Invicta 2877 Review By Sean
My Overall Rating:
Searching for a great looking watch? How about a watch that will also look good with anything? Then just stop researching and get the Invicta 2877 Men’s ll Collection Multi-Function Watch.
You will be able to notice the exquisite Swiss craftmanship. The round bezel is stainless steel and stationary.
A sapphire window protects the dark grey dial face and matching hands. You will enjoy the silver-tone Roman numerals and matching watch hands. There are three white chronograph sub-dials that show the date, day and a 24-hour clock. The stainless steel band completes the look and the fold-over-clasp-with-push-button will ensure that it won’t fall off your wrist.
It is elegant and very high quality. The clasp won’t pinch your arm or ever pop open. It is durable and makes a great gift.
“He is pretty picky with the watches he likes but this one seemed to fit all his specifications. So, I loved the pictures and price and took a chance. When he opened it Christmas morning he was thrilled.”
However, it tends to lose minutes weekly and this is rather inconvenient. The buttons that set the sub-dials can’t be locked and if they are hit accidentally the hand of that dial will move. The glowing hands tend not to work very well.

- Precise Swiss-quartz movement
- Durable flame-fusion crystal

- Band is prone to scratching
Invicta 2877 Customer Review:
My watch’s case back is imprinted with “SWISS PARTS MOVEMENT 316L ALL STAINLESS STEEL FLAME-FUSION CRYSTAL 50M WATER RESISTANT INVICTA NO. 2877″ and the box it comes in includes:
-an “ISA SWISS MOVEMENT Instruction Manual-Calibre 9238″ info sheet with specific instructions for setting it, as well as specific battery [Type 371-SR920SW]info
-a yellow sheet warning that changing some settings between 10PM and 6 AM can damage the mainspring and void the warranty
-a Platinum Extended [5 yr] Warranty Application [free with Amazon purchases]A few comments:
1) This is the first time I have seen a specific instruction sheet included with one of their watches, and I welcome/applaud it. Many customers have publicly asked for this, and it seems as though Invicta has responded to it. The warning on the separate yellow sheet used to be buried in earlier manuals…another welcome change.
2) I searched “ISA” online, and this is from Wikipedia: “ISA is a quartz watch movement manufacturer currently owned by the Chung nam group. The company produces watches in Switzerland and China.” So, one can infer that the movement on the 2877 is most likely a hybrid of Swiss components and Chinese assembly.
3) Invicta appears to have made at least one design change: the crystal is now “flame-fusion” instead of sapphire…and I believe the jury is still out on whether this is an improvement or not [sapphire resists scratches better than mineral, while mineral resists breakage better...and "flame-fusion" supposedly offers both]. Amazon’s Product Description/Specifications/Features all state “sapphire”…as of this writing…which may have been true previously, but not on my watch.I like the watch because:
1) It’s well built with a highly-polished stainless steel case/bracelet, which rests very nicely on my average-sized wrist; it does NOT have “INVICTA” engraved along the outside, which some people may like, as do I. [I find the engraving works better on their diver watches, but is not as well-suited for dressier watches like the 2877].
2) The graphite-gray dial is quite elegant and understated…and the white Day/Date/24 Hr-”2nd Time Zone” sub-dials have a nice appearance; the size of the numbering is a tad small, but I can read them with my reading glasses.
3) The instructions are well done, easy to follow, and work! A nice change!!

Invicta 2877 Summary:
The main attraction of this watch for most people is probably the price. The Invicta 2877 isn’t a perfect watch by any means, but it is very stylish and slick. It has a few flaws and you can read about those in other customer reviews in the link above.
But for the price it is now, it’s great value. However if you’re still not sold on it, maybe have a look at other Invicta watches or possibly a Tissot if your interested.
