Invicta Watches?

[luckyluchiano]

couldn't find the Watch thread, and I didn't think this was high end enough to be in the jewelry thread, but whats the story on these watches? I was doing research and they have some decent looking stuff for good prices, but supposedly they just copy Rolex and other high end designs. 
Any of you guys have personal experience with them?

That's pretty much it.

It's what a lot of these affordable brands (Invicta, Oniss, Adee Kay, Swiss Legend, Aqua Swiss, Seapro, Oceanaut etc.) do.

They provide the similar look at an affordable price.

Invicta is a popular brand. I know they have specials on QVC & Shop NBC.

And we get a lot of Invicta requests at my job (we cater to UK + European market).

If i'm going to buy a cheap watch, I don't want it to look like a less expensive version of something else.

I want it to be aesthetically uniquely cheap.

Their prices are least overly inflated. Their MSRPs are always like 80% higher than the actual price they sell for. Jus check amazon.

Invicta is overpriced garbage.  They are always advertised at some ridiculous percentage off the MSRP. [h2]INVICTA 1518   - Invicta Reserve Venom II Chronograph Black Dial With Stainless Steel Accents[/h2][h3]$399.99
ON SALE NOW
[/h3]
List: $2495.00

You Save: 83%

A stainless steel watch with a quartz movement wll never be worth $2500.  If you want a decent watch for a reasonable price, Tissot and Hamilton are two good brands to start with.  Jomashop.com seems to have good sale prices.  Below are two of my favorite watches right now.

If you know someone who knows something about watches, unless you get an Omega or Rolex you're not going to get any props.  However, I wear a $50 Invicta and get compliments on it all the time.  Half the time people can't see the logo anyways, so unless they're looking for the brand to judge you don't worry about it.

Shark Stores is a daily deal site that specializes in Invicta and other low/medium prices timepieces.

Forgot to post my watch - Tudor Prince Date-Day.  Tudor is a sub-brand of Rolex that isn't currently sold in the United States.

OP have you considered Bulova/Accutron or Seiko watches?

Reputable brands that wont break the bank.

What kind of styles were you looking into?

 

[rashi]

My wife bought me a Bulova Marine Star. Nice piece.

Rocking my rose gold invicta right now. Compliments come from everywhere when I rock it. Hell of a timepiece

 

[thunderchunk69]

I don't care too much for labels.
but the logo + box look too much like breitling for my taste
it's bang bang imo

Oh my, that is a nice watch. Looks like I found my first watch purchase. 

 

[cs02132]

I have a gold and blue one from like 8 years ago my mom bought for me from a home shopping show

 

[TheGodFresco]

You should look into citizen.

DO NOT DO IT!

I copped one, thinking it was a good lookin cheap watch...

I was cleaning the bottom shelf of my bedside table, and it dropped approximately 25cm onto the floor (like 4 months after getting it brand new)...and the hands came off...smh

I'll never buy another one again...

Guys warned me in the watch thread...and I didn't take listen...

I suggest you don't be like me....

 

[jewseejay]

DO IT!

dont listen to eiddy... sry bro

u dropped ur watch.. most will break somewhere from a drop on a hard surface... had both my invictas over a year now... both get mad compliments and paid combined 100 bucks.

great work watches

 

[kwh3]

I've had the hands on my watch fall of from regular use. I'd stay away from Invicta and look for other watches for the same price.

 

[oh you mad]

you gonna finance it?

 

[buc em]

Somehow they got mad popular recently, I just got one as a gift for Christmas this past year.

 

[romeo0o]

it's a decent watch imo.

i had an invicta lupah back in high school. had compliments on it everywhere i went.

pretty good buy for $100 range.
