Invicta Men's 3449 Corduba Collection Oversized Chronograph Watch

I've had my Invicta 3449 Corduba for about a month now and hold the watch in a very positive light. I would consider giving it as a gift. In my opinion, not a "wear-everyday watch", but a "wear-most-days" watch (most=2/3 of time). I like it a lot and find it aesthetically pleasing when worn. It looks and feels as if there is some good heritage and tradition behind this watch. Not too flashy, but simply and solidly built.Addressing some other peoples' complaints with my personal experience:1. "The watch hands are small and makes it difficult to read the time"I do agree that Invicta could have made the watch hands larger to make readability better; however, I don't find any extraordinary effort or annoyance in reading the time. I glance at it and it takes me about 2-4 seconds to find the time.2. "The watch crown digs into the back of your hand"I don't have any issue with this. From what I can conclude, the watch crown digging into the back of your hand can occur from the watch sitting most distally (most toward your fingertips) *AND* if you flex your hand back to touch the crown. If you find your hands flexing back because of whatever you're doing, you'll probably have to sit the watch higher on your wrist.3. "The watch is gaudily big. Flava Flav!"The watch is big enough to get noticed and when you look at it sitting on your wrists, it seems very big. However, if you look at it in the context of your whole body, you'll find that it is a large watch but not something unusually out of proportion. I think it looks masculine and youthful (I'm in my 20's).4. "Too big that it won't fit on long sleeve shirts" / "Some issue putting it in pockets"This is true depending on what kind of long sleeve shirts you wear. All of my long sleeve sweaters, hoodies, and most jackets with flexible wrist ribbing fit over the watch. However, for most of my button-down/collared shirts, the sleeves fit snugly over it and it is a tight fit (but my sleeves doesn't get stuck. my sleeves will naturally go over the watch again if I raise up my arms and the sleeves move out away from the watch). My collared shirts are medium Express modern fitted (should give you an idea of sleeve size). So, if you want to wear this with a button-down, collared shirt, make sure you have sleeves with some room or consider rolling up your sleeves.Also, there can be some issue when digging your hands into your pockets if your pockets are deep. The watch may catch or not allow your hand to go into the pocket. If you have to fit your whole hand in your pocket to grab something, consider putting it in your right pocket. I don't have much issue with this.5. "Strap is short and stiff"True. The "calf leather" strap is relatively short and stiff. The only trouble I have with this is putting on/taking off the watch. There are two "holder bands" (like belt loops) that hold the strap in place after you buckle it in. One of them is immobile (it's sewn onto the band) and the strap must be placed through it. I don't consider this a big issue. However, if you take off and on your watch a lot, you might find this annoying. You may consider cutting off that first, immobile strap for easier looping through the remaining strap holder.Some important things to note that weren't explicit stated so you're not surprised.1. It's "Japan Quartz Movement" and not a "Swiss Movement". But, the chrono works well enough for me and the watch seems accurate.2. (Refer to picture). The clock-seconds is kept by the bottom dial (continually runs). The chronograph-seconds is kept by the traditionally seconds-hand that rotates in the same region as the hour and minute hands. This seemed to confuse me for a while until I figured it out (maybe I'm just a noob).3. Don't forget to register online to extend your warranty to 5 years for free. Follow instructions on the Amazon.com product page for this special offer.I will update on durability (like watch face scratchings, case scratchings, leather fading). So far:1 mo: No scratches or leather band fading with me wearing it daily 5 out of 7 days of the week. No exposure to water yet.

I really like this Invicta chronograph watch. It has a very attractive dial, and nice band and it is big. The face of this watch, while advertised as white, looks like a pale yellow to me. Nevertheless, whatever the color, the face does stand out, not only because of its color but because it is so big - about 2 1/8 inches both height and width.This watch is a chronograph, and there are two sub dials on the face. I like the position of these dials, with the seconds dial being on the top and the minutes being on the bottom of the dial. However, whenever the second, and to a lesser degree the hour hand are anywhere from the 53 minute mark to the 8 minute mark, the second hand for the chronograph is obscured. I really do not find it that annoying, but they do obstruct the view. This happens, to a lesser degree on the bottom dial because the minutes do not move, or are needed as much, as the second hand. The face also has a date window at the 3 o'clock position, and it is oversized so I can see both the date before and the date after. Convenient for someone like me that can never remember what the date is on any given day.This black leather band is nice, and is has white stitching going along each edge. I think this really helps bring out the color (whatever it might be) of the face. The case is all brushed metal and I like how it complements the entire watch.This watch has a Japanese quartz movement, so I was curious as to how accurate it was, so I tested it against the Atomic Clock in Colorado over a period of 24 hours. I found that this watch was fast by 2 seconds over this time period, which means for each month, I have to set my watch back by a minute. I do not think that is bad for this Japanese movement, but I am not sure how it would hold up against a precise Swiss movement.This watch kind of overpowers my wrist, but I like it nonetheless.

This is a really big watch. Face is huge! I have a pretty small wrist but I love big watches so, this one is excellent for my taste. I have 2 of these watches and I love them both! The first watch I had to send to Invicta for repairs after 2 years of wearing it daily. BEWARE: Invicta repair service is slow if you send a watch to them for repairs! It took over 6 months to return my watch from China!!! So, while i waited for that one to return, I bought another one. But, this review is about the watch, not about Invicta slow service. Therefore, this watch gets 5 stars from me!I've received several positive comments from total strangers about how they like the watch and also about how big the watch is. Women love it! It is definitely an eye catching watch. It is also very sturdy. I have dropped it a few times and it fell hard a few times but did not break or crack. It keeps accurate time and the date adjusts easily for 30 day months. Yes, you need to adjust the date manually for 30 day months and also for February... Overall, I love this watch and recommend it for anyone that likes big watches... Check out my pictures that I attached with the watch on my wrist in different positions...

バンドが少し硬くてループに入れづらいです。それと日付の設定がやりにくい。デザインは特に文句なし。

si, pero venia sin pilas, lo cual lo he tenido que abrir y poner una pila nueva lo cual ya no le puede caer agua.

Ever since I purchased this watch in December I have not worn any of my other watches. I do get a lot of comments on it but I wear it because I Love it! So awesome. I have not had any mechanical or other issues with it. Probably will buy another just to have incase they stop producing it.

THE WATCH..........WOW other people stated how large it was well they're not wrong...I LOVE IT my son actually wore it before me, however my wife say's its too big (but thats a different story) The wearing and the practicalities of it I will answer at some point later when I've had the chance to wear it for some time though, my first impressions are good

Awesome watch
