Love this watch. I also own and Minute Machine and have mostly worn it. I recently decided to pull the trigger and picked up a Titanium/White for a great deal. The watch is great. The O Engine is a interesting idea and seems to work well so far. I like that I can wear the larger Minute Machine or the Icon depending on my mood. It doesn't stand out as much as the Minute Machine but is very stylish in its own. Great for those times you may want to be more reserved in you look. It is worth it if you can still find one around as they are getting very hard to come by.

Casing: X-Metal
Dial: Blue

Just slightly smaller than the TimeBomb, the Icon offers a superb alternative for those who admire the TimeBomb but lack larger wrists. True to its bigger brother, the watch maintains the sleek, aerodynamic design, intuitive band, X-Metal fuselage, and O-Engine mechanics. In contrast, however, it lacks the "flares" on the casing of its counterpart. An excellent watch combining the best materials, workmanship, and aesthetics that one would expect from an Oakley product.

I originally got one for the Watch Vault that came with it and not so the watch... but then it caught the wife's fancy... She likes the smaller face watch for her tiny wrist and the fact that it does not need batteries is always a plus.

A great looking, discreet watch. As all Oakley watches, an eye catching thing. Like it a lot!

Recently bought the polished/black Blade watch and was really happy with it but saw an Icon on ebay and got it for a reasonable £160.

First thing i noticed was the weight difference the icon feels feather light and grabs the hairs on my arms alot less, visually the icon gives my small wrists some more height making them appear wider and looks a little more classy in design just sleek and simple.

I only wish i could have got one with a white face, The man in the corner of a busy room with a fantastic suit gets noticed.....sure, but the man in the corner of the room with a fantastic white suit gets noticed even more.

Already have a stealth time bomb and bought the icon for a song to add to my collection. I really rate the watch and it is so light and sleek after wearing the heavier bomb. The white face really is striking and the thing is really comfy to wear day to day. If you can pick one up for a good price, you wnont regret it

This is my first O watch, I wear it every day and I love it! I have a rather small wrist and it fits well. I'm not sure I could pull off an origional TB, although I want one even if I can't. It is a very reserved look, not blingy at all, but exudes style and class. I get some compliments on it, but for the most part it goes under the radar. The finish is starting to get "broken in" which adds character and is getting better with time IMO. I haven't exactly been easy on it and the crystal is holding up very well, no scratches. The longest the reserve time has lasted so far is 2.5 days, but I'm ok with that. It was torture not wearing it for 3 days just to find that out. It took a week or 2 to get used to the sound of the O-Engine as it spins on my wrist, but now I miss it when it's not there. So far this is my favorite watch I've ever owned. I tried on a Time Tank the other day and loved it (and want one really bad), but for me it loses some personality without the O-Engine.

A bit too big for my girl-like wrists and hands, but a stunning watch nonetheless. It has a more masculine look to it than the Icon Small, mainly due to the larger size of the face. I'm pretty sure I prefer the sleeker look of the Icons without the fins of their big brother - the Time Bomb. However, I'd still love to get my hands on one, but only for the right price since I probably won't ever be able to wear it. An amazing watch in every way and if I could give it more than 5 skulls, I would because of the incredible combination of design and technology. In my humble opinion, at least a few of Oakley's newer high-end watches should feature the O Engine and run on World Movement - if not all of them. Although, I don't think any of the newer model watch designs even come close to the Time Bomb and Icons.

For a long time I was convinced the Icon was better suited to my wrist than the Time Bomb. The Icon has all the charm of it's larger Time Bomb cousin, but it does look a bit "naked" once you have become accustomed to the fins of the TB. Without comparing it to the TB, the Icon is a fantastic watch with great styling, but it's just a little bit plain. All four color configurations are appealing though. If you try this on and like the way it looks, you have to pull the trigger.

serial#000226 This watch is the max, reading Ed's slim wrist revue I ran into the same problems and solved them by removing the unobtainium blobs plus a few links,recurving the locking piece and filing the inside of the first lock links to get a better fit. I haven't taken the thing off since I bought it 7 years ago.
I only give it 4 stars because the curved watch crystal is too soft and gets scratched up easily and the date is a bitch to read aside from that it is my favourite possesion, I really like how the xmetal has become worn, somewhat beaten up but tough as all hell.
Without the O Engine none of the new watches do much for me, they seem to have lost some of that innovative edge.

Case/Band: Titanium
Face: Blue

A more streamlined alternative to the famed Timebomb for those of us who can't pull off the big winged case or just want a more elegant style. Yet another Oakley item that I only started to want after it was discontinued... the whole "get it while you still can" mentality, I guess.

The titanium case and band are a nice satin silver/grey, and the deep blue face is just lovely. I was a little afraid the hidden clasp would irritate my wrist, but the edges are nicely rounded and virtually unnoticeable.

Due to my skinny wrists, I strongly considered the Icon Small, but it was not offered with a blue face, so I took a chance and got one of these without ever trying one on. It does look a little wide on me since the first links past the case do not flex very much, but taking out a couple other links to tighten up the band keeps my wrist in contact with those little Unobtainium blobs under the case, which effectively keep the watch from moving around. If I could change one thing, I would let those links flex just a little bit more to improve the fit for the small-wristed who don't want to go for the smaller version. That's the only thing keeping me from giving this five stars.

Probably the main reason I wanted one of these instead of the other discontinued styles is the O-Engine. I always get annoyed when a watch battery dies and makes you late for something, so I figured an automatic movement would be a good thing. The little window on the back of the case that shows off the mechanism is a neat little touch that certainly appeals to the engineer in me. With all the newer O watches using battery power, it only made me want one of these more.

Like the Time Bomb, a fantastic watch for sure. Really deserving the full 5 stars. My only gripe is really the slimmed down styling. The small icon for women makes sense. But the regular Icon watch here just seems to miss out on the styling features that make the T.B. so fantastic.
