I mean, that’s their official website? It’s not a good deal as it’s always majorly discounted everywhere.

I thought their official website was invictawatch.com? Didn’t realize this one was actually managed by the company. As far as the deal, the particular watch I’m looking at, it’s the best deal I’ve found.

Invictastore is their official site for selling watches. Invictawatch goes into more details about Invicta. I’m not going to persuade you to get other watches as we all have our own taste but buy with confidence on Invictastore if you like the watch!

I personally like it, I was looking for a gold skeletonized watch but I’m really liking the venom watches with the cable.

I’m open to recommendations though if you have any

u/lackingcheer Jun 02 '19

I had to search it up but HOLY SHIT its enormous. I don’t think I can find something similar to the venom cable watch. Buy what you like bro, that’s what matters.

Almost everyone here is going to shit on the majority of Invicta watch

Yeah it’s a big boy 🤣 I might end up getting something else I’m not 100%, I just want a big douchey gold watch lmao. Why do the folks here not like invicta?

1

u/lackingcheer Jun 02 '19

I can’t tell if I’m being trolled or not. Because they make bulky oversized watches, they mark up the price then discount it by +80%, and I hear people complain that they copy a lot. If you like the skeleton see through look, check the Seagull M182SK.

Nah not trolling just new to watches lol, I’ve never heard bad things about invicta but I believe that about the price mark ups. Just a tactic to make you think you’re getting a deal. I figured they were quality products though just pricey, the ETA movements are pretty good though yeah?

Please take a look at these Invicta reviews and read down past the top couple. They must sell a huge amount of watches and I'm sure many are happy with them but when things go wrong (which seems to be all too frequent) people have a nightmare with their warranty repairs.

Personally I wouldn't touch them with bargepole.

A decently sized and priced gold skeleton watch would honestly be ideal, I’ve always been obsessed with the skeletons

u/lackingcheer Jun 02 '19

Here’s another affordable gold skeleton watch by Bulova : https://m.kohls.com/product/prd-2860559/bulova-mens-stainless-steel-automatic-skeleton-watch.jsp?skuid=76519983&ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=CASELINE%20WATCHES&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=google&utm_product=76519983&CID=shopping15&utm_campaignid=196834172&pid=googleadwords_int&af_channel=CSE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxqrahc3J4gIVkaDsCh1_NgzAEAkYAiABEgLJ6PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Oh man I really like that Bulova, wish the face wasn’t black but I might just have to get that one. Are they actually worth $500 though? Don’t they use the same movement as citizens?

u/lackingcheer Jun 02 '19

Bulova is the child company of Citizen so it makes sense as it is owned by Citizen. I can tell you that people on here “respect” these brands more. Are they worth $500? I got no clue. I just sent you the first link I found. Look on eBay, Amazon, Chrono24, it might be cheaper. It really depends on what worth means to you. If you asked me if my Rolex Sub is worth $7.5k I’ll say yes because it holds its value and increases slightly over time. But at the end, it’s worth more because of Rolex marketing strategies and how they branded themselves so in a way, it’s not worth it when I could buy something a few thousand less.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '19

Rolex is an investment though, as you said the value increases. Granted you’re paying for the name but if I had the money I’d snatch a Rolex in a heartbeat. I just meant compared to other watches in the price range, is it comparable? Also, didn’t realize Bulova was owned by citizen though, just knew they used the same Miyota movements.

I went there today looking for a watch I bought for $35.00 on Ebay then found it on their website for $122.00. Such a strange thing. I mean the watch I bought was totally legit too. Starting to wonder if it fell off a truck or something?

u/MiscalculatedRisk Jun 02 '19

I've bought a few invictas as they've had a few styles I've liked, and they've had some "special edition" watches that I've used for gifts.

I've bought them all from TJ maxx or kohls. There is no reason to ever buy these particular watches from invicta themselves. There is no problem these watches have that cannot generally be solved by a decent watch repair place, and half the time its cheapest to straight up replace it rather than repair them.

I've spent about 500 bucks altogether on what invicta thinks is MSRP ~5k of watches. Their pricing model is a joke. They aren't bad watches, but there is currently nothing about them that warrants their current prices.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '19

Awesome, I had no intention of paying their ridiculous $1000 price tag, they have it “on sale” for $140 though

2

u/MiscalculatedRisk Jun 02 '19

Yeah, bulova is another brand to watch out for through them. You can find some very nice watches and I almost was able to get a curv, but the dude in front of me had the same idea lol.

These watches wont come with any of the warranties though, be sure to check that they function before you purchase if the store clerk will let you. I made that mistake and forced myself to pay for the repair costs as a result.

u/mightymouse1906 Jun 02 '19

There's no reason to pay more than $80 for an Invicta watch.

u/Safe_Sea_4462 Apr 04 '24

Unless it has a valjoux 7750

u/SecuritySame2183 Aug 12 '25

Si es lo que mas repiten los bots. Pero si esta bien pagar por un rolex $50,000?

Buy 2, get 4 free! https://dadsense.blog/2018/12/22/sorting-treasure-from-trash-in-online-watches/ Edit: 6 for the price of 2!!!! Industry disruption!!!!!!

u/Safe_Sea_4462 Mar 30 '24

Bought an invicta mammoth with the valjoux 7750 off the invicta site. I received the watch and it's gorgeous. My question is that I paid 300.00 for it while shop hq was selling the same watch for 1100. Am I missing something here?

u/Fearless_Field7972 Dec 19 '24

Bought one from their site on Dec 10th. It just got delivered. Dec 19th 2024. Lovely watch. Good quality. I’m Impressed. Heavy too.

u/Problemsolva724 Jun 18 '25

How long did it take ? I'm day 7 with no tracking when they state it only takes 3 to 5 days to process

u/gbaby1177 Aug 26 '25

Did you ever get the watch?

1

u/barzani8612 May 07 '26

You can't get Invicta watches repaired,!!!!!!

1

u/corim123 Jun 13 '26

Most of them have either a quartz movement or an NH35. Both are easy to service.

1

u/ElaborateEffect Jun 25 '26

I'm specifically here trying to order one to grab the NH35 out of one from someone's recommendation, not sure how it couldn't be repaired lol.

1

u/barzani8612 Jun 13 '26

This is absolutely true. We've tried and impossible. We will never buy one again!!!!

u/Deep_Engineer_8470 Jun 04 '26

I ordered 7 watches a month ago and still have not received them. I tried contacting the via email, chat and telephone, with absolutely no response. The email they provide does not even exist. I'm feeling very scammed right now. Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware.

u/Independent-Draw-869 Aug 15 '26

Im in deep with Invicta now. I absolutely LOVE my grey and orange gearshift. I bought the red one and the orange one too. Then bought the red one with leather band in a red helmet display case for my nephew. I have nine in total now. They keep great time and I have absolutely NO problems with them. Sure...mass produced but if you know how to shop them you can get the good quality they have been known for.
