Invicta's reputation for both quality and customer service is mediocre to poor. While I own several of them, I have always been careful not to pay too much as I know that it may not be worth the hassle to send them in for repair. My local jeweler stopped selling them due to poor quality and the customer service issues. The watch movements are made in several different countries from Switzerland to China but quality also varies as Invicta appears to contract their work to several different firms.

I find the Invicta watches beautiful with a nice heft. For me Invicta makes sense when priced around the $100 range, but I would be hesitant to pay much more than that. You just cannot be sure of what you will get. Just my two cents.

I really like this watch. I received it as an anniversary give from my wife to replace my existing Wegner Swiss army watch which was well worn. It functions great, however there I wish it had a locking adjustment knob. The adjustment knob has a tendency to be pulled out accidentally, stopping the watch from running. I'm assuming this happens when I reach into my pockets to pull out my keys. My old watch required you to unscrew the knob before it would pull out. This is a much better way to secure the knob rather than simply pulling it out. All in all I really like it other than this small issue.

I bought an Invicta Men's 2875 II Collection Chronograph Watch for my husband as a Christmas gift in December 2009. I noticed in May that he hardly ever wore it and asked why. He said it worked for about 2 weeks and stopped, so he just returned to his old cheap watch. I assumed it was a battery but couldn't open the back myself and FINALLY got to a jeweler last week to get a new battery. The jeweler installed the battery and the watch worked for a couple of hours and stopped again. So, for $65 plus the cost of a replacement battery, we got about 2 weeks of function. Now it's too late to return - all I can do is sit and burn.

I am a Big fan of watches, and decided to start spreading my love of watches via gift giving. My close friend had been helping me out with a lot of things, and I noticed he had only ever had one watch. In my opinion, every man should have his choice of watches and cars on any given day, but that's another story.. I decided to give him this watch as a dress watch, and another as a daily/sport watch. Upon receiving this watch, I was admittedly jealous! It's a great looking watch, with fantastic attention to detail, and pretty good material and build quality. AND it has complications!! No complaints here! He now has a rotation, and while this doesn't get worn as much, it is reserved for times when a nicer looking watch may be more noticeable.

Bottom line?
Great Standard sized value priced dress watch. At this price, it could be worn every day and replaced, if so inclined.

I have this watch for a year already and works well looks great get good complements, the size is the only issue but other wise a great watch.

After owning this for around 6 months I love this watch. I've bought more expensive watches so I was leery about the quality of Invicta. I've determined this a high-quality watch. I wear it often and it gets hit on all sorts of stuff but hasn't scratched/scuffed yet. I also get the most compliments on this watch over my more expensive ones.

This watch is very nice, the bracelet shines in all angles of light and the overall look is very elegant but not overdone. The case could be a bit larger (38mm) but it is the same size as my old watch and it looks well balanced with the 20mm bracelet. It's not too bling but just enough.

The box it came in is very nice (if you like the canary yellow) and all the padding in packaging gives this watch a high value product. They didn't skimp on anything ! (polishing wrag, etc...) The watch and bracelet is VERY well wrapped so it's impossible to get any scratches from shipping.

One thing a bit weird: While opening the box, a small notice warns you with the following message:

!! IMPORTANT !!
The watch you have purchased has a very sophisticated movement desing which combines the functions of the calendar toregister on the movement registers. Due to this design, the default setting of each INVICTA watch has already been set to American Time Zone. It's important for you to know that the quick set of the registers (two buttons on the right side) CANNOT BE SET DURING 10:00 pm to 6:00 AM time periods. Obviously this means that if you choose to set the registers, make sure you move the time by pulling out and turn the crown to any time except 10:00 pm to 6 AM to avoid damage. Not following this procedure can damage the mainspring of your registers inside the movement and void the manufacturers warranty.
-------------------------

So, when ever you stick your watch to reach in your pocket, you must remember that the side of your pocket could push on one of these buttons. I think this is not very likely to happen since the buttons are a bit stiff and are on a recessed angle but I always think before I stick my left hand in my jeans pocket because of this (even in the daytime !).

I understand that the watch is inexpensive but would of liked them to figure out a way the fix this.

Still, I'm very satisfied with this watch and highly recommend it.

well i purchased this watch 2 weeks before, so far its fine, everything looks good and i liked it. the shipment was fast and in good condition.
the only small problem i noticed in 2 weeks that the bottom side is starts loosing color. anyways overall it is price worthy watch and i recommend it.

I have had this watch for over a month now. I liked it online, I like it when it arrived, and I still like it. So it was a great deal to me. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a watch, but I think a watch adds something fashion-wise. I've always thought that. This is basically a piece of jewelry. The functionality of the watch is great. Keeps accurate time and it's easy to operate. The band was big so I had a jeweler take a few links out. This is a very classy looking watch. If you don't have a huge wrist and think a large watch too big, this one is a great compromise. Not too small, Not too big. Feels very solid.

I bought this watch for my husband for christmas. I was impressed by how gorgeous it looked in person. It looks way more expensive than the price. And it looks so elegant that it dresses up any man. What I particularly liked was the weight. It is not a flimsy watch, it has some weight to it which I think men like a lot. I loved the product and would recommend anyone to purchase it. You get more than what you pay.
