[@thomasrocker7408]

Just a little reality check. I have a very extensive watch collection. Including Rolex, Mavado, Bulova, Omega, etc. The absolute best brand I own is Aragon. The second best brand I own is Invicta. The reason being is that they keep the best time. And I'm pretty sure that that is the point. My daily watch is an Aragon 50mm anti Gravity that has not lost a second in 2 years. Oh and I only own mechanical automatics. So to each his own, but to ridicule someone who knows a good watch when the see one is just plain ignorant.

@@glumfish6862 have you checked out Aragon ( formerly Android)? The absolute best watch for the money. My daily watch is an Aragon 50mm Anti Gravity automatic. It has not lost a second of time since I've been wearing it. Absolutely magnificent watch. I'm not a big fan of big clunky watches, but about 3 years ago I purchased an Aragon Silver Jet dive watch. It weighs almost a pound. But you get used to the weight and it also never loses time. Aragon performs better than my $50k Rolex.

[@thomasallen3818]

I used to own a jewelry store. We sold Rolex, Tag Heuer, Oris, and Seiko watches, we also did watch cleaning and repair. I was often blown away by some of the watches people would bring in to have repaired. We would get watches from QVC and other shopping networks, and when I would tell people that their watch would cost more to repair than what they paid for it, they would go off on myself or my help like it was our fault they bought a piece of junk. And, those big watches with either a Japanese or Chinese quart movement, when you open the case back, you find a tiny cheap movement held in place by a huge chunk of plastic. But, people think they’re getting a great deal when they buy from their television channels. Go figure.

Also, they’ve built a negative reputation for their quality (lower quality builds and gaudy oversized monstrosities of watches) and business practices (overpriced unrealistic MSRP’s and copycats beyond what a homage is) so it will be very hard for Invicta to bounce back from that reputation among the watch enthusiast community. Common people that don’t know much about watches don’t really know better and they are the #1 type of people that Invicta sells many of their watches to. That’s your average 52mm watch guy you see around.

[@justaguitarplayer7512]

Actually, I went on a cruise with my parents when I was younger and believe it or not, they did sell watches and other jewelry. My parents did end up buying me an invicta! It was a “gold” pro diver, and I’m assuming it was like a 38mm because I remember it was a smaller fit. I actually really liked it, it was automatic. I lost it somewhere along the line but actually looked for it a few years ago. It was cool for what it was, a sub lookalike, and younger me loved it!

Laugh at them, but they probably sold thousands of "Chaps" watches during the segment. If you don't know the QVC audience, it is not about the product or specs, it is about the relationship between the the announcer and the viewer. These announcers have usually been on for many years and to the audience, they are more than a talking head, but a trusted "friend". When I worked for a mobile phone maker, we used to dump cheap phones on the channel, add a car charger and a case and they would sell out. One time we sold 10k phones in 15 minutes. We put on a salesman, who was there to talk specs, but it was the announcer who sold it to their audience.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Teddy, the first and third videos were QVC, the second and fourth were Shop HQ. The two channels are owned by two different companies and are competitors. Shop HQ was heavily invested in with millions of dollars by Invicta Watch Group and Shop HQ signed an exclusivity contract with Invicta. That’s why that channel constantly features Invicta watches and mostly nothing else. If you look on Shop HQ’s site/app you can see they do offer great watch brands such as Tissot, Hamilton, Rado, Mido, Glycine, Seiko, Bulova, Citizen, Franck Muller, Gevril and Alpina. But you will never see any of these on TV because of Invicta’s contract and huge investment into Shop HQ and this influences common people that are not watch enthusiasts not being exposed to these great brands we love and instead exposed highly to the monstrosities offered by Invicta. Another thing, I’ve watched Shop HQ before and and because they are on air so much selling huge invictas, the sales hosts on the show (especially the women) make comments about 40mm watches as “a watch for the ladies” or “this would look good with a dress” even when the watch is not branded as a ladies watch. That’s because of the oversized Invicta watch culture that has infected all the hosts on that network.

@@jimbeam4111 have you even seen an Aragon watch? Some of the best looking, most dependable watches in the world. And the owner of Aragon, Wing Liang, is considered one of the best watch designers in the world. And he is always available to help his customers. He is the perfect example of how a business should be run. Do you know how many hoops you have to jump through to get any service from Rolex? It took them almost a year to service and repair my 42,000 dollar Rolex and I had to pay for shipping both ways. And quite frankly, if I hadn't inherited the Rolex, I never would have bothered. Rolex of course is a highly respected watch company, but my beautiful Aragon 50mm Anti Gravity is just as beautiful and runs even better. And to me time accuracy is the most important part of a watch.

I almost give HSN and QVC a pass because they rarely sell men's watches and when they do the hosts know nothing about them. But ShopHQ bills itself as the foremost TV watch seller. But 99% of all watches they present are Invictas. And most current Invictas are hideous. Many years ago they actually had presenters who spoke of watch construction, movements water resistance and the like. And there were a great variety of vendors. And please show me ONE person who ever paid retail for a watch! If you're selling it for $199, don't tell me it's a $3,000 watch. It's a $199 watch! Sorry but I do get wound up on this subject.

[@IslenoGutierrez]

Sad thing is, Shop HQ on their app/site offers great watches like Tissot, Hamilton, Mido, Rado, Seiko, Glycine, Alpina, Gevril, Franck Muller etc. but you never see these watches on the channel because Invicta invested millions into Shop HQ and signed an exclusivity contract with them and all you see in the channel are invictas. So lots of I unknowledgeable people are not seeing those great brands and are only seeing those invictas.

Being someone who buys and wears Invicta I can honestly say not everything they make is good looking or worth buying. Stick with their 40-46mm size watches depending on your preference and try not to go over that $399 mark if you can avoid it. One of my favorite Invicta’s is the Ocean Master with the Seiko NE88 that I bought around $300.

I know your bag on Invicta, a lot, over the years I have made thousands of dollars on Invicta years ago. Their movements used to have a Valjoux, ETA and I would get these watches for literally pennies and then later sell them for hundreds of dollars. I would sell the Valjoux for anywhere from seven to $1200, some of your ETA I would repurpose them in other watch cases and do custom builds, so yes you can make money off in invicta

Shop HQ/Evine are correct with their lowest price it will ever be claim.

You are correct! Got the model 26970 looks like the Rolex submariner. But the tag says $475 and they sell it for $75.

[@karlsenula9495]

I believe ShopHQ has had Bulova on recently - which is a quality company. I do watch these shows occasionally (guilty pleasure like watching the Real Housewives or Big Brother for others) - never bought one (because of informative online youtube videos on what to look out for - specs - when buying watches as well as learning of all the alternatives out there). A lot of whether the price they are asking is worth it or not depends on the specs and details - crystal, bracelet, movement etc.

Riddle me this ... give Invicta grief but from the last clip what other watch company does a stainless & silicone combo bracelet? Look I don't own an Invicta, don't like the overly large size, don't like the over branding on the watch, don't like the often gawdy designs and as Teddy pointed out the 'retail price' (even what you get at the sale price isn't top notch compared to other watches with similar or better specs - and I do buy well speced Aliexpress watches) and faux 'mark downs' turn me off. But I do give Invicta credit on three points; 1) the promotion and marketing is top notch ... Rolex doesn't have their own TV channel or Rolex Cruise ... 2) their styles and sizes have a niche market and sell a ton of watches ... and 3) their designs while often too large and gawdy for me are innovative and look like nothing else out there.

QVC was a late night staple in the 80's when all the major tv stations quit broadcasting content at midnight. I was a night owl so it was at least something- VHS was still pretty new and a VCR was expensive. I also read a lot. No one knew of the internet it was in it's infancy. Still I was able to resist the siren song of QVC. Maybe it was because I made $4.50 an hour and could barely afford toilet paper

I am wearing an Invicta model 5250 All Stainless. Has Day (Friday) right now at 12 o'clock. At 3 o'clock it has the date. Black face luminous hands/numbers sweeping second hand. It has an outer ring/dial that you can turn/set but I never use that feature. It's water tight to 330 feet or 100 meters. My son gave it to me 9 years ago and it's my everyday watch. In 9 years the only thing I ever did was change out the battery. Between Battery changes I never have to touch it as far as the time goes except when we change from DST to EST. Or the date when month does not have 31 days. It keeps perfect time all the time. One thing I like is it does not start to change the day or date till the last hour of that day. Other 's will start to change the day date at 9 PM so by 10:30 or so you don't know what day/date it is, at least by that watch. I think he bought it new on ebay but I know he did not by it from any TV shows/shopclubs. It's a very dependable sharp looking watch. What more do you need for every day time telling wear? Just my 2 cents.
