Invicta INVICTA-5747 Reviews

Very Content!

I bought this watch for two reasons:

1. I already have quite a few invicta watches and they have all been great over the years

2. For a little over $60, I don't think you can get any other watch with these types of specifications.

All in all this is a great watch that gets great compliments

Reasonable and Sporty!
by Gene Bartholomew from Chicago, 2009-12-31

I've read the other reviews about this watch. Naturally, it's not an Omega or a Citizen. However, for those who don't have $1,000 to blow on a watch, buy this one. It's a great size and it's very sporty. Did I mention that it's reasonably priced?

There are a bunch of pompous watch collectors out there who believe that an expensive watch is the best watch. I say, "If a watch looks good on you and it's durable, than it's a good watch." Don't get me wrong, I'm not downing anyone who can afford an expensive watch--If I could, I would. However, for those who cannot, get down how you live.

This is a great watch. I suggest you get this one and the gold one with the blue dial.

The design appears to be a straight up copy of the Citizen NightHawk
by J Sebastian from CA, 2009-12-08

If the design of this watch appeals to you, check out the NightHawk as well here on Amazon: [...]

The Nighthawk is a really excellent timepiece - and is solar powered, never needs a battery. I hope Invicta licensed it, and didn't just steal the design, but in any case, the bottom line is that this Invicta is a basic Taiwanese made, Japanese quartz movement watch. Is it worth $69 as a designer copy? Probably. Obviously the MSRP is ridiculously inflated and they must do this just for marketing purposes: so that all their products are offered at steep discounts, as there is no way this watch is worth anything near $395.

Disclaimer that I don't own this Invicta, so I can't review its materials quality, others have already commented on that too, but my experience is that under $100, just about all quartz watches are going to be pretty much the same: Made in Asia, Japanese movement, stainless bracelet. Standard stuff. One is much the same as any other. You pay for the brand and/or design.

However, at this price point, one cannot demand a lot, whether its quality, style, or reliability. So for $69, it *is* a helluva nice design, copied from a really beautiful and stylish Citizen. Comparing to other low end designer brands like Fossil and Swatch and similar competitors, it seems to be a fairly compelling entry. Whether you're a chronophile with a wide spectrum of tastes, or just shopping for an inexpensive timepiece, this could be a nice addition to your wrist.

not a bad watch
by John from Northern, New Jersey USA, 2009-11-03

Listen i have the all black version of this watch. Its cool looking, slightly heavy, but i like it. I don't work for any watch companies or anything like that. just a regular guy who thought this watch was cool. the markings for the slide rule may be of slightly but not noticeable unless you are actually trying to use it. its been two weeks and the novelty has not worn off yet. but its not a very expensive watch so hey... i'm sure if you buy it you'll be satified....

I cant complain!

Really cheap feeling
by A. Reeve , 2009-07-21

I'm by no means a watch snob (the price of this is actually quite expensive for me) but I was immediately disappointed when I opened the box. The strap is very light and flimsy, the mechanism feels "loose" when you adjust it and the whole thing just feels cheap - which IMHO it isn't. Returned this one and I'm still looking for a good quality, decent looking watch for under $100.
