Review on πŸ•°οΈ Improved Invicta Men's 9223 Speedway Collection Chronograph S Series Wristwatch by Jesus Olsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Big, thick and shiny. Looks a lot bigger than 39.5mm

The construction is solid and as usual the Invicta strap is very good too good for the price. I don't know what the actual measurements are as I can't find my calipers at the moment but this watch looks much larger than the 39.5mm listed here. It's huge and chunky, and looks even bigger than Invicta's 40mm automatic divers. And the Invicta divers were huge! They looked about the same as or larger than the Orient Ray II/Mako II 41.5mm dive watch. The lugs on this thing are too wide and square - they're 20mm on the outside, but the outside is the same as the 22 mm for other clocks. You need 7.25 inch or larger wrists if you don't like big watches. Incredible at this price, the crown and pushers are screw-down, and some users even said they took it underwater without leaking. I was expecting them to look better and sleeker, but they're made in the usual chunky, big, shiny, flashy Invicta style. The black dial is too glossy and looks plastic, the white one looks more beautiful and decent. The chrono function is a bit disappointing. The large second hand indicates standard time, while the smaller second hand moves over time. There is no second division on small dials and minutes and seconds are difficult to see. You don't see all the fast-moving hands rotating around the dials that you see on better chronographs.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Legacy model
