 Looks good, runs great. If you can overlook the details, its a keeper. June 10, 2008

The watch looks great and has a good heft to it. The look of a chronograph really sticks out from other watches, and the price is hard to beat on this one. It also seems that Amazon is being serious about the list price. When I received the watch, the band had a price sticker for $350, and you can get it here for under $120.
It doesn't get 5 stars because of small issues with the details. First, the manual is not great. It's sufficient, and you can figure everything out, but its just not well written or well organized.
The second hand started out off center. This is easy to fix though to get the alignment of all the dials to the correct starting positions.
However, the second hand does not align well with the tick marks around the watch. If you are a perfectionist, this may bother you to no end. If you never use the stopwatch feature, you may never care.
If you are buying this watch for the looks, its a good buy. It's stylish and keeps time well. If you want a proper chronograph, you may want to look elsewhere.
 Impressive watch May 20, 2008
I bought an Invicta Speedway Chronograph for a great price and have been very happy with my purchase. The watch is heavy enough to feel solid, yet not so heavy as to be a nuisance. The fit and finish is also very nice on this watch and it fits into my collection quite well. I would recommend this watch to any of my friends...
Great value. May 7, 2008
This is my second Invicta watch, and I am pleased once again. For $116 (on 6 May 08, but the price has gone up a little) this is a very handsome watch. As with all Invictas with the brushed outer and polished inner band, be careful if you wear your watch at the computer as the polished center portion is easily scratched.
As far as the actual chronograph function goes, I cannot imagine that too many people would be buying a watch like this if they were serious about timing events.
VERY nice watch! April 3, 2008

This watch is awesome for everyday use, yet goes well with a suit! Came across it by chance here on Amazon & am extremely happy (especially w/the low price)!!
Just ordered another one - with the BLUE face!
 Stylish and functional, but Not a serious chronograph March 29, 2008

Have owned the Invicta Speedway for a while. In short, it is more about style than actual functionality:
1. The hours subdial is not part of timer, it only shows the 24-hr version of the actual time. Say, if it is 9:35pm, then the hand in the hours subdial will point to 21. So it doesn't keep track of the time elapsed and there is no way you can "reset" it.
2. As usual the Invicta watch suffers from misalignment in the dial and subdials. So the minute subdial is almost useless: There is no way you can exactly tell between like 3 and 4 minute or between 12 and 13 minutes.
If you really want a chronograph combined with style, choose the Seiko Men's Tachymeter, the blue one for eye-catching, while the black one for masculine.
