My new watch arrived today

[GasX]

Invicta 8926

Already had it sized to my wrist and it is by far the nicest watch I have ever owned. Thanks to Don Vito for recommending it...

Question for all metal watch band owners: How much does your watch move around on your wrist?

I got it from Fractionprice.com for $150 all-in with a pair of nice polarized sunglasses thrown in...

The watch is basically a knock-off designwise of the venerable Rolex Submariner. There was a lawsuit and they changed the design on the bezel. I got the "old bezel" version. It costs more because it has become a bit of a collector's item.

Question. What the hell is Invicta? All the Italians in Toronto seem to wear the Invicta backpacks (or at least kids who have Italian appearance). I'm guessing its an Italian-pride thing?

my watch does not move around much at all. i had it sized tighter because when it was looser, it would always fall down to the bend in my wrist and any bending of my wrist would put a lot of pressure on it.

supposedly, the "fashionable" way to wear it is looser. of course, i'm over 30 so i don't do things for trendiness anymore

Invicta is an odd watch company. They make some really bad watches and some pretty nice ones. They get a lot of hate because what got them famous was the fact that they made replica/fake versions of other watches. For example, I am sure everyone recognizes that the OP's watch looks very similar to a Rolex. The thing is, Invicta never tries to sell it off as a Rolex, so in some people's eyes it's more respectable.

There's always a constant struggle with watch afficianado's and Invicta. Some people see it as a good value brand. Others see it as trash. There are some that have $3000 watches that buy Invictas so they can work on their cars or go surfing, without worrying about damaging anything. Then there are people who would never touch Invicta with a 50 foot pole.

mines doesnt move around that much. its a little loose though, so if i wiggled my wrist, it would drop down to my hand. i only do that though when i want to see what time it is, and also subconsciously, show off a lil bit.

Question for all metal watch band owners: How much does your watch move around on your wrist?

I own two Seiko watches...I can slide both watches about an 1 to 1.5 inches back and forth on my wrist. I would tighten them up a little, but 1 link shorter grows very uncomfortable for me.

Just got my first Seiko watch for graduation. It doesn't have the gay green strap as some of the pictures show, I got mine with the titanium wrist band.

about 2" of leeway, I hate having it tight.
