Are Invicta watches worth a crap?
They are throw away watches. If they break, nobody will service them, and if by chance you find someone who will, the parts are expensive as frick and you'll be waiting a long time to get them. Don't waste your money
I have found several I like. I bought a stainless black face diver that looked great. Lee Michaels has removed pins and links routinely over the 5+ years I've owned it at no charge for me.
They also stand by their warranty as well. Zales sells Invicta and services them via their warranty which they stand behind. I've also mailed in another large diameter (52mm+) diver they have for warranty work and the eurethane strap was replaced after wearing thin.
In other words, I have first hand evidence and experience of utilizing their warranty on multiple watches using multiple warranty service methods that directly refute what you're saying. Can you provide any first hand examples to back up what you're claiming here?
Look I'm not here to tell you they're Tag or anything approaching the sort, but they are well priced as decent watches with a warranty that they stand behind (if you don't go for some ostentatious number). They're an excellent value as long as you don't go trying to brag about them at a bar like they're Rolexes or some shite.

Yeah my husband has several of them. He buys them cause he likes them....not cause he is trying to brag about them. He really loves the large faced watches and invicta has a bunch of them.

Oh wow, they took out a pin and replaced a strap. Why couldn't you do that yourself?

So your answer is no, you don't have any experience with that? Figured as much but I did want to give you the opportunity.
They is not Invicta. They is Lee Michaels. They sized me based on my own request while I was there shopping for my wife. No warranty needed. Did it just because and would not let me pay. Did not buy there obviously. But they serviced the watch. At no cost. Again this basically refutes what you said. Can you disagree with this example, or the others where other retailers and their warranty department actually worked like a charm?
Or do you want to ask me questions that have nothing to do with the point you made that isn't true in any way based on my experience?
Invicta=/=Rolex. But your post=/=reality, and you don't seem to be able to provide any firsthand experience to back up what you said. Are you interested in continuing to try and change the subject or minimizing the fact that you're all wet, or can we just leave this here and let the thread continue forward without your butthurt flaring up in another response bro?

I'm not seeing how sizing a watch = servicing it.
I wouldn't buy a shitty watch, so I haven't ever owned one. Maybe it is different now and in New Orleans. I have two buddies who owned 4 between them, and the repair parts were more expensive than the watch on three occasions, and finding a place to service them was also a PITA. Three of the four eventually got thrown in the trash, and the other quit working, so idk what became if it.
I know this because I was very good friends with both guys and I would rag on them for wearing broken watches out to the bar

They look pretty good and they tell you what time it is. Not really much more you can ask for.

I was looking for a decent looking dress watch for less without breaking the bank. I have Seiko Monster that I wear everyday, but its a little bulky with suits.
I actually read some good views on Invicta, was thinking of giving a shot.

Been thru 2 of em. Both spontaneously exploded into a million pcs for no reason. I fixed the first one and it did it again.
I just sucked it up and bought a nice Seiko. FWIW I have a Wenger I bought from academy a few years ago that is a great all purpose watch and durable.

So, is it inferior to my Seiko? Where does it rank?
Do they feel cheap?

Look at Hamilton for the best price you'll get on a nice dress watch with a real automatic movement.
Tissot is also a good option.

The invicta is definitley inferior to the seiko IMO. Both my invictas (gifts) have been busts. I love my Seiko. I think the Wenger is better than invicta too. I spend time on jobsites so that i my "field" watch. I also wear it hunting or anywhere my wrist is at wrisk
Edit: My invictas always felt very cheap. pins loose and the brackets that attach the band to the face was always very loose. Maybe I just got two lemons. They look Great I just dont think they are good quality.

Yeah it's way below a seiko
Posted on 2/19/15 at 7:36 am to CtotheVrzrbck
I wouldn't wear those watches, but it doesn't bother me when people do. Get what you like.
Posted on 2/19/15 at 7:40 am to CtotheVrzrbck
I personally wouldn't waste my money. Get a seiko or timex for that price.
Posted on 2/19/15 at 7:42 am to CtotheVrzrbck
Invicta's don't go on sale, they stay on sale. $60 is the retail. They got me once also. I'm glad they did, because it got me into watches. I still wear my Invicta every once in a while if Im going to false river or something like that.

What do you think is a decent watch in the under 1000 range?
Posted on 2/19/15 at 7:47 am to SouthOfSouth
I know Invicta is on the list of OT-trashy but I have a couple and I get compliments on them all the time and asked what kind of watch it is. Of course I always chuckle and say "oh, it's just an Invicta" because watch lovers will make a face like they just smelled dog shite when you say the brand.
Here's my advice: if you like how it looks, buy it. I haven't had a problem with any of them.
