Product Description
Aptly named, the Regent watch from Ingersoll immediately grants any wrist a distinguished aura. Sporting a stainless steel case with a hypnotically textured dial, it exhibits an elevated aesthetic without busyness Read More
The usual criticism: this watch uses a Miyota 820A, which is a variant of the Miyota 8215, neither of which HACK (allow one to momentarily stop the second to accurately set the time).
If that doesn't matter to you, you will get an otherwise decent watch that tells time, comes on a better than expected leather strap with a deployant clasp (a little fiddly to work with until you get the hang of it, then easy to use), a box that probably cost more than the movement, and has definitely contributed to our planet's deforestation crisis, and that I guarantee you will never find a good secondary usefor, an utterly useless steel authenticity card (pah-lease, as if someone is out there counterfeiting Ingersolls?!), and an equally useless, phonebook sized instruction manual printed in every language spoken on the planet since the dawn of creation.
My recommendation: sure, what the hell--everyone needs a watch they ultimately toss in a drawer and very seldom if ever wear again--right?
JojosenBecause the Ingersoll brand fell under the Invicta watch group umbrella. If you like clown sized watches, Invicta is "the master", bragging about their big, heavy, clumsy watches like they really are collectables..
If you ever find that site, post the link!
Meantime, for the most part, once you've found a watch you like, it's easy to compare prices with a quick Google search. There are exceptions: high-end, ultra-crazy priced watches, and micro brand watches. I don't like the first because I can't afford six-figure watches. I avoid the second group (micro brands) because they're generally only available from one source at one price--no deals to be had that way.
Here's a good tip: check out Heimdallr.com--I bought several of their watches (mainly divers) and I consider them all Great Deals.
I assume you occasionally hang out on Chrono24? It's a good place to get an idea of what's available and what the market is asking/paying for a given watch.
two that come to mind: jomashop and https://www.gnomonwatches.com (an AD for quite a few brands sold at great prices, but not the cheap brands). lots more if I thought a bit about it... amazingly, you can also find good prices on Amazon but look at camel-camel-camel to find what's a good price there.
Finally a mens watch on Drop large enough to not look as though I’m wearing a children’s or ladies timepiece.
For all the wingers....perhaps try working those tyrannosaurus rex forearms out every now and then.
Another day, another Ingersoll. Does Ingersoll actually sell watches anywhere other than Drop? Or does Drop have some type of ownership stake in Ingersoll?

You could spend $100 on this, or less than $100 on any of the watches in the picture below, none of which are larger than 44mm.
This one? It’s a Seiko 5, the 37mm version, but it’s also available in 42mm. It’s the first automatic watch I (and many many others) ever bought. It has a Seiko 7s26, which does not hand wind or hack (stop seconds) just like the mayoral movement in this ingersoll. Mineral crystal, 50m water resistance, and fantastic Seiko lume. General price for these is around $70 on amazon, joma, etc but if you do some searching and/or use coupon codes, you get it for as low as I did ($55 using a discount code on jomashop). The strap it comes with is garbage, but the 18mm Barton leather strap ($22 on amazon) is great.
Not to be indelicate, but if you wear a 47 mm diameter watch, for what other "deficiencies" are you compensating? I'd feel like a Spartan in a phalanx holding up my shield, protecting my fellow warrior from "thigh to neck" (see the movie 300).
Gotta confess, I am very attracted to the dial styling, until I was drawn to the size by other comments and then noticed as well the 24 mm width for the strap. Good proportions but overall too large for my taste. The largest watch I currently have is a Xeric at 42 mm and that is borderline too large.
Come back with a 38-40 mm on a 22 mm strap, I'll buy it.
ChicagoJoe1234Thank goodness I saw your comment. I was initially very taken by the styling of the dial. I do like how it looks. I was so tempted to order it, but once I saw how you mentioned the "dinner plate" aspect and 47 mm, holy krappe! The largest watch I currently own is 42 mm Xeric, and that looks big to me. Thanks for saving me from a $99 fiasco.
