I never thought it my wildest dreams(and some of those include midgets) that this video review would cause such an uproar on both sides of the Invicta argument. We are all entitled to our opinions and that's the beauty of UA-cam. I apologize(just trying to be civil actually) if this video review touched a nerve with the Invicta Army out there but you folks surely know that Invicta does not have the greatest reputation. Invicta has some VERY SHADY pricing techniques, hit and miss quality, durability issues and some VERY GAUDY watches. I am simply giving my opinion and if you don't like my opinion or don't agree with it, that's fine. I'm sure there are many other videos that slobber all over Invicta so feel free to watch one of those :) I just have to inform people of the FACTS and if someone can avoid buying an Invicta from watching my review that puts a smile on my face :) Thanks to Felix Culpa below! Here is the link to the Better Business Bureau's "F" rating of The Invicta Watch Company Of America: www.bbb.org/south-east-florida... Thanks again Felix!!! Hopefully now some folks will finally realize that Invicta is CRAP!
I’ve had this identical watch for over 10 years and been wearing it for every single day for work and pleasure. I get it wet and very dirty every chance I get. When the battery dies I replace it for 4$. The only thing that ever breaks on these heavy watches is the pin that holds the band to the rim of the face of the watch. It bends in time and eventually falls out due to the bow of the pin. Replace it prior breaking for 2$ and carry on. It’s a tough and durable watch for the price and looks sharp at the same time.
I have an Invicta chronograph Pro Diver. That I have used a lot and taking it swimming, it has the Seiko movement in it. It's been working just fine for me and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
i "watch" invicta watch special segments on the tv shopping channel for comedic relief. seriously. they should sell those things on infomercials and package them w the 'as seen on tv' logo on the box and hawk them along w the bacowave and slapchop. at the very least you would see they get sold right next to reverse mortgages, cpap supplies, and tax 'relief' services at 315 in the morning. no offense to baconwave and slap chop. i love bacon and hate chopping onions. am glad i did not delay and 'acted now' :)
Invicta is the pinnacle of poor taste. The only model that has any value at all, is the diver with the Nh35 automatic Seiko movement for about 100 euros. But even for 100 Euros, I would rather have a Casio Duro. It is blasphemous to call this brand Swiss.
I started collecting invictas about 5 years ago when my father gave me my first one at sixteen years old. Now at twenty one i have nine ranging from big to small. If you are interested in an invicta, look into one of their reserve collection. Take your time picking it out because you don't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong one. Some then feel obligated to try and bash a fantastic watch company over one of the cheapest watch you can buy from them.
You dont make any sense. You purchased the watch knowing the info and then you bash it? Most of your complaints are unwarranted assumptions. Your ranting about a watch that cost less than $100. Get real
Your complaints about the features of this watch seem baseless. For the price range of this watch most other watches lack the same features and/or will not have a Swiss movement. You need to compare the same fruits.
I have a Seiko Solar Diver Chronograph which I have snorkeled with in the ocean. It has screw down pushers and crown, solar powered, and a working chronograph! Why do people waste their money on stuff like this when you can get a real chronograph diver for under $200?!
As always you have to be clever and bright and only buy things which deserve to be buyed. I bought an Invicta 741 and it cost me under 400 Dollars (bought in USA for Germany) AND IT HAS A SEIKO 8R28 CALIBRE in it (SII NE78A). There is crap and there are jewels - I found a jewel and reacted quickly.
Of course you understood but you're pretending not to because you feel foolish for wasting your money on what you thought was a "jewel". You're not "clever" for buying an Invicta, you're simply stupid :( When I said you're a "sucker" that had nothing to do with being gay...and you know this. It's a colloquialism for meaning you got fooled, tricked and taken advantage of for your lack of watch knowledge. So...I think you're a "sucker" for buying a piece of shit watch and I didn't try my luck with you, idiots like you are easily defeated. Don't worry there are many other "suckers" like you out there. Have a great day SUCKER!
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS Sorry, your text is too long for me. I can barely read, you know. That is the reason I bought my Invicta. I had to read only 8R28a 😁 Now enlighten other people about Invicta. I am getting bored...
There are two kinds of invictas. The really inexpensive ones like the pro diver that can have poor quality and there are the newer models like the Zeus Bolt, venom, and subaqua noma 3 that are all amazing watches.
If they're using Seiko movements and other higher quality movements in some of their watches, what makes them shit? Is it because it doesn't say Tag Heuer or Seiko on it that makes them shit? I think most of these brands have people fooled. I'm not spending 2k on a Tag that has the same Seiko movement and is assembled in Hong Kong. Right now I have a $450 citizen sitting on my desk as a fucking paper weight because the piece of shit movement went tits-up. I own quite a few watches and every brand at this level has shit and good quality levels. Yes, even Invicta. The Swiss and Japanese are selling movements to any watch company now.
Interesting video review Scott! I have many different brands in my herd of watches and I am actually very happy with the Invicta examples I own. Style aside, which is up to individual's personal taste, I find Invicta to offer something for everyone's budget, style, and taste. Thank you for your channel which I find very useful, informative, and last but not least, highly entertaining. Seasons Best!👍
Invicta's are gateway watches IMO. They are meant to be cheap, until owners and collectors can eventually afford the higher end watches (Thats at least how I see them). I own a few that tailor very well to my preferences in what I am looking for in a watch and have served me ZERO issues in the past 5-6 years since I have started my collection of both invicta's and non-invicatas. It's a bit discouraging that this video is called a "review". While you did briefly recite the specs, the title serves no purpose to the actual watch reviewed, and just had a negative connotation the entire video. After reading responses the reviewer has left others who disagree with him, I am expecting something similar here, but like my father always said - "To each his own and provolone", and appreciate the video none the less.
I own various watches.A couple of Seiko astron gps's , a Breitling Navtimer•Bentley and Superocean,Omega sea masters•Citizen Eco-Drives and yes Invictas, a couple of Pro divers, Grand divers and some automatic Zues Bolts.Everyones always telling me , why are you still wearing a watch, you can get the time off your smartphone now.... But I've always loved wearing watches.Now let me tell you, the Invictas aren't my favorite watch BUT there a really nice watch for there price points and they are in fact well made despite what people say.People call invicta watches COPIES of other brands of watches, but you know what, copyrights run out eventually and the invicta company can make any type of watch they wish.So who cares what the haters out there say about them.I along with a lot of others like the Invictas aswell ......
I have a range of watches, from TAG 600m Aquamaster / Omega Aqua Terra to $100 invicta's. You just need to choose way more carefully. I wouldnt have chosen the one you reviewed, its horrible but at sub basement price on Amazon, it tells time and thats all these things do. Its just some do it better than others!
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS ~ I think i just got Buzzingga'ed! Glad you like the shave videos brother... Come join facebook.com/groups/WristCheck/ and help grow your community!
So you bought the cheaper little brother model from Costco. Ya I know because I have the better model that cost more and actually has a screw down crown and pushers. I did pick this one up for a cheap version for work. I did return the one like your review because I realized it was made to look like it was better. Remember your review to knock the brand started biased and you picked a cheap model. You also picked a large case model but they have smaller. I do recommend buying from Costco because there are some problem models and costco is pretty much hassle free. You are right about the MSRP. The only place that I have found going by that tag price is the Invicta Flagship Store. Your review was as honest and useful as the crappy lower model you picked to bash with. Invicta does have its issues just like most other brands and this review.
Lmao...because I disagree with you I'm not smart? Now that's a dumb comment! Just another SJW loser that got his/her feelings hurt when they realize that the watch on their wrist is actually a piece of shit laughed at by real watch enthusiasts...lmao. Take care snowflake!
This is my favorite part Roy Miller...clicking the "block" button for douchebags that think ANY Invicta is a good watch(they're all cheaply produced crap with hyper-inflated prices)and that also has some weird affinity for Sponge Bob videos...creepy. Take care creepy douchebag!...lmao.
So because it was a "cheaper" model I should expect a lot less? ALL INVICTAS are garbage no matter which shitty model you buy. So by your logic if I buy an Accord instead of an Acura(both made by Honda) I should fully expect the Accord to be a piece of shit? Your comment was a textbook case of being butthurt now that you realize that $300.00 hunk of junk on your wrist is really worth about $20.00 and real watch enthusiasts are laughing at your utter lack of knowledge about watches...lol.
He’s got one on his wrist....can’t blame him for wanting to convince himself he didn’t get completely and totally ripped off. Part that bugs me is how many older, vulnerable people invicta sell watches to cause the home shopping network for every watch says its originally 1,500 bucks, but just for today, they’re selling it for 80. Just a damn joke man. Great video. This brand should be exposed for those pathetic marketing practices
Well I went from a video that one loves them to one that hates them, so it's 50/50 so far, but I just love my regular casio g-shock that's been through hell and back and still works great , guess I better just stick with Casio for now til further review.
TheAirheaded1 had a Swiss made Invicta, didn't last more than 5 months. the day of the watch became loose, contacted them still no reply. going to stick to g shock
I own about a dozen watches. None cost over $500 bucks. One is an Invicta monster 63mm Reserve Grand Octane that tends to weigh me down on one side so I walk in semicircles. I paid 5% Retail. Everyone goes crazy over that watch. Where did you get it? How much was it? Can I try it on? No they arent "bonafide watch collectors" and "timepiece connoiseurs". They are just regular everyday people. And I'd much rather hang with them then a bunch of stuck up condescending snobs that think a stupid watch makes you somehow better or worse for owning it. Face it, watches are obsolete. We only wear them for enjoyment. So what difference could it possibly make. None. Get over yourself. When my wristweight eventually breaks, I'll sink it in the canal and use it to tie off my boat.
This is going to be really fun making you look like the Invicta wearing, watch novice, that I'm sure you are. Firstly, if you own about a dozen watches you obviously don't think they're "obsolete". Anyone that does pay over $500.00 for a watch isn't a snob. It just means that either they wanted and/or had the money to pay more for a better watch or spent $500.00 and had no idea what they were buying...you would fall into the latter category I'm sure. Anyone that goes "crazy" over any Invicta knows nothing about watches. I wonder why Invicta has a "F" RATING from the Better Business Bureau? I wonder why their price tags normally are in the high hundreds ($700-$1400) but usually sell for less than $200.00(and that's even WAY more than their worth). Regular, everyday people can still afford a MUCH better watch for the same price as you would pay for ANY Invicta. Here's one of my favorite things you said "And I'd much rather hang with them then a bunch of stuck up condescending snobs that think a stupid watch makes you somehow better or worse for owning it" Owning an Invicta and being proud of it doesn't mean you're a bad person or that someone that wears a much better watch for the money(which is just about ANY OTHER BRAND out there) is better than you. It just means you don't KNOW SHIT about watches and/or you're willing to buy something without doing research on it first. Of course we only wear watches for enjoyment as evidence again of the fact that you have twelve of them. But If I am going to wear a watch on my wrist I want to make sure I spent my money WISELY and not on just a piece of MALE FASHION jewelry where no engineering went into making the watch good/accurate/reliable but they instead worried much more about the watch's looks and fake gold and chrome plating. That's what Invicta watches are...HUGE, GAUDY, CHEAPLY MADE, INACCURATE, UNRELIABLE, DOUCHEBAG MAGNETS. So if you can act like people that really care about watches for more than their looks and are willing to spend more for a quality timepiece are "snobs" I can tell you to get over yourself as well. And if none of this made a difference in the first place, according to you, why did you comment in the first place? Oh and who gives a shit if you have a boat? That was your not so subtle way of trying to brag. I'm sure it's a little 14' dinghy with an electric motor on the back anyway...lol.
I have a Litespeed carbon fiber bike that cost as much as a Rolex. I also have a Wal-Mart "Fat tire " bike that was on sale for 80 bucks. I ride both. What difference does it make to you what I choose to have? Sure I'd love to have Patek Supercomplication, but I'd be afraid to take it out of the safety deposit box. I appreciate nice things, Bruno Magli shoes, Armani super 150 suits, Ferragammo Ties. Zegna shirts. But I also have a linen Banana Republic suit that was $125, that I love. And some Vans sneakers that I wear everywear. I am as we speak ,looking at nicer watches. I thought maybe a Seiko Astron. My remark about "watch snobs" was only directed at that specific subset of watch collectors. It should not have insulted anyone , unless they consider themselves to be as I described. I never speak an insult directly at anyone. If you chose to include yourself, that is not on me. I did not mean to give any impression of wealth. Far from it. I save my money by being frugal. I am on a fixed income. I usually take about 4-6 weeks to research a product before I buy. My Invicta had a ridiculous MSRP of $2500.00 I had read a person should not pay over 10% retail. That would be $250.00 I won an auction from "Wonderdealspot" on EBay for $137.00 I am pleased with my purchase. I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of it. I'm not drivin to buy things unless they appeal to me. Good Luck with your nice watches.
Funny story , I have a hobby that I really indulged in. I sold a older camper and a golf cart , and bought something " professional grade" So there's a guy watching me and he comes over, because he's the "expert" and proceeds to tell me I'm too lavish. I should have bought way cheaper like he did. I guess everyone has different likes and dislikes.
I have to thank you...I nearly got dazzled by this at Costco yesterday but thought I'd youtube this to get an honest impression....so yah, u just saved me $165
Well, I bought the INVICTA'S. Two for gifts (Hydromax, and Coalition Forces) and one for myself (Scuba, Master Calendar), about 4 months ago. So far, I have no complaints. Although, I must say; the Coalition Forces, is a monster watch. But my brother, who's former U.S. ARMY, really thinks it's cool. I guess, maybe in a year, I'll know if any of them survived. :-D
Okay, I understand your points, and agree with you on most of them. The main things you have to understand about Invicta, is 1) Perceived value. 2) All about style over function.. that out of the way, I own a few Invictas.. but I own the "Reserve" level pieces.. and yes, those actually are made with quality in mind.. anything that doesn't have that Reserve stamp, I'd also highly question it! Love your reviews, and You've earned a subscriber from me with your brutal honesty.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS My favorite is the Invicta Specialty Reserve 1st Gen. The main reason to love that one is the case.. The precision that went into making it is honestly pretty astounding. Not simple to do by any means by ANY company. By the way, I can't give you a valid reason why they included an exposed case back on this diver you reviewed.. I completely agree it was a VERY dumb idea on Invictas behalf.. Lol.. Oh well, to each his/her own.. What I always say to everyone.. If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT!! Lol..
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Yes, this one is garbage.. All for show.. Just something that looks pretty.. But like you said.. Not truly functional for the claims.
I understand your gripes with Invicta. I for one own a couple of Invicta's, one a 8932 and the other the 8928 automatic with a Seiko NH35A movement inside. The 8928 I completely love and luckily enough both watches have been going great so far!
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS : I think the 8928 working isn't really a miracle since it comes with a Seiko NH35 movement inside which is a well proven workhorse. :)
The fanboys saying things like "Reserve models are top of the line" are so off-base it's laughable. Out of 5 or so Invictas I've owned in the past, only one (SAN III) was without QC issues or defects. These included Reserve models, Grand Divers, and a Swiss Made SW500 auto. Lume dots falling off bezels, clasp pins falling out, Flame Fusion aka glorified window glass scratching with light bumps, straps tearing/disintegrating, the list is endless and well-documented. These are not "one-offs" or the exceptions to the rule, folks. These are serious and widespread issues with Invicta's outsourced manufacturers both in East Asia and in Switzerland. Invicta is NOT a "watchmaker"; they design cases and straps, then outsource the manufacturing to the lowest bidder who then have their likely unskilled laborers install other companies' movements inside them. This is why when you have a warranty issue, it can take 3 months to a year to get your watch back even though Invicta is based in Florida. They charge $28 because watches are sent overseas to aforementioned outsourced factories for repair. Invicta makes NOTHING in-house other than their designs. I refuse to support a company that does not stand behind their products. If you like their designs and are not put off by their snake-oil sales pitches and inflated MSRP's, by all means go for it. I'll stick with REAL watch brands that make quality affordable products like Seiko, CItizen, or Tissot.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Never even seen this before. Possibly my son as he uses this youtube account and owns an Invicta, despite having being warned. I don't wear 50mm+ watches, and this guy has hub caps strapped to his wrist.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Years ago I tried to be open-minded about the brand despite being generally aware of their reputation. The inflated MSRP gripe is actually the least of their faults. Their shoddy quality control and AWFUL after-sale customer service are the real problems. Why spend money on a watch at any price when you know in advance that the company won't stand behind it? I had a strap tear clean through the buckle on a reserve model 1 month in after being lightly bumped, but their "5-year Reserve warranty" only covers the movement lol.
I got one for Christmas and also got a watch repair kit for resizing the linkage and when I did I noticed the pin came out but also there is a very very small pin that you would've noticed that fell out besides the pin and when your putting it all back together the pin still won't stay in to hold the bracelet in place team pin falls out THANK YOU FOR LETTING ALL THOSE OTHERS KNOW BUYER BE AWARE!
+bbq10 The little thing that fell out in addition to the pin is the barrel. The barrel commonly sits in the middle of the link or in some brands the end of the link and holds the pin in place when you slide it in.
I have had an Invicta 8928 OB two tone for about 5 years. It has a Japanese auto mvmt, display back, screw down crown with quick set date and reverse hacking. It has been a great watch so far, but I agree Invictas seem to be going the route of big, ugly and gaudy. If you can get an older model they are cheap and reliable, but Orient or Vostok are better alternatives.
+John Donnelly I also have an 8928 and like it. It is 40 mm wide on the bezel, is comfortable, has a good japanese movement, a screw down crown, and is no more gaudy than a Rolex.
How is my thumbnail clickbait there champ?...lol. These are garbage watches and I said the same thing in the review. I hate dumb comments like yours as well.
I've heard mixed reviews about Invictas but to give them some credit, I have the 40mm automatic pro diver which copies the Rolex Submariner and mine is great for an $80 dollar watch. It has a screw down crown, cyclops and rubber strap. The materials and finish are great with a solid stainless steel case and see through case back. I've used it at least 50 times to go surfing in the ocean, taken tumbles in 15 foot waves and is definitely waterproof. Although it is a beautiful watch, I put it next to my friends Rolex GMT Master and you can see why their $8000 and up. It blows it out of the water.
You have to pick your invicta watches carefully, their products come at a price range from $70 china/japan/thailand made watches to thousand dollar swiss made watches. But I wouldn't recommend buying it anyways, I'd rather get a tag heuer or maybe even a seiko.
I received mine today from Amazon $ 65.00, this is the 40 mm limited edition model.screw down crown & pushers. Solid case back , not that stupid exhibition case back . lume isn't that great, but invicta is notorious for this. 200 meters water resistance, flame fusion crystal. The best feature on this watch is the bracelet , reminds me of a engineer bracelet. BTW my watch is 009/999... I think it is a great looking watch no matter what I paid for it! I don't think you can find the 40 mm watch anymore, but I have seen the 50 mm case for sale on eBay & they are not limited edition runs. No screw down crown & pushers !
I have a love/hate relationship with Invicta. I love their styles and their bang for the buck, but I hate their customer service and their quality control. After years of buying and selling Invicta watches, I've learned how to manipulate the brand and the company for maximum value and satisfaction. Rule one: Don't buy their cheap watches. Rule two: Don't take their crap! Return, refuse, exchange without hesitation and don't be afraid to beat up their CS. Make sure to put the watch through its paces before the return period ends. Rule three: Bargain hunt.
Well......I just got this exact watch for Christmas. I like the thing. I am by no means an expert on watches but it suits me just fine. I know my wife got it at Costco and I am sure she took advantage of any rebates or discounts that where available. I am a little bummed that your vid is the first one I found when doing a little research on the watch ( I'm not mad bro...LOL ) I will admit it was kinda hard to listen to you with an open mind with the very watch you are bashing upon my wrist. OH well...I normally don't wear watches or any jewelry at all but on occasion I like to have a shiny chunk of metal on my wrist for the rare time when I am not in my work clothes. Also I am a larger man so the "bigness" of it fits my wrist. I guess if you are a hard core watch guy this one is not up to snuff according to the standards laid out in this review. If you are a regular guy that likes big flashy watches then this is a good buy..I will keep and proudly wear it. My wife thought enough to get it for me so I will wear it in her honor. Thanks for the review...I did learn some things about watches :)
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS LOL...I was watching your review on the Citizen Titanium when I heard the alert for your reply. I been thinking about starting a watch collection. I have a Swiss Army watch that I bought years ago but I hate the damn thing...the band keeps coming undone on me. I haven't worn it in a couple years. Any suggestions on how I can get that band to stay shut? Its a Victronix I guess..thats what it says on the bottom.
You are so correct when they first came out bout an 18k gold excursion button weren’t screwed in all fell off!!! $1000 bucks down the drain lesson learned 😢
I'll be honest I was going to buy this, but now I don't think so. I will stick to my Seiko's, Citizen time piece's when I get one. I will be getting one. I will also stick with my Casio G-Shocks by far. Great video. Keep them coming.
See, I do quite like Invicta watches, they're a bit of cheap fun but absolutely nothing you have said is untrue at all, I totally agree with all of your opinions haha, transparent case back on a quartz? no screw down on a 200+m diver watch? As a bit of gaudy fun, I love these things, anything proffesional, they're total garbage. Also they are totally scamming with the pricing.
I have a few of these and thought they were good. now I've learned my lesson, but I have only 2 that I'm keeping for their looks only and be every day wearers. I do have a "diver" one that is an automatic and I call it a time keeping hockey puck due to its chunky shiny black looks. I'll donate the rest to a thrift store.
You did. I knew your are just rambling and doing a bias review when you complaint at the beginning of the small font in the manual. All watches manuals are the same!!!
Then why did you say "Did he" if you were taking directly to me moron?...lol. All watch manuals are NOT the same dumbass. Enjoy your piece of shit Invicta ;)
I bought the watch(and then took it back of course) to show people what pieces of shit Invicta watches are and to tell them to STAY AWAY. I'm not stupid enough(like you obviously) to actually buy an Invicta and keep it...lol. You go ahead and accept an inferior product for your money...I won't.
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Dude, pretty sure I just blocked another moron from my channel...YOU...lmao. He WAS talking about me but you're obviously, and expectedly, too stupid to be able to read comments. "You did. I knew your are just rambling and doing a bias review when you complaint at the beginning of the small font in the manual. All watches manuals are the same!!!" Of course not all watch manuals are the same! I'm seeing a trend here...Invicta fan boys are absolute MORONS...lmao.
WoW! It's like wearing a brass knuckle instead of a real watch. Disgusting piece of shit!!! If our local gun rage allowed me to use these garbage as target practice, I would, but we're only allowed paper targets.
Lmao...agreed. I've tried not to hate these watches but I just can't! And funnily enough, I just took my son to the gun range for the first time about a month ago. He loved it!
I like the watch and the ugly logo is very similar to the Chrysler and Bentley logo. For the price I think it's a steal. Invicta is no where close to high end watches and can't expect to have Rolex quality at a Timex price. It's a nice watch and I would warn buyers beware of pitches that would hurt Invicta creditability and discourage consumers to keep investing in this growing brand. I have a couple of Invicta watches and had trouble with only one and I followed the shipping instructions and the issue was fixed. You get what you pay for and definitely a eye catcher. This watch gets a thumbs up.
Maybe, just maybe, the 200m water resistance is specified for the watch inside the faux pelican case. What I think is rather curious is the fact that Invicta actually uses legit movements like that Ronda and the Seiko NH-35A in that Submariner knock off. And then they go ahead and throw those movements under the bus with these crappy watches. Kind of a shame if you think about it.
thanks for this video! i plan to save up over the next few months for a watch costing < 150$ and invicta was on the list! i have heard that Sturhling also has pretty suspect quality watches. please could you give your opinion on them? as i think they look good atleast and seem to have favorable reviews on amazon.
I do not own ANY invicta watches but why so much hate towards that company?... they are fashion watches that's all. I own a Rado Diastar wiss made automatic and the crown broke and fell off twice within 3 years....the warranty expired at 2 years so I had to pay the second repair out of pocket...disappointed of my swiss made $1,000 watch
A.few days ago a friend of mind grabbed an Orient Mako on sale off Amazon, with the additional discount code I think it was $65 or something stupid like that. You can get decent autos or quartz for less than $100. Invicta's pricing tactics just seem "shady" to me and even. We know most watch MSRP's are higher than you can find online, but these guys are delusional.
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS in the review you state an eco drive in the $100 price range with these features is a much better choice... As I stated, show me one and I'll buy it, hell I'll buy three
Absolutely correct , unfortunately I own 12 watches . Six are in need of repair, cannot go in water with it . You send it in for repair it cost 58.00 and takes 3 months to get back . If they fix it at all. The rubber bracelet break and they are 250.00 to replace . I will not buy another one for sure. They are nice looking and large but that's about it. Stay away !
thank you sir, you have opened my eyes, I will refund immediately this piece of shit to Costco and look for a better orient or citizen, tacos from Mexico dude!
+Daniel “DubstepWolf” Estrada in Costco (mexico) you can find some Citizen at good prices, take a look at Seiko 5 range also. but never Invictas from costco (they're tasteless).
I have a wide range of watches and movements. Including Invicta ... If your going to go full on bash of a product. Compare apples to apples. Not a entry level Invicta to; for example mid level Eco Drives... Of course your not going to get the same level of value. No where do I see on any description of this watch anything misleading about the movement ... Swiss Parts Ronda Movement built in Thailand. Which many watch companies do... There are good Japanese quartz movements as well as Swiss made quartz movement... Swiss Parts are just that ... Clear in the description. Push comes to shove I would prefer a Swiss vs the Japanese... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... And sense of style, function and value. And personally I would not have chosen this watch for my collection. I just feel some of your facts are a bit skewed on this review... If you know what your looking for and comparing apples to apples there are many Invicta watches that will equal or surpass citizen or seiko.
I would say these aren't problems with their automatic Pro Divers. Those use Seiko's automatic mechanical movements and have screw down crowns and don't have any fake crap like this one does.
I don't really agree with you. I own 8 Invictas. All great quality and reliable. You happened to choose an inexpensive model to go HAM on. What do you expect from a $100 dollar watch? Check out the more expensive models. The Reserve stuff is top notch. You can't trash the whole brand on your opinion of "this" watch. Dude you keep taking about people who don't know about watches. But you don't look good yourself trashing a whole brand on a single buy. They have watch lines than span to several hundred dollars up to over a thousand. You picked this watch? Come on.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS see this where I think you're not really doing your viewers justice. You reviewed a bottom end watch. Unless you've been hands on with a Subaqua Noma, Bolt Zeus, Venom, etc. you really shouldn't be trashing the brand.
TheRagnarok5000 The fact that it's labeled a "bottom end" watch says more about how crap the company is, though... When you look at a reputable watch company, and see that even their lowest priced watches still go through meticulous QC and have upper craftsmanship invested into it, it screams how terrible Invicta really is. To knowingly have a "bottom end" watch and still have your logo on it.. what more can you say?
+all_mota _ I see where you're going with it. I guess as a consumer I can appreciate different levels of build quality to match price points. I se it sort of like cars. If all you can afford is the entry level car then cool. But you'll have cheap plastic interior, minimal comforts, and basic look. But if you have the money you can have something with leather seats, navigation, bigger engine, etc. People don't say Ford is a shitty car manufacturer because they offer the Fiesta.
Hi You've got to make another review on a different invicta watch! I have been reading the comments and this is so funny! Invictards really can't take any criticism :-D
I ordered an Invicta Specialty Swiss made quartz chronograph. I thought it's a great sporty looking watch being a good sized one at 48 mm black case and a red polyurethane bracelet. Anyways,I've only had it for 5 days and wore it 3 times,and to my disappointment,the second hand stopped moving at the 5 o clock spot! Evine really overhyped the Invicta watches they were pushing!
I've been buying invicta for 13 yrs now I own 15 I still have my first from 13 yrs ago still works and looks as good as new so you tell me again why there crap I wouldn't buy any other watch so stop hating on something you know nothing about
I like them for there tacky style... I consider them fashion watches. I also like seiko, casio and orient but I can't get a fun fat tacky blinged out version of those...at the end of the day it just need to keep time and look cheesy cool. But ya I don't like the one you have here.
I do not mind the pro diver from invocation that looks like the submariner mostly because I'm a fan of that style watch but unfortunately don't have 10k+ to spend on a watch :(
Bought 15 invicta watches.. I did not know that the silicone bands would just fall apart. The little hands on the mini dials on 2 of my watches just fell off. I went to the website to find a replacement band and they wanted $138. Will never buy another. I am waiting for the other 2 watches with silicone bands to fall apart. If the do it will be in the case because I won’t wear them. Never again.
Why the hell did you keep buying them. Ive owned 24 Invictas out of my 500 watch Collection. I think it's has more to do with how you treat your watches. How many times have you dropped it on a hard surface? Are you playing sports with them on? You bought 12. Why?
Ok I'm Back to defend Invicta, ( Don't know why, really) So I just bought the Invicta 50mm Hydromax Pro diver ,Japanese SII PC32 Quartz Stainless Steel NATO Leather Strap Watch model #17581 (the gold and blue) off of Evine.com for 69$ plus 9$ shipping .a total of 78 dollars. Now, I know you don't like big watches, but a lot of people do. I like a big watch cause it detracts from how ugly I am and it compensates for my little penis and makes me feel better about myself..... hmmmm " was that my inside voice?" anyways, It has a machined out rotating bezel. not painted. "AND" a screw down crown, and a helium release valve. (whatever the hell that is) all for under 80 bucks. You need to give them another chance, I think some suck feet cheese but some are decent watches for the money......luke, LUKE! YOU DON"T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE! JOIN INVICTA! And complete your training! AND YOU SHALL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN......oh wait, sorry just watched The Empire Strikes Back for the 500th time ;D
I think that like most companies, Invicta is a just greedy. I think about 95% of the watches are nothing special, but if you can get something that you think looks beautiful (not the watch in the video- it's hideous) for $100 or less, have fun with it. The MARK's are OUTRAGEOUS, but you also cannot buy watches from the Invicta website, and I have never seen one being sold at the MSRP. As for the other 5%, they do make some that aren't garbage. The challenge is finding one of the good one's at an appropriate price. As someone else commented, they haven't seen an automatic chronograph in either Citizen or Seiko (I don't remember), but they have in Invicta. if that Invicta looks good to that person and is in price range, GET IT! WATCHES ARE JUST TOYS! Beautiful, perfect toys :) I think what a lot of people love about Invicta, is that they have designs, like the Bolt Zeus, that you can't find anywhere else. When you see that watch, there will be no hesitation of knowing, that's an Invicta! Call it gaudy, but some people like that. I call it unique, and that's why I love my Invictas!
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS If you have the money, buying something strictly for looks happens in every category of product. That's why nostalgic T-shirts are always cheap quality, because you're only paying for the outside look and every manufacturer of cheap products knows that. If you're buying a $100 watch, then there's no need to worry about quality, consiering a $10,000+ price is the minimum requirement for luxury watches. I don't own a bolt zeus. I hate them. I was just offering an opinion based on my conversations with other Invicta owners.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS you're suggesting that they don't put out a single quality product for the price and I disagree. I said before that 95% or more of the brand is garbage, but there's a few diamonds in the rough. My everyday is model 20200. Nothing special, but an automatic that love the look of (I don't consider it gaudy, maybe you do), with a date window that I use everyday at work, and I bought it for about $100. It is literally the most comfortable watch I have ever worn (silicone). To me, the things I just listed make it worth the purchase. I know everyone's criteria are different, but I don't think I can find another silicone automatic with date that's brand new for (i think) $115, AND one that I like the way it looks.
Thanks for taking the time to shed light on the truth. I’ve heard some have collections of sometimes hundreds of these. For that money they could actually have something worth passing along to family.
great video, I agree 100% with you with u about there lower end stuff but the higher end stuff is a work of art....(my opinion) keep up the good work ....👍
I was just watching that other person’s channel who claim he hates the haters who hate on Invicta but then he himself takes it upon himself to take shots at anyone who dares oppose his opinion. I love watching his rants, a clueless tool. Thanks for sharing your views on Invicta, I’m sure you’ll be getting more downvotes from his loyal followers!
I agree in part and disagree in others.. yea that particular watch..and yes most of their lineup is crap.. but some prodivers are automatic using the seiko nh35a..which is windage and hackable..and yes had a screw down crown..and does do a decent job as a diver... will it replace my other divers...he'll no..but for a price point of under 100 dollars you would be hard pressed to get a watch with the seiko nh35a movement and other features... yes I agree 90% of their watches are trash..but there are a few models that aren't half bad.
Vostok really are a great value. Theres a reason they are called the ak47 of watches. Durable as hell but you arent going to get mega compliments on it unless the person knows watches,then he ll appreciate it. I own 2 of them alingside some of my watches that cost 1000s. The vostok really has an amazing history.
FWIW, I generally have nothing but disdain for most Invicta watches. Certainly, their marketing, pricing and overall quality are a bit laughable. And of the ones I've looked at, most have "fake" features (non-rotating bezels, incorrect tachymeter pips, non-screw-down crowns, fake sub-dials) that do irk me. But among the thousands of gaudy, ugly models, I occasionally run across one that looks pretty good, and can be had pretty cheaply. I happen to like this one. I picked up a used one on Ebay for $55. I own a small collection of watches, mostly Seikos and Citizens, ranging from $120-$400. I think this one will look at home in my collection, once I buff the scratches out of the bracelet. If it holds up, I'll keep it in the rotation. If not, I've not lost too much. And unlike Invicta's contemporaries, such as Alpha, the bracelets are usually fairly nice. I can always transfer that to one of my other watches. Thanks for the review.PS the transparent back almost turned me away. That is truly ridiculous. But you can't see it while wearing it, so it didn't deter me for long. I figure when it comes time to change the battery, I can coat the inside of the back while it's off to make it opaque, lol.
I dislike many of their watches with a few exceptions. I hardly ever wear the two ridiculously large ones I own, but I love the way their face and crown look and function. These are the SubAqua Noma V and the 16803 Venom Hybrid. They are stated as "Swiss Made" I known they do actually differentiate Swiss Made vs. "Made with Swiss Parts"
i wonder if he worked for invicta and got fired, lol. some people don't have the money to buy expensive watches, but want to have a good looking watch. some women cant afford real designer apparel, so they buy mass produced items. ask any woman, sorry for you bad experience with invicta
+Noah Archive You don't have to spend a lot of money to get an okay watch. There are many very decent watches that are inexpensive. Invicta isn't one of them. It's pure trash. If you want a nice and affordable watch check out Seiko 5s, Seiko 5 Sports, Orients and Citizens.
Thanks a lot for making this video,people should know more about invicta as a brand and their quality. People seem to think that invicta watches are quality made for some reason. Keep up the good work!
I never thought it my wildest dreams(and some of those include midgets) that this video review would cause such an uproar on both sides of the Invicta argument. We are all entitled to our opinions and that's the beauty of UA-cam. I apologize(just trying to be civil actually) if this video review touched a nerve with the Invicta Army out there but you folks surely know that Invicta does not have the greatest reputation. Invicta has some VERY SHADY pricing techniques, hit and miss quality, durability issues and some VERY GAUDY watches. I am simply giving my opinion and if you don't like my opinion or don't agree with it, that's fine. I'm sure there are many other videos that slobber all over Invicta so feel free to watch one of those :) I just have to inform people of the FACTS and if someone can avoid buying an Invicta from watching my review that puts a smile on my face :)
Thanks to Felix Culpa below! Here is the link to the Better Business Bureau's "F" rating of The Invicta Watch Company Of America: www.bbb.org/south-east-florida... Thanks again Felix!!! Hopefully now some folks will finally realize that Invicta is CRAP!
You say that these are your opinions yet you claim they are fact?
@@GundamOC well they are?
I’ve had this identical watch for over 10 years and been wearing it for every single day for work and pleasure. I get it wet and very dirty every chance I get. When the battery dies I replace it for 4$.
The only thing that ever breaks on these heavy watches is the pin that holds the band to the rim of the face of the watch. It bends in time and eventually falls out due to the bow of the pin. Replace it prior breaking for 2$ and carry on. It’s a tough and durable watch for the price and looks sharp at the same time.
I have an Invicta chronograph Pro Diver. That I have used a lot and taking it swimming, it has the Seiko movement in it. It's been working just fine for me and I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.
A year later. Does it still work ?
That display back though! haha What a joke.
It's Complicated lmaoooo, too funny.
i "watch" invicta watch special segments on the tv shopping channel for comedic relief. seriously. they should sell those things on infomercials and package them w the 'as seen on tv' logo on the box and hawk them along w the bacowave and slapchop. at the very least you would see they get sold right next to reverse mortgages, cpap supplies, and tax 'relief' services at 315 in the morning.
no offense to baconwave and slap chop. i love bacon and hate chopping onions. am glad i did not delay and 'acted now' :)
Invicta is the pinnacle of poor taste. The only model that has any value at all, is the diver with the Nh35 automatic Seiko movement for about 100 euros. But even for 100 Euros, I would rather have a Casio Duro. It is blasphemous to call this brand Swiss.
Invicta actually makes some descent pieces.Won some horological awards as well.
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS Most do.lol☺
I started collecting invictas about 5 years ago when my father gave me my first one at sixteen years old. Now at twenty one i have nine ranging from big to small. If you are interested in an invicta, look into one of their reserve collection. Take your time picking it out because you don't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong one. Some then feel obligated to try and bash a fantastic watch company over one of the cheapest watch you can buy from them.
I love invicta! wish I lived in the US to have access to more !
You dont make any sense. You purchased the watch knowing the info and then you bash it? Most of your complaints are unwarranted assumptions. Your ranting about a watch that cost less than $100. Get real
Your complaints about the features of this watch seem baseless. For the price range of this watch most other watches lack the same features and/or will not have a Swiss movement. You need to compare the same fruits.
Nope, my review is accurate. Thanks for watching.
lol.. actually the scuba pro diver is nice looking and its really is a good watch for what its worth
I have a Seiko Solar Diver Chronograph which I have snorkeled with in the ocean. It has screw down pushers and crown, solar powered, and a working chronograph! Why do people waste their money on stuff like this when you can get a real chronograph diver for under $200?!
As always you have to be clever and bright and only buy things which deserve to be buyed. I bought an Invicta 741 and it cost me under 400 Dollars (bought in USA for Germany) AND IT HAS A SEIKO 8R28 CALIBRE in it (SII NE78A). There is crap and there are jewels - I found a jewel and reacted quickly.
You're a sucker but enjoy!
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS
Sorry, I do not understand.
I am a man and never sucked (heterosexual).
So...I think you should try your luck somewhere else.
Of course you understood but you're pretending not to because you feel foolish for wasting your money on what you thought was a "jewel". You're not "clever" for buying an Invicta, you're simply stupid :( When I said you're a "sucker" that had nothing to do with being gay...and you know this. It's a colloquialism for meaning you got fooled, tricked and taken advantage of for your lack of watch knowledge. So...I think you're a "sucker" for buying a piece of shit watch and I didn't try my luck with you, idiots like you are easily defeated. Don't worry there are many other "suckers" like you out there. Have a great day SUCKER!
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS
Sorry, your text is too long for me.
I can barely read, you know.
That is the reason I bought my Invicta.
I had to read only 8R28a 😁
Now enlighten other people about Invicta.
I am getting bored...
You're getting bored because you know you're a SUCKER and wasted your money on a piece of shit watch. Take care SUCKER!
There are two kinds of invictas. The really inexpensive ones like the pro diver that can have poor quality and there are the newer models like the Zeus Bolt, venom, and subaqua noma 3 that are all amazing watches.
I like the looks of those but after the shenanigans they are putting me through I will never buy one of their watches.
If they're using Seiko movements and other higher quality movements in some of their watches, what makes them shit? Is it because it doesn't say Tag Heuer or Seiko on it that makes them shit? I think most of these brands have people fooled. I'm not spending 2k on a Tag that has the same Seiko movement and is assembled in Hong Kong. Right now I have a $450 citizen sitting on my desk as a fucking paper weight because the piece of shit movement went tits-up. I own quite a few watches and every brand at this level has shit and good quality levels. Yes, even Invicta. The Swiss and Japanese are selling movements to any watch company now.
Ok...lol
Interesting video review Scott! I have many different brands in my herd of watches and I am actually very happy with the Invicta examples I own. Style aside, which is up to individual's personal taste, I find Invicta to offer something for everyone's budget, style, and taste. Thank you for your channel which I find very useful, informative, and last but not least, highly entertaining. Seasons Best!👍
No idea who Scott is...lol.
Invicta's are gateway watches IMO. They are meant to be cheap, until owners and collectors can eventually afford the higher end watches (Thats at least how I see them). I own a few that tailor very well to my preferences in what I am looking for in a watch and have served me ZERO issues in the past 5-6 years since I have started my collection of both invicta's and non-invicatas. It's a bit discouraging that this video is called a "review". While you did briefly recite the specs, the title serves no purpose to the actual watch reviewed, and just had a negative connotation the entire video. After reading responses the reviewer has left others who disagree with him, I am expecting something similar here, but like my father always said - "To each his own and provolone", and appreciate the video none the less.
Matt Collins Finally a sensible and mature comment. Thanks brother, take care :)
I own various watches.A couple of Seiko astron gps's , a Breitling Navtimer•Bentley and Superocean,Omega sea masters•Citizen Eco-Drives and yes Invictas, a couple of Pro divers, Grand divers and some automatic Zues Bolts.Everyones always telling me , why are you still wearing a watch, you can get the time off your smartphone now.... But I've always loved wearing watches.Now let me tell you, the Invictas aren't my favorite watch BUT there a really nice watch for there price points and they are in fact well made despite what people say.People call invicta watches COPIES of other brands of watches, but you know what, copyrights run out eventually and the invicta company can make any type of watch they wish.So who cares what the haters out there say about them.I along with a lot of others like the Invictas aswell ......
Invictas are garbage...plain and simple :)
Wow you sound super angry with Invicta they must've screwed you a couple times lol
I have a range of watches, from TAG 600m Aquamaster / Omega Aqua Terra to $100 invicta's. You just need to choose way more carefully. I wouldnt have chosen the one you reviewed, its horrible but at sub basement price on Amazon, it tells time and thats all these things do. Its just some do it better than others!
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS ~ I think i just got Buzzingga'ed! Glad you like the shave videos brother... Come join facebook.com/groups/WristCheck/ and help grow your community!
So you bought the cheaper little brother model from Costco. Ya I know because I have the better model that cost more and actually has a screw down crown and pushers. I did pick this one up for a cheap version for work. I did return the one like your review because I realized it was made to look like it was better. Remember your review to knock the brand started biased and you picked a cheap model. You also picked a large case model but they have smaller. I do recommend buying from
Costco because there are some problem models and costco is pretty much hassle free. You are right about the MSRP. The only place that I have found going by that tag price is the Invicta Flagship Store. Your review was as honest and useful as the crappy lower model you picked to bash with. Invicta does have its issues just like most other brands and this review.
It's funny that you're still responding...lol. Have you not noticed that your replies are not being posted?
Lmao...because I disagree with you I'm not smart? Now that's a dumb comment! Just another SJW loser that got his/her feelings hurt when they realize that the watch on their wrist is actually a piece of shit laughed at by real watch enthusiasts...lmao. Take care snowflake!
This is my favorite part Roy Miller...clicking the "block" button for douchebags that think ANY Invicta is a good watch(they're all cheaply produced crap with hyper-inflated prices)and that also has some weird affinity for Sponge Bob videos...creepy. Take care creepy douchebag!...lmao.
So because it was a "cheaper" model I should expect a lot less? ALL INVICTAS are garbage no matter which shitty model you buy. So by your logic if I buy an Accord instead of an Acura(both made by Honda) I should fully expect the Accord to be a piece of shit? Your comment was a textbook case of being butthurt now that you realize that $300.00 hunk of junk on your wrist is really worth about $20.00 and real watch enthusiasts are laughing at your utter lack of knowledge about watches...lol.
He’s got one on his wrist....can’t blame him for wanting to convince himself he didn’t get completely and totally ripped off. Part that bugs me is how many older, vulnerable people invicta sell watches to cause the home shopping network for every watch says its originally 1,500 bucks, but just for today, they’re selling it for 80.
Just a damn joke man. Great video. This brand should be exposed for those pathetic marketing practices
wow,this is one of the coolest and most honest video in UA-cam. I couldn't stop laughing when you keep saying " oh man, this is a crap" great job!
A display case back on a quartz....that about sums up Invicta.
Invicta is total garbage but when you take price into consideration, it's not worse than MB&F, Jacob & Company and HYT
Well I went from a video that one loves them to one that hates them, so it's 50/50 so far, but I just love my regular casio g-shock that's been through hell and back and still works great , guess I better just stick with Casio for now til further review.
TheAirheaded1
had a Swiss made Invicta, didn't last more than 5 months. the day of the watch became loose, contacted them still no reply. going to stick to g shock
I own about a dozen watches. None cost over $500 bucks. One is an Invicta monster 63mm Reserve Grand Octane that tends to weigh me down on one side so I walk in semicircles. I paid 5% Retail. Everyone goes crazy over that watch. Where did you get it? How much was it? Can I try it on? No they arent "bonafide watch collectors" and "timepiece connoiseurs". They are just regular everyday people. And I'd much rather hang with them then a bunch of stuck up condescending snobs that think a stupid watch makes you somehow better or worse for owning it. Face it, watches are obsolete. We only wear them for enjoyment. So what difference could it possibly make. None. Get over yourself. When my wristweight eventually breaks, I'll sink it in the canal and use it to tie off my boat.
This is going to be really fun making you look like the Invicta wearing, watch novice, that I'm sure you are. Firstly, if you own about a dozen watches you obviously don't think they're "obsolete". Anyone that does pay over $500.00 for a watch isn't a snob. It just means that either they wanted and/or had the money to pay more for a better watch or spent $500.00 and had no idea what they were buying...you would fall into the latter category I'm sure. Anyone that goes "crazy" over any Invicta knows nothing about watches. I wonder why Invicta has a "F" RATING from the Better Business Bureau? I wonder why their price tags normally are in the high hundreds ($700-$1400) but usually sell for less than $200.00(and that's even WAY more than their worth). Regular, everyday people can still afford a MUCH better watch for the same price as you would pay for ANY Invicta. Here's one of my favorite things you said "And I'd much rather hang with them then a bunch of stuck up condescending snobs that think a stupid watch makes you somehow better or worse for owning it" Owning an Invicta and being proud of it doesn't mean you're a bad person or that someone that wears a much better watch for the money(which is just about ANY OTHER BRAND out there) is better than you. It just means you don't KNOW SHIT about watches and/or you're willing to buy something without doing research on it first. Of course we only wear watches for enjoyment as evidence again of the fact that you have twelve of them. But If I am going to wear a watch on my wrist I want to make sure I spent my money WISELY and not on just a piece of MALE FASHION jewelry where no engineering went into making the watch good/accurate/reliable but they instead worried much more about the watch's looks and fake gold and chrome plating. That's what Invicta watches are...HUGE, GAUDY, CHEAPLY MADE, INACCURATE, UNRELIABLE, DOUCHEBAG MAGNETS. So if you can act like people that really care about watches for more than their looks and are willing to spend more for a quality timepiece are "snobs" I can tell you to get over yourself as well. And if none of this made a difference in the first place, according to you, why did you comment in the first place? Oh and who gives a shit if you have a boat? That was your not so subtle way of trying to brag. I'm sure it's a little 14' dinghy with an electric motor on the back anyway...lol.
MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS 12' jonboat w/trolling motor. Not bragging. I have to bail water or it will sink.
I have a Litespeed carbon fiber bike that cost as much as a Rolex. I also have a Wal-Mart "Fat tire " bike that was on sale for 80 bucks. I ride both. What difference does it make to you what I choose to have? Sure I'd love to have Patek Supercomplication, but I'd be afraid to take it out of the safety deposit box. I appreciate nice things, Bruno Magli shoes, Armani super 150 suits, Ferragammo Ties. Zegna shirts. But I also have a linen Banana Republic suit that was $125, that I love. And some Vans sneakers that I wear everywear. I am as we speak ,looking at nicer watches. I thought maybe a Seiko Astron. My remark about "watch snobs" was only directed at that specific subset of watch collectors. It should not have insulted anyone , unless they consider themselves to be as I described. I never speak an insult directly at anyone. If you chose to include yourself, that is not on me. I did not mean to give any impression of wealth. Far from it. I save my money by being frugal. I am on a fixed income. I usually take about 4-6 weeks to research a product before I buy. My Invicta had a ridiculous MSRP of $2500.00 I had read a person should not pay over 10% retail. That would be $250.00 I won an auction from "Wonderdealspot" on EBay for $137.00 I am pleased with my purchase. I wouldn't say I'm "proud" of it. I'm not drivin to buy things unless they appeal to me. Good Luck with your nice watches.
Funny story , I have a hobby that I really indulged in. I sold a older camper and a golf cart , and bought something " professional grade" So there's a guy watching me and he comes over, because he's the "expert" and proceeds to tell me I'm too lavish. I should have bought way cheaper like he did. I guess everyone has different likes and dislikes.
COME BACK AND REVIEW INVICTA AFTER YOU'VE BOUGHT A SUBAQUA
NO THANKS. ALL INVICTAS ARE GARBAGE!
pocoyo First you say you agree with me then you call me an idiot?...lol. Invicta lovers really are morons...lol.
pocoyo Noooo, YOU'RE THE MORON and now you're deleted...lol.
Invicta sucks at all levels. Hideous designs, oversized junk, poor quality and made up prices. Total and complete crap.
I have invicta grand diver II. It is 47mm automatic watch and has screw down crown.
It is a little bit bulky but not too much.
I have to thank you...I nearly got dazzled by this at Costco yesterday but thought I'd youtube this to get an honest impression....so yah, u just saved me $165
Well, I bought the INVICTA'S. Two for gifts (Hydromax, and Coalition Forces) and one for myself (Scuba, Master Calendar), about 4 months ago. So far, I have no complaints. Although, I must say; the Coalition Forces, is a monster watch. But my brother, who's former U.S. ARMY, really thinks it's cool.
I guess, maybe in a year, I'll know if any of them survived. :-D
Okay, I understand your points, and agree with you on most of them. The main things you have to understand about Invicta, is 1) Perceived value. 2) All about style over function.. that out of the way, I own a few Invictas.. but I own the "Reserve" level pieces.. and yes, those actually are made with quality in mind.. anything that doesn't have that Reserve stamp, I'd also highly question it!
Love your reviews, and You've earned a subscriber from me with your brutal honesty.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS My favorite is the Invicta Specialty Reserve 1st Gen. The main reason to love that one is the case.. The precision that went into making it is honestly pretty astounding. Not simple to do by any means by ANY company.
By the way, I can't give you a valid reason why they included an exposed case back on this diver you reviewed.. I completely agree it was a VERY dumb idea on Invictas behalf.. Lol.. Oh well, to each his/her own.. What I always say to everyone.. If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT!! Lol..
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Yes, this one is garbage.. All for show.. Just something that looks pretty.. But like you said.. Not truly functional for the claims.
obviously this guy didn't read the invicta website because it says the pushers and crown are push down not screw down
Too bad .. They have absolute worst customer service anywhere. Shameful
I understand your gripes with Invicta. I for one own a couple of Invicta's, one a 8932 and the other the 8928 automatic with a Seiko NH35A movement inside. The 8928 I completely love and luckily enough both watches have been going great so far!
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS : I think the 8928 working isn't really a miracle since it comes with a Seiko NH35 movement inside which is a well proven workhorse. :)
The fanboys saying things like "Reserve models are top of the line" are so off-base it's laughable. Out of 5 or so Invictas I've owned in the past, only one (SAN III) was without QC issues or defects. These included Reserve models, Grand Divers, and a Swiss Made SW500 auto. Lume dots falling off bezels, clasp pins falling out, Flame Fusion aka glorified window glass scratching with light bumps, straps tearing/disintegrating, the list is endless and well-documented. These are not "one-offs" or the exceptions to the rule, folks. These are serious and widespread issues with Invicta's outsourced manufacturers both in East Asia and in Switzerland. Invicta is NOT a "watchmaker"; they design cases and straps, then outsource the manufacturing to the lowest bidder who then have their likely unskilled laborers install other companies' movements inside them. This is why when you have a warranty issue, it can take 3 months to a year to get your watch back even though Invicta is based in Florida. They charge $28 because watches are sent overseas to aforementioned outsourced factories for repair. Invicta makes NOTHING in-house other than their designs.
I refuse to support a company that does not stand behind their products. If you like their designs and are not put off by their snake-oil sales pitches and inflated MSRP's, by all means go for it. I'll stick with REAL watch brands that make quality affordable products like Seiko, CItizen, or Tissot.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Never even seen this before. Possibly my son as he uses this youtube account and owns an Invicta, despite having being warned. I don't wear 50mm+ watches, and this guy has hub caps strapped to his wrist.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Years ago I tried to be open-minded about the brand despite being generally aware of their reputation. The inflated MSRP gripe is actually the least of their faults. Their shoddy quality control and AWFUL after-sale customer service are the real problems. Why spend money on a watch at any price when you know in advance that the company won't stand behind it? I had a strap tear clean through the buckle on a reserve model 1 month in after being lightly bumped, but their "5-year Reserve warranty" only covers the movement lol.
I got one for Christmas and also got a watch repair kit for resizing the linkage and when I did I noticed the pin came out but also there is a very very small pin that you would've noticed that fell out besides the pin and when your putting it all back together the pin still won't stay in to hold the bracelet in place team pin falls out THANK YOU FOR LETTING ALL THOSE OTHERS KNOW BUYER BE AWARE!
+bbq10 The little thing that fell out in addition to the pin is the barrel. The barrel commonly sits in the middle of the link or in some brands the end of the link and holds the pin in place when you slide it in.
I have had an Invicta 8928 OB two tone for about 5 years. It has a Japanese auto mvmt, display back, screw down crown with quick set date and reverse hacking. It has been a great watch so far, but I agree Invictas seem to be going the route of big, ugly and gaudy. If you can get an older model they are cheap and reliable, but Orient or Vostok are better alternatives.
+John Donnelly I also have an 8928 and like it. It is 40 mm wide on the bezel, is comfortable, has a good japanese movement, a screw down crown, and is no more gaudy than a Rolex.
So you hate Invicta. I hate clickbate thumbnails.
How is my thumbnail clickbait there champ?...lol. These are garbage watches and I said the same thing in the review. I hate dumb comments like yours as well.
I have taken this thing in water a lot before
I've eaten fish tacos alot too.
I've heard mixed reviews about Invictas but to give them some credit, I have the 40mm automatic pro diver which copies the Rolex Submariner and mine is great for an $80 dollar watch. It has a screw down crown, cyclops and rubber strap. The materials and finish are great with a solid stainless steel case and see through case back. I've used it at least 50 times to go surfing in the ocean, taken tumbles in 15 foot waves and is definitely waterproof. Although it is a beautiful watch, I put it next to my friends Rolex GMT Master and you can see why their $8000 and up. It blows it out of the water.
Nice going. FINALLY a review that tells it true. Heed this man's wisdom!
Thank you sir!
You have to pick your invicta watches carefully, their products come at a price range from $70 china/japan/thailand made watches to thousand dollar swiss made watches. But I wouldn't recommend buying it anyways, I'd rather get a tag heuer or maybe even a seiko.
Yeah I don't have to worry about picking ANY Invicta as you and I both know they're garbage :)
I received mine today from Amazon $ 65.00, this is the 40 mm limited edition model.screw down crown & pushers. Solid case back , not that stupid exhibition case back . lume isn't that great, but invicta is notorious for this. 200 meters water resistance, flame fusion crystal. The best feature on this watch is the bracelet , reminds me of a engineer bracelet. BTW my watch is 009/999... I think it is a great looking watch no matter what I paid for it! I don't think you can find the 40 mm watch anymore, but I have seen the 50 mm case for sale on eBay & they are not limited edition runs. No screw down crown & pushers !
I have a love/hate relationship with Invicta. I love their styles and their bang for the buck, but I hate their customer service and their quality control. After years of buying and selling Invicta watches, I've learned how to manipulate the brand and the company for maximum value and satisfaction. Rule one: Don't buy their cheap watches. Rule two: Don't take their crap! Return, refuse, exchange without hesitation and don't be afraid to beat up their CS. Make sure to put the watch through its paces before the return period ends. Rule three: Bargain hunt.
Well......I just got this exact watch for Christmas. I like the thing. I am by no means an expert on watches but it suits me just fine. I know my wife got it at Costco and I am sure she took advantage of any rebates or discounts that where available. I am a little bummed that your vid is the first one I found when doing a little research on the watch ( I'm not mad bro...LOL ) I will admit it was kinda hard to listen to you with an open mind with the very watch you are bashing upon my wrist. OH well...I normally don't wear watches or any jewelry at all but on occasion I like to have a shiny chunk of metal on my wrist for the rare time when I am not in my work clothes. Also I am a larger man so the "bigness" of it fits my wrist.
I guess if you are a hard core watch guy this one is not up to snuff according to the standards laid out in this review. If you are a regular guy that likes big flashy watches then this is a good buy..I will keep and proudly wear it. My wife thought enough to get it for me so I will wear it in her honor.
Thanks for the review...I did learn some things about watches :)
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS LOL...I was watching your review on the Citizen Titanium when I heard the alert for your reply. I been thinking about starting a watch collection. I have a Swiss Army watch that I bought years ago but I hate the damn thing...the band keeps coming undone on me. I haven't worn it in a couple years. Any suggestions on how I can get that band to stay shut? Its a Victronix I guess..thats what it says on the bottom.
You are so correct when they first came out bout an 18k gold excursion button weren’t screwed in all fell off!!! $1000 bucks down the drain lesson learned 😢
I'll be honest I was going to buy this, but now I don't think so. I will stick to my Seiko's, Citizen time piece's when I get one. I will be getting one. I will also stick with my Casio G-Shocks by far. Great video. Keep them coming.
See, I do quite like Invicta watches, they're a bit of cheap fun but absolutely nothing you have said is untrue at all, I totally agree with all of your opinions haha, transparent case back on a quartz? no screw down on a 200+m diver watch? As a bit of gaudy fun, I love these things, anything proffesional, they're total garbage. Also they are totally scamming with the pricing.
At least you admit they're crap :)
I have a few of these and thought they were good. now I've learned my lesson, but I have only 2 that I'm keeping for their looks only and be every day wearers. I do have a "diver" one that is an automatic and I call it a time keeping hockey puck due to its chunky shiny black looks. I'll donate the rest to a thrift store.
Glad you saw the error of your ways :)
Did he really complain about the font of the manual?
Who?
You did. I knew your are just rambling and doing a bias review when you complaint at the beginning of the small font in the manual. All watches manuals are the same!!!
Then why did you say "Did he" if you were taking directly to me moron?...lol. All watch manuals are NOT the same dumbass. Enjoy your piece of shit Invicta ;)
I bought the watch(and then took it back of course) to show people what pieces of shit Invicta watches are and to tell them to STAY AWAY. I'm not stupid enough(like you obviously) to actually buy an Invicta and keep it...lol. You go ahead and accept an inferior product for your money...I won't.
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Dude, pretty sure I just blocked another moron from my channel...YOU...lmao. He WAS talking about me but you're obviously, and expectedly, too stupid to be able to read comments. "You did. I knew your are just rambling and doing a bias review when you complaint at the beginning of the small font in the manual. All watches manuals are the same!!!" Of course not all watch manuals are the same! I'm seeing a trend here...Invicta fan boys are absolute MORONS...lmao.
WoW! It's like wearing a brass knuckle instead of a real watch. Disgusting piece of shit!!! If our local gun rage allowed me to use these garbage as target practice, I would, but we're only allowed paper targets.
Lmao...agreed. I've tried not to hate these watches but I just can't! And funnily enough, I just took my son to the gun range for the first time about a month ago. He loved it!
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 Of course nobody asked you. Nobody asks libtards anything because you're all such pussies and morons anyway...lmao.
I like the watch and the ugly logo is very similar to the Chrysler and Bentley logo. For the price I think it's a steal. Invicta is no where close to high end watches and can't expect to have Rolex quality at a Timex price. It's a nice watch and I would warn buyers beware of pitches that would hurt Invicta creditability and discourage consumers to keep investing in this growing brand. I have a couple of Invicta watches and had trouble with only one and I followed the shipping instructions and the issue was fixed. You get what you pay for and definitely a eye catcher. This watch gets a thumbs up.
Mavs Dad great opinionated review and I know you're just giving your opinion. Good review!
You have no idea how wrong you are I own 40 and been collecting for over 10 yrs and have never ever had any type of problem..
I disagree and still think they're garbage but glad you enjoy them.
@maverickwatchreviews I own a bunch of them and they are not garbage
Maybe, just maybe, the 200m water resistance is specified for the watch inside the faux pelican case.
What I think is rather curious is the fact that Invicta actually uses legit movements like that Ronda and the Seiko NH-35A in that Submariner knock off. And then they go ahead and throw those movements under the bus with these crappy watches. Kind of a shame if you think about it.
thanks for this video! i plan to save up over the next few months for a watch costing < 150$ and invicta was on the list! i have heard that Sturhling also has pretty suspect quality watches. please could you give your opinion on them? as i think they look good atleast and seem to have favorable reviews on amazon.
Hi
I noticed all the dislikes on this video, must be from all the invicta owners out there.
The truth hurts;-)
I do not own ANY invicta watches but why so much hate towards that company?... they are fashion watches that's all. I own a Rado Diastar wiss made automatic and the crown broke and fell off twice within 3 years....the warranty expired at 2 years so I had to pay the second repair out of pocket...disappointed of my swiss made $1,000 watch
I can't even change the battery. because the back won't open. I feel your pain
Lol thanks for a good laugh and the effort you put into this. Yeah, these things are absurd, but sadly, they are still around.
A.few days ago a friend of mind grabbed an Orient Mako on sale off Amazon, with the additional discount code I think it was $65 or something stupid like that. You can get decent autos or quartz for less than $100. Invicta's pricing tactics just seem "shady" to me and even. We know most watch MSRP's are higher than you can find online, but these guys are delusional.
What citizen eco drive has these features that actually functions for $100? I'm curious to see one and I'll buy it.
Which features? And I'm sure there are MANY watches better than this piece of shit...lol.
MAVERICK WATCH REVIEWS in the review you state an eco drive in the $100 price range with these features is a much better choice... As I stated, show me one and I'll buy it, hell I'll buy three

Friends don't let friends buy Invicta.
Absolutely correct , unfortunately I own 12 watches . Six are in need of repair, cannot go in water with it . You send it in for repair it cost 58.00 and takes 3 months to get back . If they fix it at all. The rubber bracelet break and they are 250.00 to replace . I will not buy another one for sure. They are nice looking and large but that's about it. Stay away !
Yeah, they're garbage for sure...lol.
thank you sir, you have opened my eyes, I will refund immediately this piece of shit to Costco and look for a better orient or citizen, tacos from Mexico dude!
+Daniel “DubstepWolf” Estrada in Costco (mexico) you can find some Citizen at good prices, take a look at Seiko 5 range also. but never Invictas from costco (they're tasteless).
Video should be called why I hate this invicta, not invicta as a brand
I have a wide range of watches and movements. Including Invicta ... If your going to go full on bash of a product. Compare apples to apples.
Not a entry level Invicta to; for example mid level Eco Drives... Of course your not going to get the same level of value. No where do I see on any description of this watch anything misleading about the movement ... Swiss Parts Ronda Movement built in Thailand. Which many watch companies do...
There are good Japanese quartz movements as well as Swiss made quartz movement... Swiss Parts are just that ... Clear in the description. Push comes to shove I would prefer a Swiss vs the Japanese... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... And sense of style, function and value. And personally I would not have chosen this watch for my collection. I just feel some of your facts are a bit skewed on this review... If you know what your looking for and comparing apples to apples there are many Invicta watches that will equal or surpass citizen or seiko.
Lmao...that's hilarious.
Thank You !!!!!!!!!!
haha I wouldn't be caught dead with one but I'm glad if they bring someone joy.
I would say these aren't problems with their automatic Pro Divers. Those use Seiko's automatic mechanical movements and have screw down crowns and don't have any fake crap like this one does.
Agreed :)
I love invicta watches
I hate Invicta watches
Worst review I ever seen on UA-cam. Does your psychiatrist know you're not taking your meds?
I absolutely love these triggered comments from Invicta fan boys🤣🤣🤣
I don't really agree with you. I own 8 Invictas. All great quality and reliable. You happened to choose an inexpensive model to go HAM on. What do you expect from a $100 dollar watch? Check out the more expensive models. The Reserve stuff is top notch. You can't trash the whole brand on your opinion of "this" watch. Dude you keep taking about people who don't know about watches. But you don't look good yourself trashing a whole brand on a single buy. They have watch lines than span to several hundred dollars up to over a thousand. You picked this watch? Come on.
Haha. I just found it. I agree on the agree to disagree part.
+TheRagnarok5000 if you're finding yourself spending more than $100 on an Invicta, you're insane.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS see this where I think you're not really doing your viewers justice. You reviewed a bottom end watch. Unless you've been hands on with a Subaqua Noma, Bolt Zeus, Venom, etc. you really shouldn't be trashing the brand.
TheRagnarok5000 The fact that it's labeled a "bottom end" watch says more about how crap the company is, though... When you look at a reputable watch company, and see that even their lowest priced watches still go through meticulous QC and have upper craftsmanship invested into it, it screams how terrible Invicta really is. To knowingly have a "bottom end" watch and still have your logo on it.. what more can you say?
+all_mota _ I see where you're going with it. I guess as a consumer I can appreciate different levels of build quality to match price points. I se it sort of like cars. If all you can afford is the entry level car then cool. But you'll have cheap plastic interior, minimal comforts, and basic look. But if you have the money you can have something with leather seats, navigation, bigger engine, etc. People don't say Ford is a shitty car manufacturer because they offer the Fiesta.
Hi
You've got to make another review on a different invicta watch!
I have been reading the comments and this is so funny!
Invictards really can't take any criticism :-D
this is a nice invicta. You gotta like this one
I have two Invicta watches that still work but you have a good point tho Invicta care more making money and selling and quality
Costo now has them down to $79! I got one but it is going back.
I ordered an Invicta Specialty Swiss made quartz chronograph. I thought it's a great sporty looking watch being a good sized one at 48 mm black case and a red polyurethane bracelet. Anyways,I've only had it for 5 days and wore it 3 times,and to my disappointment,the second hand stopped moving at the 5 o clock spot! Evine really overhyped the Invicta watches they were pushing!
I hope you learned your lesson and to STAY AWAY from Invicta! :)
Not gonna fall for Evine's overhyped sales pitch for Invicta watches!
I've been buying invicta for 13 yrs now I own 15 I still have my first from 13 yrs ago still works and looks as good as new so you tell me again why there crap I wouldn't buy any other watch so stop hating on something you know nothing about
Lmao @ "hating" on a piece of shit like an Invicta. Enjoy yours though!
I like them for there tacky style... I consider them fashion watches. I also like seiko, casio and orient but I can't get a fun fat tacky blinged out version of those...at the end of the day it just need to keep time and look cheesy cool. But ya I don't like the one you have here.
I do not mind the pro diver from invocation that looks like the submariner mostly because I'm a fan of that style watch but unfortunately don't have 10k+ to spend on a watch :(
invicta* autocorrect did that
Bought 15 invicta watches.. I did not know that the silicone bands would just fall apart. The little hands on the mini dials on 2 of my watches just fell off. I went to the website to find a replacement band and they wanted $138. Will never buy another. I am waiting for the other 2 watches with silicone bands to fall apart. If the do it will be in the case because I won’t wear them. Never again.
Why the hell did you keep buying them. Ive owned 24 Invictas out of my 500 watch Collection. I think it's has more to do with how you treat your watches. How many times have you dropped it on a hard surface? Are you playing sports with them on? You bought 12. Why?
Ok I'm Back to defend Invicta, ( Don't know why, really) So I just bought the Invicta 50mm Hydromax Pro diver ,Japanese SII PC32 Quartz Stainless Steel NATO Leather Strap Watch model #17581 (the gold and blue) off of Evine.com for 69$ plus 9$ shipping .a total of 78 dollars. Now, I know you don't like big watches, but a lot of people do. I like a big watch cause it detracts from how ugly I am and it compensates for my little penis and makes me feel better about myself..... hmmmm " was that my inside voice?" anyways, It has a machined out rotating bezel. not painted. "AND" a screw down crown, and a helium release valve. (whatever the hell that is) all for under 80 bucks. You need to give them another chance, I think some suck feet cheese but some are decent watches for the money......luke, LUKE! YOU DON"T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE! JOIN INVICTA! And complete your training! AND YOU SHALL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN......oh wait, sorry just watched The Empire Strikes Back for the 500th time ;D
Alrighty then :)
I object to the use of the Swiss cross in the middle of the Invicta eagle logo. That's misleading. But at least the case is cute.
Best regards, Rob
Seriously that logo is fucking insulting to the watch industry.
Invicta: the brand with no shame!
I think that like most companies, Invicta is a just greedy. I think about 95% of the watches are nothing special, but if you can get something that you think looks beautiful (not the watch in the video- it's hideous) for $100 or less, have fun with it. The MARK's are OUTRAGEOUS, but you also cannot buy watches from the Invicta website, and I have never seen one being sold at the MSRP. As for the other 5%, they do make some that aren't garbage. The challenge is finding one of the good one's at an appropriate price. As someone else commented, they haven't seen an automatic chronograph in either Citizen or Seiko (I don't remember), but they have in Invicta. if that Invicta looks good to that person and is in price range, GET IT! WATCHES ARE JUST TOYS! Beautiful, perfect toys :)
I think what a lot of people love about Invicta, is that they have designs, like the Bolt Zeus, that you can't find anywhere else. When you see that watch, there will be no hesitation of knowing, that's an Invicta! Call it gaudy, but some people like that. I call it unique, and that's why I love my Invictas!
"MSRP's" not "MARK's"
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS
If you have the money, buying something strictly for looks happens in every category of product. That's why nostalgic T-shirts are always cheap quality, because you're only paying for the outside look and every manufacturer of cheap products knows that.
If you're buying a $100 watch, then there's no need to worry about quality, consiering a $10,000+ price is the minimum requirement for luxury watches.
I don't own a bolt zeus. I hate them. I was just offering an opinion based on my conversations with other Invicta owners.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS you're suggesting that they don't put out a single quality product for the price and I disagree. I said before that 95% or more of the brand is garbage, but there's a few diamonds in the rough. My everyday is model 20200. Nothing special, but an automatic that love the look of (I don't consider it gaudy, maybe you do), with a date window that I use everyday at work, and I bought it for about $100. It is literally the most comfortable watch I have ever worn (silicone). To me, the things I just listed make it worth the purchase. I know everyone's criteria are different, but I don't think I can find another silicone automatic with date that's brand new for (i think) $115, AND one that I like the way it looks.
Send me this watch. I will get rid of it for you. :)
Invicta is even below Timex...nice vid
+INFO MUTT That's an insult to Timex!
Thanks for taking the time to shed light on the truth. I’ve heard some have collections of sometimes hundreds of these. For that money they could actually have something worth passing along to family.
great video, I agree 100% with you with u about there lower end stuff but the higher end stuff is a work of art....(my opinion) keep up the good work ....👍
I have I have 4 invictas and they all work well. I do think my nautica watches are better, made bye Timex
I have had no problems with my Invicta watches. Some Invictas are better than others for the quality
This is the first time I've seen a transparent caseback on a quartz watch. Someone thought that was a good idea? Nice review Carl.
Thanks William!
I was just watching that other person’s channel who claim he hates the haters who hate on Invicta but then he himself takes it upon himself to take shots at anyone who dares oppose his opinion. I love watching his rants, a clueless tool. Thanks for sharing your views on Invicta, I’m sure you’ll be getting more downvotes from his loyal followers!
I think I know who you're talking about...lol. Yeah, he's "different" for sure!
You are correct! LIKED!
Thank you sir!
I have a seiko pilot watch and my basel is easy to turn.
I agree in part and disagree in others.. yea that particular watch..and yes most of their lineup is crap..
but some prodivers are automatic using the seiko nh35a..which is windage and hackable..and yes had a screw down crown..and does do a decent job as a diver...
will it replace my other divers...he'll no..but for a price point of under 100 dollars you would be hard pressed to get a watch with the seiko nh35a movement and other features...
yes I agree 90% of their watches are trash..but there are a few models that aren't half bad.
How good are Vostok watches?
Danny Cheek they're good for 80 bucks
Vostok really are a great value. Theres a reason they are called the ak47 of watches. Durable as hell but you arent going to get mega compliments on it unless the person knows watches,then he ll appreciate it. I own 2 of them alingside some of my watches that cost 1000s. The vostok really has an amazing history.
This review cracked me up lol! Great review sir!
The first time I saw invicta’s is they looked like Knockoffs of premium watch brands.
FWIW, I generally have nothing but disdain for most Invicta watches. Certainly, their marketing, pricing and overall quality are a bit laughable. And of the ones I've looked at, most have "fake" features (non-rotating bezels, incorrect tachymeter pips, non-screw-down crowns, fake sub-dials) that do irk me. But among the thousands of gaudy, ugly models, I occasionally run across one that looks pretty good, and can be had pretty cheaply. I happen to like this one. I picked up a used one on Ebay for $55. I own a small collection of watches, mostly Seikos and Citizens, ranging from $120-$400. I think this one will look at home in my collection, once I buff the scratches out of the bracelet. If it holds up, I'll keep it in the rotation. If not, I've not lost too much. And unlike Invicta's contemporaries, such as Alpha, the bracelets are usually fairly nice. I can always transfer that to one of my other watches. Thanks for the review.PS the transparent back almost turned me away. That is truly ridiculous. But you can't see it while wearing it, so it didn't deter me for long. I figure when it comes time to change the battery, I can coat the inside of the back while it's off to make it opaque, lol.
I dislike many of their watches with a few exceptions. I hardly ever wear the two ridiculously large ones I own, but I love the way their face and crown look and function. These are the SubAqua Noma V and the 16803 Venom Hybrid. They are stated as "Swiss Made" I known they do actually differentiate Swiss Made vs. "Made with Swiss Parts"
i wonder if he worked for invicta and got fired, lol. some people don't have the money to buy expensive watches, but want to have a good looking watch. some women cant afford real designer apparel, so they buy mass produced items. ask any woman, sorry for you bad experience with invicta
+Noah Archive You don't have to spend a lot of money to get an okay watch. There are many very decent watches that are inexpensive. Invicta isn't one of them. It's pure trash. If you want a nice and affordable watch check out Seiko 5s, Seiko 5 Sports, Orients and Citizens.
+MAVS DAD WATCH REVIEWS Heh, educating them slow and steady. Subscribed!
Thanks a lot for making this video,people should know more about invicta as a brand and their quality.
People seem to think that invicta watches are quality made for some reason.
Keep up the good work!
