 "Invicta Lupah 2903" 2009-08-01
By Badlands Bob (Maryland, USA)
I bought an Invicta 2903 from Amazon (2009) several months ago after seeing one in a Costco. I found the lowest price from Amazon. It is a large watch, not low and flat like most watches. I like it a lot. The quality is great. The Lorica band is fine -- no one has noticed is not leather (not even when I told my wife) and it is very comfortable. I have had no problems with it at all. I don't drop mine much, but am a fairly big guy (6'2", 230 lbs.) and ride the DC subway regularly. So, I have dropped it and knock it about some. It still works fine, and, no breaks or scratches. The chronograph works well. Unlike a couple other reviewers, I have not noticed myself having difficulty reading the time with this watch (I am 48). Oh yeah, my wife wants one now too.

 "More a piece of jewelry than a functional watch" 2008-04-14
By JBC (Santa Rosa, CA)
This is definitely an attention-grabbing accessory. But, after owning it for a couple of months, I've decided that it's more a piece of jewelry than a functional watch. That's not to say it doesn't keep good time: it keeps excellent time. It's just that you can't easily tell what time it is by glancing at it.



The crown is a huge magnifying crystal. If you're looking straight down at the face of the watch, it does a great job magnifying the face. This would be super in a wall clock, which you often look at straight on. But on a watch, unless you twist your wrist so you're looking directly at the face, the crystal distorts the face sufficiently that it's hard to tell what time it is. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the hands are white on off-white. (And they do not glow in the dark more than a few minutes.) So you really have to look to see what time it is. There's no discretely checking the time during long meetings or when someone's droning on relentlessly.



With regards to the chronograph: I had assumed that the sweep hand was a second hand, and the dials were for the chronograph. That's not the case: the top right dial is the second hand, and the sweep hand is part of the chronograph, measuring 10th's of a second. That's not a problem, but it is odd. Also, I find that I push the very large buttons without intending to or realizing that I've done so. This means I can't fully trust the chronograph for timing long-ish things like parking meters, as I may have stopped the chronograph for some indeterminate period of time by accidentally pushing the buttons. That reduces the chronograph's usefulness somewhat.



Finally, a word to the wise: if you're travelling or going to court, remove this watch before going through the metal detector. I got a very intimate inspection at the airport after trying twice to pass through the metal detectors, and beeping both times. On my return trip, I took off the watch and didn't beep at all.



It may sound like I don't like the watch. That's not true. I wear it most every day. But, by buying it online, I didn't find all this out until after I bought it, so I thought I'd let others know in advance what I would've preferred to know before I bought it.

 "Strong watch, great looks" 2008-02-13
By C. De Prado (New York)
I love Invictas, but have had some issues with the mineral crystal glass breaking. This watch can take rough use. I've dropped it on near every type of city surface with not problems and very few scratches. It still looks good as a classically styled timepiece.

 "Believe that it's BIG! UPDATE: No Longer Working" 2008-02-05
By Reviewer (California)
Understand that when reviewers say this is big, they mean it. The picture on amazon reads very flat. This watch face really shines and the color is very rich looking. It's not the easiest thing to read in the beginning, but once you get used to it, it's fine. It truly is a handsome piece.



UPDATE: I purchased this watch in 2008, it was used very, very gently and now is no longer working in March of 2010. I'm disappointed that with all the hubbub about Invicta watches' quality, I should now be holding a bum example and will have to deal with getting it fixed.

 "Nice watch for the" 2010-02-12
By John O (North Carolina)
This is a nice watch for the money. I have a Grand Dragon from years ago and noticed they are getting difficult to find so I wanted to buy another one. The only down side to this watch is the band. I wish Invicta still had the nicer leather bands using aligator, copperhead, lizard skins. I would recommend this watch to anyone if you like a large case watch.

 "Piece of art at a reasonable price !" 2006-04-29
By Gregoire Daoust (Canada)
I've just bought my blue dragon luaph and I must say I'm very satisfied. The watch looks great, it is comfortable, very precise and the watch looks plain wonderful! Everything about this watch is special, including the box which houses the watch in a nearly bullet-proof environment and looks very nice! Those who fear the blue leather strap may be a color that won't match with everything may not be so right... So far, I've used it with most of my clothes and it doesn't look bad at all, even thus it is a little bit flashy sometimes (but so is the watch, so if were going to buy a very casual watch, you've looked elsewhere aready). My first criticism would relate to the size of the watch, which is quite imposing and cumbersome at first. You should really draw a vague drawing of the watch with the dimensions before biuying, because it is quite big and quite high (watch is around an inch high, around 1.5 inch large and a little bit more than two inches long). I use to wear a Timex Expedition, so I wasn't really used to luxury watches but I was impressed by the size of the watch at first, when I put it on my wrist. Still, I'm very pleased of the look of the watch. It is precise, very detailed and the chronogrpah is impressive! My last criticism would relate to the instruction manual : it seems Invicta has only one manual for all its models and since the watch has some features that are sometimes difficult to understand (the chronograph function actually), more details about the model could have been appreciated for mechanically challenged people like me! Setting the time was also a challenge because you had to pull the pin two notches back, but it wouldn't go further than the first one and I didn't want to pull to hard on it, but after a minute I managed to reach that second notch. Those three little difficulties make me rate this watch 4.5 stars, but since I can't give 1/2 stars I would say it is worth 4 stars (I haven't seen perfection yet, so I don't give out 5 stars !)

 "bad investment" 2009-10-22
By Laura (Virginia)
After about two weeks I dropped this watch on the floor from just counter height. For how bulky this watch is, it should handle a simple drop. It hasn't worked right since then. The time adjustment knob (middle knob) frequently gets jammed in to far causing the watch to stop. Also the chronograph timer never sets to zero any more. It sets to 20 seconds as zero. You have to pay $25 plus your postage to send it back to be fixed. There is a reason they get poor marks with the Better Business Bureau.

 "The big curved crystal actually is the biggest negative point for the watch" 2009-08-10
By Aleksandr Faktor (USA)
I bought this watch since it looked very nice on the Internet. Price was great. I had to return this watch since the crystal was curved so much that it reflected light and I could not read the time easily. Also the dial is a bit busy. I would definitely keep this watch if it was not for the extremely curved crystal. In my opinion, crystal hurts this watch overall. I did not like the feel of the Lorica band either. Leather would be better. I wish Invicta would have a little smaller watch with not so curved mineral crystal.

 "Great idea - poor quality control" 2009-08-08
By medmgr (Katy, TX)
I love the design of this watch (and a lot of the Invictas) since it is so boldly unique (Invicta makes "tribute" watches also). This one is large and in your face. It can not be mistaken for anything other than an Invicta - that is what I really love about the brand.



The issue I have is on the quality side - the first invicta watch I purchased had an alignment problem with the second hand, this one has an even more annoying problem in that the inside of the crystal has streaks when you see the watch in Sunlight. At first I thought it may have been my polarized sunglasses and the severe curve on the crystal - then I looked at without the sunglasses and and you could still very clearly see the residue on the inside of the crystal. It is almost to the level of seemimg completely fogged. After reading all of the customer support issues with Invicta, I may just try and find a local watch repair place and see if they can clean the watch for me - at this price point, it is worth putting some money into the watch to get to its potential.



One more disappointment, the pattern on the dial is very difficult to see compared to other Lupah Dragons because of the black on black, you can see it - but you have to be looking at it straight on and w/ the correct light - it is too subtle. If I was going to do it over again, I would have gone ahead purchsed the copper dial version which is no longer available which makes this very modern watch look as if it is an antique from the twenties - and that is just too cool. The black w/ black band though goes great w/ the black leathers when I ride - so I won't trade it out. Next will be a Russian Diver - fingers crossed on the quality, Amazon price can not be beat by the local mall so I will not be able to inspect the actual watch prior to purchase.
