The price was very good considering the quality of the watch. It was a little bigger than I thought, but still very attractive. The two smaller dials that show dates, etc. are very hard to read.
Beautiful watch... July 4, 2006

Pro - This watch is very nice looking. It has a sapphire crystal which is very nice and the isa movement will keep accurate time for years to come.
Con - The clasp looks good but feels very cheap. The stamped bracket feels very weak.
Over all a great looking watch with slight flaws but for the money it can't be beat.
Nice watch, but it has an entirely inadequate product manual June 7, 2006

This is my second Invicta watch, and I think this one looks and feels very impressive. The bracelet has a very nice heft to it, and the watch face is a beautiful dark blue color which is offset by the smooth stainless bezel. I think it looks and feels as if it should cost 2 to 3 times as much as I paid for it.
Now for the wretched manual. Invicta, in an apparent cost-cutting move, has decided to have a one-size-fits-all product manual. So everything from simple time-only watches, to time and date, to time and day and date, to chronograph, to moon-phase etc. watches all get the same manual. I suppose this might be forgiveable if the instructions were well-outlined,detailed, and comprehensive. Regrettably, this is not the case.
So how hard can it be to use a watch, you ask? Well, here's the thing... The 2876 has the main dial, and three tiny dials on the lower part of the face. The time of day is obviously set by pulling on the crown and turning the hands - like normal. The top button on the right side depresses to advance the day of the month by one and the bottom button advances the 24 hour hand in the center position (there is no additional functionality beyond simple setting for either the top or bottom buttons). So how do you set the third dial on the left? The manual shows some watches in which the crown pulls out two "stops" - but that isn't the case with this one. The manual shows that the third tiny watch dial is often controlled by a third button on the left side of the watch. No such button on this watch.
I went to the Invicta watch site to try to find a specific manual for this watch. No such manual exists (nor do any manuals appear on the site from what I could tell). No e-mail address for customer support, either (though there is an 800 number).
By sheer chance, I advanced the watch using the center crown by twenty-four hours, and it clicked to the next day of the week on the third crown. Nowhere in the manual was this mentioned at all. I suppose it might be common sense, but I would think that the 24 hour dial might be a better candidate to coordiniate with the main clock hands than the day of the week (freeing up the bottom button to advance day of the week instead).
Now that I've figured out how to set it, I'm quite happy with the watch. If they had included adequate instructions, I would gladly have given it 5 of 5 for a watch in its price range.
