This Speedway model, which was on sale briefly for less than $50, is a fine timepiece. Amazon replaced the first one I received, the only Invicta I've ever experienced with a painful factory defect; it should have failed QC but somehow, as bizarre as it seems, this was a serious issue that slipped by the factory (and me). Both the initial watch and the replacement looks great in all respects, and the things which should accompany the watch were there; the Invicta yellow tag was attached where it should be with the yellow string, with protective case and crystal clear covers, and a plastic bag slipped over the watch. After making sure the watch was clean, wiping it completely down, within a few minutes my skin reported a quite noticeable itching sensation; I moved the watch to the outside of my write, and then the sensation grew more sharp and uncomfortable. I removed the watch and ran my finger over the entire rear surfaces of the case, discovered to my amazement that the outer edge of all four case lugs (which is where you attach the spring bars and wristband) was sharp enough to cut paper. Never would have expected to see this slip through the factory QC checks yet it did, and I've never seen this with any other make of any watch ever, not even the really el-cheapo, no-name throw-aways.
Amazon sent an immediate replacement and all is well again; there are zero sharp edges and the watch is as perfect as anyone who likes a large Invicta watch still hopes for it be! Kudos as always to Amazon's great reps for handling this defect issue so quickly, I placed a note on the return so the return folks don't accidentally cut themselves; no one should have to resort to emery cloth or a special tool to grind sharp edges of any new watch. This watch really looks better than the photos submitted and is beefy as expected and with the color scheme of white hands against a black dial, it's easier to read than other Speedway or Aviator models I have; the orange outer outline on the white hour/minute hands and with the white sweep second hand, I've had no problems checking it in all conditions short of a very dark room. When I charge it with a black light for 30 seconds, the luminescence lasts several minutes, but as always, the Tritnite lume formula leaves so much to be desired. So far, the replacement watch is spot on accurate following the initial time hack. This particular silicone/rubber band is comfortable enough, though I have a black/gray/blue striped Nato band awaiting, just in case. I've found the less expensive Nato bands are just as solid and nice as the over-$20 versions, but as always, YMMV.
With Amazon as seller and fulfilling the order, what's not to like?! If these are offered again below $50, just try one, or two! What a gift for someone who likes a nice watch. I hope this info is helpful to others with their watch purchasing decisions. Full disclosure; we have received no free products and my reviews are fair and honest.

second invicta speedway 6th invicta watch
These are great watches. I sold the 1st one of this model i had that had white accent ls where this is orange to a friend after many years of reliable use and time keeping, only issue it had was one I caused, where it fell pretty far, and hard onto concrete driveway and the 24 hour subdial hand came off. Otherwise it was a very durable and reliable watch that was very accurate and good looking. This is why i decided to give this orange and grey version a try since the white and grey did great. I also have several invicta prodiver models that are still running strong after years of use. Invicta is one of my go to watch brands for this reason, they look good, are well built and on Amazon can be found for great prices like this. Do note this watch is 50mm bezel which is rather huge, so if you have a smaller or thinner wrist or do not like big faced or heavy watches this model is not a good pick for you. 50mm is the biggest I'll go. See the images I attached for reference my wrist is average width.

El reloj da la sensación o idea de ser un reloj más caro, está construido de muy buenos materiales,tiene una excelente apariencia, propia de un Seiko o Bulova que valen 5 veces mas.
Respecto a durabilidad,el reloj recién lo recibí,pero si su apariencia va de la mano de durabilidad,pues debería de tener una larga vida útil.
Es mi 5to Invicta,todos me han resultado muy bien, resistentes y duraderos .
Recomiendo comprar este reloj.
