Invicta FTW!
I cant' believe I picked up this beauty here at Amazon for under eighty bucks! Having bought another in the "I Force" series a while ago, and absolutely loved it, I've had this one on my wishlist for a while.My other one is the all black, with the stenciled white lettering (Invicta model 1517) and I loved the lefty style function buttons, the bold but not overdone size of it, and of course the performance and design. I knew I wanted another I Force, and after sorting through all of the various versions of this line from Invicta, I felt this one, the 3329, was the best, for my tastes.Having now received it, I'm extremely pleased with my choice! I love a good blue face dial, and the blue is gorgeous on this one. It is so beautifully off set by the gold, with the overall look tied together so well with the brown leather strap. As with all Invictas, details abound, and on this model, we have red numbering for 24 Hour tracking, hands that are accented red, with added details of a circular window on the constant second hand, and white detailing on the chrono second hand, we see gold outlining on the white numbers, tachymeter indications which add further depth to the dial, and even the Invicta lettering engraved on the side of the case. The lume is green, and glows bright, although it doesn't last very long (which is to be expected in a lower tiered product line).I'm an Invicta fan, and have been for years, because of the quality and affordability. I've since branched out to other brands, including "high end" brands, but, still, no one gives you this much watch at this price point, and paying far more often doesn't get you half of what Invicta provides for their customers. So, I keep coming back for more!To clear up the inflated "MSRP" confusion, as I've said in other reviews, this is not a "discount" from that price level -- Invicta simply points out how much you COULD pay for a feature set like this, among other brands, and it is accurate, to some degree.It's more accurate in some cases versus others -- for example I picked up a Limited Edition Sea Base, half a mile of water resistance, Swiss movement, helium release valve, sapphire crystal, etc., and Invicta gave it an MSRP of over two thousand dollars (I bought it for less than three hundred). That's accurate, for sure, and is actually pricing it for LESS than what that feature set could cost. Other brands charge up to tens of thousands for a watch of that caliber. So, certainly the MSRP is more than justified there.In general, the MSRP is understandable when we think of the MSRP as more of a "comparison" kind of price point. In this case, it's maybe not so accurate. No, you wouldn't have to spend five hundred plus bucks for a watch like this, from certain standpoints, and, in fact, if you did, you could get more than what this watch offers, if you knew what to look for in that price range. You'd get Swiss movement, possibly sapphire crystal, and maybe a bit of brand bragging rights, depending on your choice. Granted, you COULD spend five hundred, and not even get what this one offers, but I think, for this model, this MSRP could be set more around three hundred, than five, just in my opinion.But, given the style and unique look, you'd be hard pressed, at even five thousand dollars, to find something that looks this good, and possibly that's what Invicta is saying here, in which case the MSRP is maybe even too low. After all, in the military/aviator style, it's a very pricey and exclusive neighborhood. And, this is really where Invicta rules, is offering distinct watch styles that many of the brag brands don't even provide, at all, at any price, or at price points well north of twenty or thirty grand. Sadly, many brag brands are just boring, and Invicta deserves high praise for its designs, especially given the hugely reasonable pricing.I would be totally okay paying what this was running for, just over a hundred dollars, but other things needed to be bought, so, as I mentioned, I was kind of just keeping an eye on it, and, when it dropped to under 80 bucks, I could NOT resist. Usually, I go with Reserve pieces (usually a few hundred dollars in pricing, but with synthetic sapphire, Swiss movements, etc., and I've never ever been disappointed, not once), but in this case, I just loved this particular series so much, I had to give it a try, and, as I say, I loved the other I Force so much that I knew a second one had to happen.While this is among the "budget" kind of series from Invicta, they have some real gems within their most affordable line, and the I Force definitely stands out as a top draw. The military/aviator look, as I mentioned, is difficult to find for less than many thousands of dollars, so just on style alone this is major find. Factor in chronograph function, date window, genuine leather strap, plus a hundred meters of water resistance, and you have a definite winner. Add the affordable pricing, and it's a no brainer on what a great watch you're getting here.While perhaps not as impressive as some of the higher priced Invictas I own, this watch definitely holds its own, nonetheless, and I smile every time I glance at it, whether on the shelf, among its brethren, or on my wrist.You won't be disappointed in this terrific watch from Invicta -- as a gift to yourself, or a loved one, it's more than worth the asking price.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Nice watch for the price.
I was first impressed by the watch because I really liked the combination of the blue and gold, and I must say, it really does look nice in person. I had some trouble deciding between this watch and the Invicta 1516 because the 1516 had a 1/10 second dial, but this one had the nice brown leather strap. Well I went with this watch, and to my surprise, mine did have a 1/10 second dial as well as a 12 hr dial for the chronograph, unlike what is described and pictured here. The tag on the watch said it was a 3329, so I guess Invicta has just updated the model a bit from when it was first made.Like others have said, it is a large watch. People will see you wear it and comment on the size of the watch. It is not just the face of the watch that is large; the strap is pretty large too compared to other watches I have worn. I wear it on the second to last or the last hole (tightest possible) depending on how frequently I have worn it and how stretched out the leather is that day. I don't think I have small wrists either.I have had the watch about three weeks, and I have not had any issues with it yet. Everything functions properly, and it keeps time well.

Excellent watch at a good price.
I own two Invictas but this is my everyday watch I have received a lot of compliments I guess because it's so big and attractive if you like big watches Invictas are the route to go definitely not for wimpy people or wrists because they are big. After 4 years of ownership the band split at the main clasp and I have troubles setting the correct date sectionotherwise it keeps good time the battery still works well and I am happy with it.

A very nice timepiece
My friends, even in an age of smartphones and smartwatches, there is still nothing more classy than sporting a fine timepiece. This watch has a large face framed by, what is, of course not necessarily gold, but a nicely gold colored frame. The leather band is the icing on the cake. It looks great my friends, the only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars is the leather band isn't quite as dark of a brown as it looks in the pictures. Other than that, it's beautiful and you're gonna love the way it looks on you.

Technically we are all time travelers. Every second we speed into the next second, as we transition thru time ...AND NOW I CAN WATCH IT LIVE ON MY WRIST.Who needs sea monkeys when you possess a chronograph displaying our travels thru TIME(please insert cool background music, readers choice) Yes Time. *F* You Einstein, I DO WHAT I WANT... & I wanna be a time traveler I Be A G Dang Timetraveler & this watch is MINE.GET YOUR OWN. I KNOW YOU JELLY. ... ... but I digress"THEY" Said I couldn't be a timetraveler since lefthanded watches are for the "ELITE", the "RICH", the "POWERFUL" ... & I was & am a LEFTHANDED PERSON OF LEFTHANDEDNESS & I've Never POSED as a "Righty"( No Offense intended for those that self identify as Other handedness, or no handedness,, but honestly a Wrist is required for a majority of Wristwatches, at least one. Perhaps a Pocket watch is more your KINK or maybe an Ankle watch. You could also purchase or inherit a Grandfather clock, or mount a wall clock [PLEASE DON'T MAKE A VIDEO] This review is Leftish leaning & I don'twant to offend anyone. I do Proudly Self Identify as LEFTHANDED & have since ... ... .. .. . . ¿Handedness? )So in conclusion GREAT JOB !WELL DONE !I AM PROUD OF YOU !LOOK AT ME, RIGHT IN THE EYEBALLS, WITHIN THE EYESOCKETS.. WHY CAN'T I STOP SCREAMING !!!!(sorry, I had cap lock on)I am proud of YouEnjoy that praiseYou're a good personShare your happinessLIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE
