As a watch collector of over 30 years I can tell you there is one hell of a lot of difference between a watch for $10 and one for $200. cheap crap quartz movement, non water resistant, plastic cased will last you about 6 weeks, this Invicta is a fully certified dive watch with a swiss automatic movement. The only way they can do it for this price is by selling the cheapo ones to idiots and making a loss on the proper watches. i know loads of people with Invicta dive watches who are extremely impressed with build quality and reliability. I bought one so i can wear it on holidays to places where an expensive watch is a liability. barcelona during the festival in september. If someone has this off my wrist i've not lost much, but if they had an omega off me i would be well and truly pissed. really look forward to getting this watch from a very underrated brand and seeing what it's like.

g99huttonI agree with you on most of your points, including that they make a decent beater watch, but do you honestly think Invicta is "making a loss on proper watches", which I presume is in reference to this model? And this watch most certainly isn't a fully certified dive watch, unless you consider Invicta slapping the term "Pro Diver" on it as a form of certification.

the.watchdocFor practical ( and not formal purchases) I would run a water rest and see what happens to it. It's likely many Chinese-made watches that look like a diver will fail an actual water test. Can Invicta pro diver survive? This will tell easily

g99huttonAlso there is the Sellita version of Invicta which is actually a Swiss watch with a ETA clone. That one runs about under $300, and its bracelet is of better quality than the Japanese movement version

g99huttonI own this watch and really enjoy it but I'm fairly sure it's not a certified dive watch and as I recall the movement is a Seiko movement. Good solid reliable watch, for the money it's hard to beat.

g99huttonIf your goal is to buy a value watch that doesnt put you at risk while abroad I wouldn't buy a Rolex Submariner homage. The submariner is the most widely recognized luxury watch in the world and as such when you wear an homage it makes you a target to thieves.

Fiercekrypton That is without a doubt the DUMBEST anti-homage comment I've read this morning (I know that could change, the day is young). No self-respecting watch thief could possibly confuse an Invicta for a Rolex!!! That would be like you confusing a Victoria's Secret runway model with your wife!!!
