”

The Invis Watch (short for Invisibility Watch) is the default PDA weapon for the Spy. It is an advanced cloaking device disguised as a digital watch with a wooden face and a segmented silver wristband.

Pressing alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) with any weapon active causes the Spy to cloak, becoming completely invisible to enemies and allowing him to infiltrate enemy territory and stalk targets without being seen. The Spy cannot attack or place Sappers while cloaked, but is still able to use the Disguise Kit. While cloaked, the Spy takes 20% less damage from all sources. In addition, status effects (e.g.: Jarate, bleed, afterburn) expire 50% faster on cloaked players.

Cloaking is not instantaneous; it takes around 1 second for the Spy to fully fade from view. Decloaking takes approximately 2 seconds, and the player must wait until they are fully decloaked before being able to attack or place a Sapper. In addition, if the Spy takes any damage while cloaked, or bumps into an enemy player, then his cloak momentarily "flickers" and is visible to enemy players. Likewise, cloaking creates a brief whooshing noise while cloaking, and a longer whooshing noise while uncloaking.

The Invis Watch has a limited battery life, indicated by a meter on the HUD as well as a bright blue bar on the watch itself. The cloak meter automatically recharges when not in use. In addition, the cloak meter can be recharged with ammo boxes, resupply cabinets, and Dispensers, even when the user is currently cloaked. Dispensers can refill the cloak meter fast enough to keep the Spy cloaked indefinitely; while a level 1 Dispenser simply stops the normal energy loss while cloaked, level 2 and 3 Dispensers slowly recharge the cloak meter. Additionally, scoring a hit with L'Etranger replenishes 15% of the cloak meter, and successfully killing an enemy with the Big Earner replenishes 30%.

While cloaked, allies can still see the Spy in the form of a translucent silhouette. However, Medi Gun beams do not lock on to cloaked Spies.
