charged before wearing it. Room light will not fully charge the watch. Once charged it is good for 10 months. Direct sun light will charge it in about two hours. I mention this because of the above review of the person with a dead watch. So buy the watch, fully charge it by following the owner's Manuel and you will have no regrets.

Great as a casual watch. The beige face is quite attractive (though that's a matter of taste). It's on the thick side (also a matter of taste whether you like that). The band is a bit large for my wrist. Wrist is 7" around; the band has nine holes and I buckle it on the third smallest hole.

One reviewer mentioned loud ticking, but I don't hear that except when I hold it up to my ear. (Maybe that and the large numbers mean this is designed for us aging baby boomers.)

As one other reviewer mentioned, the band is more brown than olive. For me, that's a plus. On mine, it isn't stiff, though some other reviewer noted that as a problem.

Finally, indiglo watches are great when you're sitting in a theater and thinking, "Is this movie EVER going to end?"

At under $20 (at this writing) for this color it's a winner. (I see that other colors cost more.)

The description says "Swiss made," but the box says that the movement is from the Philippines (that's a new one!) and the strap is from China. Also the description from the manufacturer (here on the Amazon website) says, "Deployment clasp with push button release." No, it's a regular buckle.  This must be from some other watch. Sloppy.

You can't go wrong with this watch. It's a nice looking casual watch with a wee bit of bling for an amazing price. I have another watch just like it and the battery lasted 2 years. A replacement battery was $8. I just wish that they made wind-up watches (I hate the wastefulness of the batteries).
