Shitter watch, invicta airman is not a quartz watch, and it should never be. It's a real shame Invicta bought glycine, a brand with true heritage. Fuck you Invicta marketers, designers and directors.
Invicta uses some perfectly fine movements, they have used Seiko, Miyota and Swiss Ronda and even ETA, it's not the movements, it's the watch itself, regulation of the movements, and overall QA, in my opinion...
Glen8i get the quartz movements are fine, i'm just saying it's not their market, the watches are cheap enough. Doing cheaper quartz watches right now just confirms the change of direction that invicta management is making. It was the moment to prove they would not destroy their lineup, and that-s exactly what they-re doing.
Joelf15Also worth noting watchgooroo has actual customer support - ie. if you buy an Airman auto, she will check that all the hands align properly before sending it to you...
Ok. So I bought this in the August drop. Received it some time in September. Today is November 5, and it's stopped working. I assumed it was just the battery went to have it changed. Battery still works but the movement is stuck up. Hour hand is stuck on 3 and won't move. Even if I pull the crown and manually adjust it. I'm in the Philippines and the nearest glycine service center is in hong Kong. I'm so pissed about this MD
Yea. Sent it to the glycine service center in Hong Kong. They gave me the number to the invicta service center. Left the watch there. They'll get back to me in a week.
Original Glycine only made Swiss automatic, which was respectable as a second tier Swiss watch went. Since then it was purchased by Invicta, no thanks with their designs, and it seems they are using Glycine once good name to profit from it. Google Glycine with Invicta, you will see they are selling Glycine automatic watches at “50%” off (psst! Jomashop is even cheaper)...Anyway I also googled the Ronda Swiss quartz, surprising you can get one for $35.00 . So here is my guess, Invicta is testing to use everything else parts of Glycine and make it a “monster“ watch with quartz instead. I’d check out prices of discounted automatic Glycine models (Jomashop, Amazon,...others) bf making a decision on this one. I think I will pass on this “exclusive” deal.
Massdrop says "Proven Swiss Quality".. Yeah sure.. This is my watch right out of the box with missalignment issue. Don't buy this piece of junk, you will then deal with warranty on your time and cost.
slawI also had trouble with a misaligned hour hand on an Airman purist.
But I submit that this particular watch is unlikely to suffer from the same problem!
Is the 8mm thickness accurate?? It doesn't look like an 8mm thick watch (with rotating bezel). As noted in other comments this doesn't appear to be anywhere else on the internet. Some of the previous comments are from a different watch drop (photo posted 10w ago).
Ew. Airman by name only. I really don’t like this trend away from what I have found to be the most functional GMT dual time zone watch out there. A watch like this should wear another name.
If this has got a screw down crown I'll buy it. Anyone know?
On second thoughts, the numbers on the bezel should have been 24H numbers 13/14/15/16/17 etc, why the hell repeat 1/2/3/4/5 on the outside bezel when they're already on the dial??
I'll wait till these manufacturers get some common sense before I buy😩
