I keep seeing invicta watches on daily deal sites and am in the market for a crappy <$100 watch. I've already got a couple decent watches so i'm not too worried about it, but i need something for around the house and yardwork type days and would like it to last more than a year or two. from what i can tell online it looks like they just make knockoff watches and inflate list prices so you think you are getting a deal, but is the quality worth $80? 12/13/2010 1:00:51 AM |

The quality is well worth $80. Honestly though, just get a Seiko. Invicta is the "white van speaker scam" of the watch industry. They sell decent $80 watches and claim a $600 MSRP just to trick people into thinking they're getting a good deal. A comparably priced Seiko will be the better quality and longer lasting device. 12/13/2010 1:36:42 AM |

White van, yellow box, what's the difference?

They're not junk watches or anything. They're just trying to pretend they're something they're not. 12/13/2010 1:45:01 AM |

well i have a tag and inherited a submariner, so if i want to go flashy i've got it covered. i just want something for under $100 that will last a couple years and can take getting beatup and scratched. 12/13/2010 2:02:29 AM |

people still wear watches? I usually just use my cell phone or ask ppl what time it is. Beats waking up in the morning and adding another piece of item to forgot. Although, I did streamline by velcro-taping my crappy sprint phone to the back of my ipod touch for a poor man's iphone. lol 12/13/2010 2:18:18 AM |
