I got mine Monday and it looks great however I had to call Aragon Tuesday morning for a return because it is D.O.A. And yes I understand how automatic movements work, I only have about 45 of them. I was at home when FedEx delivered it and on boxed it right afterwards. Before removing any protective wrappings other than the one on the dial I noticed that the second hand was not moving. Every Aragon and Android that I own are always running even after staring at them for 5 seconds which is great because the Invicta automatics normally don't until you wind them.
Well anyway I said to myself it just needs winding so I proceed to wind it, but after 28 or so the second hand was still not moving. So I gave it a total of 40+ and again nothing. I decided to set the time and that's when the second hand began to move but only because I was turning the crown. In other words where as when you're turning the crown to set the watch and both the hour and minute hand only move, the second hand was turning or moving along at the same pace as the hour and minute hands. When I stopped the time setting process the second hand stopped as well and again did not move or began to run.
So the young lady that I spoke with at Aragon said that she was shocked to hear this and all watches are checked prior to shipping. So anyway I'm waiting on a return label. After WELL over 50 Android and Aragon Automatic timepieces I can't ever recall having a problem with one their timepieces, which is more that I can say for Invicta as I have had to return about 8 of the years with various issues that came right out of the box.
