| I am an aficionado of big watches. So the lupah dragon watch was just to my liking. Apart from being big I admired the design of the watch it is a conversation starter and ice breaker. |
Great watch very powerful presence

This watch has some unique features only found as far as I know on Invicta. It has a very large mineral crystal dial that is dome shaped. Stands very tall on the wrist, won't go under my shirt sleeves. The dial although very pretty to look at is busy and the time hard to read depending on the light conditions.
Now for the good stuff. Invicta has a patent on the Lupah so you don't see this style everyday. It is the most unique and different watch in my collection,it really stands out and draws a great deal of attention. The strap is called Lorica and again I think Invicta has the only right to use this material for watch straps. This is the most comfortable material ever and makes this watch one of the most comfortable to wear you will ever find, especially in a large watch. Invicta says it is waterproof, scratch proof, as well as fade proof and flame resistant. There are even different strap color choices and the straps have interchangeable pins so you can switch them very quickly. I hope you can tell I really love this watch. It's not for everone as it is large, heavy and different but for those who truly love the uniqueness in a timepiece I think your gonna love it. |
Great Watch!

This is my first watch and I ended up buying it from JCPenney on sale. The face of the watch looks a bit different but it is still the 2094 model. It might be an updated version. The fit and finish is pretty good and everything feels solid. It has a nice weight and is pretty large. I've had it for two weeks and love it. It keeps good time and hasn't lost or gained any time since i've had it. The 1/10 second half dial is really creative.
Only thing that somewhat bothers me is the large bubble like mineral crystal. No scratches yet, but it seems prone to them because it sticks out further than pictures justify. Also reading the watch from extreme angles is near impossible because of the large crystal. From more direct views/angles the face is easy to read.
The strap feels great on the wrist and is of high quality. If you are looking at this watch or considering it, I strongly recommend it. First thing that brought me to this watch was the design. I did a bit of further research on invicta and overall they make a great product. Next watch I want to get is the 8926. |

All I have to say is WOW. The pictures do not do watch Justice. I own 3 invicta Watches Never had a problem With any of them. This is cheapest one that I own. It sure does not look like I paid $250 for it. This watch Really has the quailty of Watch 10 times the price. I don't think I will really ever leave invicta quality and price can't be beat. Big Face Watch just turns head.

| Reviewer: Watch Lover, Virginia |
| I have had the watch for about a month and I am extremely pleased with the purchase. The watch has a striking appearance and works great which one would expect. The Lorica band is very comfortable and looks like it will stand up to wear real well. It repels moisture nicely. I have a small wrist and the band is on the last eyelet. I am not sure if a shorter band of the same width is available and I have to look into that. But the size of the watch is what I was looking for. Its impressive on the wrist.The black face and its design is really cool and unique. At the price, it was a great choice for me. |
Beautiful & Interesting Watch

| I purchased this for my husband who collects watches and has several other Invictas. He loves the large face and especially the detail on the face. It has a large curved crystal that makes the time very easy to read. The band is very comfortable also. This watch has a rather rectangular face that is unusual. He is very satisfied with this. By the way, Amazon had the best price out of about fifty or so sites we checked. |

I love this watch. I'm wearing it right now as I write this review. It may seem too big in numbers, but it fits perfectly on my wrist and I'm 170, 6"1 which is pretty thin. The watch just looks really nice, classy, flashy, and pretty baller. It also has a stopwatch which looks pretty interesting as it spins wildly and may come to use one day. It's not really heavy, but I guess I never really had a light watch. It doesn't really bother me though. The hands have glow in the dark stuff on it, so you can still tell time in the dark.
another plus is that you can say your watch was half a g. :) |
It's an eye-grabber!

I recently added this to my growing collection not having actually seen one in the flesh, so to speak. Wow! I was really impressed by the beauty of this watch as soon as I opened that big yellow show-box it rests in. The Dragon scales shimmered in the light, the nice large (but not overly so) size and ergonomic shape, the beautiful fit and finish, all popped out at me right away. Holding the Lupah and feeling it's smooth solidity was very reassuring and the whole experience shouted "quality." For less than $200 you get something which looks like it could cost many times that.
I have some watches of pedigree which I spent big sums on. You all know what Swiss pieces can cost. Of course, I love them for what they are and I totally enjoy wearing them, looking at them, etc. Watch lovers know what I'm talking about in their own special way. But I have received complimentary comments from people on the Dragon and, in fact, my girlfriend asked me the other day if I would change from the Tag Heuer Chrono I had on to the Dragon because she just loved the way it looked on me. Well, OK.
Since even the cheapest watches can keep excellent time, we can assume that most of what we like in one is emotion based. This one is easy to live with and it was love at first sight. |

| Very nice construction, finish, and presentation box. I applaud Invicta for bringing high quality fashion watches to the market for a sane price. I now understand why so many reviewers have a collection of Invicta timepieces. My only complaint is subjective, so it won't affect the five star rating: Size-- 46. I am used to wearing watches that are are around 40mm (i.e. Rolex Sub is 43mm). Many of their watches top 50mm, which is a current trend, but I find watches in that size range too klunky to wear all the time. |

| Found the product I was looking for on Amazon for the best price available, then found out Amazon gave an extra discount off at my time of purchase. Item arrived quickly, in perfect condition, well packaged. Item was as described, in original packaging, Chronograph is a great feature and the watch is beautifully designed. The most unique and attractive Invicta I have seen. A wonderful purchase. |
Beautiful watch - A Great Value

| Reviewer: J. Stearns, |
I received this watch today and I'd have to say I'm quite impressed. It's large, but not massive (I'm on the second-to-last eyelet on the band and it hasn't totally taken over my arm). The convex crystal covering the face magnifies the interior beautifully. In the right light, you can clearly see the subtle designs that weave around the sub-dials. The timepiece itself is weighty and has a very solid feel (the kind that very well should come with a watch that normally fetches over $400 and wants to remind you of that fact). Overall, I'm thrilled with the look. As for how well it keeps time (the important stuff), I haven't yet had the opportunity to judge, but will update this review a few weeks down the road. The chronograph function works flawlessly (and honestly, it's hard for me to stop starting it, stopping it and resetting it just to see all of the hands "about-fact" back to 0). For those who are wondering, the band is Lorica (a VERY convincing and durable leather subsitute used right along materials like Gore-Tex for various applications)
Invicta Watches are some of my favorites. They are reliable, durable and arguably some of the best-looking on the market. The price range on this particular piece makes it a must-buy. |
Big watch - good look for work.

| Reviewer: Nit10Nee, |
I own 2 Invictas - this watch (which I wear to work daily), and a Corduba Ibiza that I wear on the weekends. They are big watches, and as you will read, the company has been suffering some growing pains due to their presence on a tv shopping channel, and the blonde who hocks these watches on said channel.
For the coin, this is a pretty nice dress watch. |

Best of the Lupahs
|
| Review Date: March 30, 2010 |
| Reviewer: JD91, Montclair, CA United States |
| This version of Invicta's unique Lupah collection is one of the best I've seen. To date, it is the only chronograph version of the series and, while it not the largest of the Lupahs, the sub-dials can be seen clearly. The classic style of the Arabic numerals also adds to the great looking style of the watch. The black and white motif of the watch give it a classic look without being over-the-top. The leather strap and curvature of the case make the watch feel very comfortable. If you're looking for a Lupah with a chronograph, this is the watch for you! |

Nice watch and a good sized one-I contemplated buying the larger version Invicta Dragon but am glad I went with the midsize. Comfortable and keeping great time so far- I have had the watch about one month. The service and delivery from Amazon was very good. I am pleased with the purchase!! |
Movement stoping

| Reviewer: J. Steadman, |
| Love the Watch, great size and great feel. however, i had a problem with the movement stopping after a couple days of 'rest'. i put a new battery in it and it seems to solve the issue. But now i find the movement stopping after a couple weeks, then one week, now just a couple days. anyone else have this problem? |

| Reviewer: twist, Yokosuka, Japan |
| I recently bought this watch looking for something with a little weight, and a nice stylish look. I am very happy with the feel, and style of this watch. At certain angles there is a weird distortion to the face, but nothing too drastic to make the watch difficult. Easy use and simple chronograph make it a very versatile watch, and looks good doing it. |

Good Watch, but Very Poor Customer Service
|
| Review Date: May 29, 2006 |
| Reviewer: D. Lee, Lynnwood, WA United States |
| I've had my Invicta for 2 years, and paid for the extended 5 year warranty. It has been a good watch; nice looking and durable. In the last few months however, my screws started falling out one by one and now I only have one out of the four that I need. I tried contacting Invicta, and like others, I tried 4-5 times before getting through. They told me twice that they would ship the screws, but never did. After two months of waiting, I decided to write them a letter only to get a postcard back saying I needed to mail the watch in, at my expense, and pay $20 for them to ship it back. How frustrating??!! I don't need it serviced, I only need 3 little screws that are probably worth $.50 that never should have fallen out in the first place. If you buy an Invicta, pray that you'll never need it serviced! |

| As others have said, this is a big, big watch--the crystal, too, is large and protrudes outward. The face is very interesting and artistic, and would probably be a hassle to wear with long sleeves. It is also, a heavy sucker. That having been said, it is a show stopper and definitely a one of a kind watch for somebody looking for something that is unique. |
The big curved crystal actually is the biggest negative point for the watch
|
| Review Date: August 10, 2009 |
| Reviewer: 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. |
Huge Watch

| This watch would be perfect if it was half the size. When I opened the box I though; " this is the ugliest and biggest watch I have ever seen." This watch looked like a Buzz Lightyear gadget or something. |
A wonderfully designed watch but poor build quality
|
| Review Date: February 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Patrick G. Lebon, Sydney, Australia |
A wonderful watch to look at, very comfortable on the wrist, which is surprising given the thin wrists I have. Everything with the watch was fine for the first few days however after a couple days the three time adjustment knobs became very loose and the little black rubber rings split... very disappointing.
The watch is great in terms of its looks and heft, however the poor build quality leaves a bad taste in my mouth. |
Nice watch

| Nice watch. I wish you could find it with a sapphire crystal . The only other complaint I have is if you are very active and want to wear this timepiece all the time the lorica band will smell badly very quickly. I began to wear this watch as my primary timepiece at the start of a hot summer. In less than a month the smell was like a foot on my wrist. I am going back to a steel band watch until winter. |
Great idea - poor quality control

| Reviewer: 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.

Men's Invicta Watch

| Review Date: January 8, 2008 |
| Reviewer: V. RIVERA, UCLA |
| I had priced this watch in the mall and it was about $400 so you can imagine my surprise when I found it here for $150. However, I should have known it would be a catch. The watch itself looked cool as if it were authenic. But the band brought about a bit of concern. It is clearly not the actual band that goes with the watch. The real band is a good quality leather and it snaps, not buckles. This made the watch look like a knock-off, but I could tell the timepiece itself was genuine. Be ware and use your discretion when the discount seems a little unrealistic! =) |
Nice watch...bad band
|

| Reviewer: James K. Henderson, Nashville, TN United States |
| This is a great looking watch, but the band will not stay clasped so I cannot even wear it. Invicta does not warrant the band. I am not sure what good a wrist watch is if you cannot wear it. |
bad investment

| Review Date: October 22, 2009 |
| Reviewer: 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. |
