*Lowest Price Ever* - Invicta Men's 9204 Pro Diver Collection Silver-Tone Watch for $44.99 Shipped from Amazon (and others)

Quote from yurmaster : Good everyday beater watch. I have a few Invictas. The automatic version is a decent watch for underm$100. But I got a Seiko automatic diver for a few bucks more. The Seiko is a way better watch. Take the back off an Invicta and you'll see that the quartz movement styles are pretty shitty with a lot of plastic.

Could you provide a link to said Seiko watch? I am tempted but if there is a better watch for marginally more I could definitely be swayed.

Avoid cheap invicta.

all the quartz movement styles I have ever taken the back off of look the same, shitty, w/a lot of plastic. Thats why I only buy automatic anymore.
Oh, and as mentioned, it does look a lot like a submariner. At my last physical, I wore my inv auto and even my doctor could not tell the diff and he was wearing one!

invicta = mother of all replica

so, my biggest question is, is it worth $45? i have a ten year old fossil that i still wear. i would like something decent that is an everyday sort of watch.

i was going to pull the trigger, immediately. but, it seems people are down on this brand.

Quote from quasistyle : Case diameter; 40 millimeters = Girls Watch

40MM is the size of a Rolex Submariner, one of the most copied, sought after watches in history. Hardly a girls watch.

I've had an Invicta diver's watch for 5 years. I've been complemented on it plenty. It looks nice, the crystal is nearly invincible, and it has taken some tough abuse.

The only complaints I would have:
Setting the date/time is not a quick process, so if you travel a ton, it may be a pain.
The watch is heavy duty, which means it is ain't light.
Gold scratches - go figure.

This is the watch and I paid $95 for it from Sharkstores in July:

Do you like it and are willing to pay $45 for it? I have a couple of Invictas in my collection for use at work and they do exactly what they're supposed to, tell me what time it is. People are down on them cause they aren't a $500+ watch.

If you don't like it and are a prime member, I'm pretty sure Amazon offers free returns on their watches.

We are not down on it because we like $500 watches (not saying that I do not), we are down on it because it pretends to be a Swiss watch company. Seiko/Citizen makes much better watches than Invicta and costs approx the same. They also do not pretend to be this Swiss heritage watch. There are some nice Invictas that they put some love and care into making, but those do not cost under 200. People do not dislike Invicta due to any elitism, more like, it is generally a crappy watch vs Seiko/Citizen/Orient in the same price range and pretends to be a premium Swiss watch.

Seiko 5s regularly sell for 55 bucks, great deals/amazing watches, Seikos also tend to use Hardlex crystals, Plastic < Mineral < Hardlex < Sapphire for watch crystals.

Timex and Armitron makes solid watches, if you are going the quartz dressy route I would actually suggest Timex over Invicta =[. Solid classy watch - http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T2H28...ords=timex

For Dive watches go Seiko Monster or Orient Mako/Ray.

my 2 cents

went ahead and bought the silver one. if i don't like it, i'll just return it.

Not sure what you mean by crappy. If you like the look and they tell you what time it is - that's all that really matters. And just by looking at the Amazon reviews [amazon.com] - they are pretty well received with most having a 4.5 or 4 star rating

I've owned 3 Invictas. First one I sent back after a week of use when the second hand fell off. My current two have been very good and reliable. I prefer to use them as style pieces to match outfits and not as everyday watches. I prefer Citizen Perpetual A-T for an everyday watch. You should never pay more than $100 for any Invicta. The price is right for these.
