[@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.

Teddy, before my 95 year old mother-in-law went into a nursing home, she lived alone and was taken to the cleaners by QVC. The last month before she had her heart attack, they got to her for a little over $16,000.00, no exaggeration. We audited her accounts and in the prior two years she paid $209,750.00, to QVC. They were sending two of everything and naturally billing for two of everything.

Didn't you sue?

[@michaels8607]

That had nothing to do with QVC,that was just someone who was a horrible consumer..period..If you paid that much to ANY company and were not wealthy yourself as a result,that's called a sucker.

[@LifeAccordingtoMaria]

Why was she not supervised with her spending at that age? Unfortunately, I heard from a co-worker whose Mom was the same way, she would sit in front of the TV and call the sales line just to talk to a live person for interaction and then be sold all sorts of stuff. My co-worker would intercept the packages and send them back and try to refund the money. His Mom had dementia and didn't even remember that she has ordered anything or had made these calls. Very sad.

[@russellgutmann7960]

I’ll be honest, my first watch I bought when starting my collecting was an Invicta mechanical. Was i on a cruise and fell for the “hot deal watch sale”? Yup. A $40 Vintage Mechanical with a brown strap, thinking it was a stellar deal (and not knowing much about invicta). Howeverrrrr….it gets more compliments than my any of the top tier watches in my collection 5 years later. Learned 2 lessons. 1) Almost everyone lies about price. 2) Almost no one has a clue about watch brands outside of enthusiasts😅 love the video, keep up the fantastic channel 🙌🏼

[@roadswrenches3198]

My gateway drug was Stauer. Similar concept to Invicta if you ask me. I still own 2 Stauer watches. One I recently sold was my most complimented watch. It was a piece of junk, but it looked nice. I received a compliment almost every time I wore it. But with my Omega, zero compliments haha

[@notorcus]

my first watch was a 47mm invicta. it was not the pro diver or sub styled at all I got asked many times if it was a rolex. made me feel real good for a 15 year old, but later on I realized what your second point. So I now buy cartier. jewelry brand, everyone knows em, or so I thought. Got asked if it was a citizen. I didn't even know citizen made square watches lol.

[@danonthestrings]

I mean for 40 bucks you can't really fault a mechanical watch too much even if it's an Invicta, the issue is when they charge 150-200 and more for a 10 buck watch.

[@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.

[@roadswrenches3198]

12 years ago, I worked for a guy who lived for this stuff. It was a classic car dealership, and the owner was a big watch collector. He claimed to own Rolex, Breitling, and several other well known brands, but he never wore them. He also claimed to have over 400 Invicta watches. I’m not sure about the other brands, but I believe his Invicta claim, because every day he wore a different gaudy, massive Invicta watch. When he got a new Invicta (a couple times per month) he would wear it in and talk about how revolutionary or exclusive it was. He would literally take the day off (therefore not opening his business and causing me to stay home, not work, and not get paid) so he could watch QVC to get the latest Invicta release. I finally quit because of this. But he used to tell me all the time to go on QVC to get an Invicta watch because of what a great deal they were. I’m so glad that I never listened to him. The real head scratcher for me was when he claimed that his Invictas were better quality than his Rolex watches. I get that Rolex has its fair share of haters, but as a watch lover you can’t honestly make me believe that an Invicta will the better watch. Sadly, my old boss was incredibly vain, and put so much emphasis on outward appearances. We’re talking 2010 here when the classic and muscle car markets were hurting. His business was hurting. He lived in a condo with his wife and daughter which wasn’t in a very safe neighborhood. He would come to work crying about how he wanted to buy a house but couldn’t afford one, but there would be a shiny new 60mm Invicta on his wrist. His wife never failed to remind him daily how he “blew” money he won in a lawsuit to buy a business instead of buying a house in Franklin Lakes - by the way, I’ve been to gorgeous homes in Franklin Lakes; beautiful homes with a long, gated driveway full of luxury cars, but when you walk inside there were folding tables and folding chairs… that would be my boss and his wife… outward appearances - Anyway, he’d come to work in his BMW, Invicta watch, and designer leather briefcase. His wife would drive in some time between 12pm and 3pm in her Mercedes with her designer hand bag, designer sunglasses, and $10 Starbucks drink. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this… unless you have a failing business and are financially struggling. In hindsight, Invicta was the perfect watch for him. Flashy on the outside, but what’s going on under the hood?

[@drrightwing4435]

QVC doesn’t sell invicta

[@stamatispelekanos650]

A high quality Swiss made Rhonda automatic movement is what’s going on in the inside. Or at least that is what is going on in my Invicta.

[@old-red]

To think that Invicta’s only worth is it’s outside value is dismissing perhaps their greatest asset: value. Invicta does for $100 what so many watch companies do for $500-$1000 do yet that’s a reason not to like them? Talk about outward appearances.

[@DarynRod]

I remember my cousin telling me about his Invicta watch and how it was super expensive and limited. I had a one of my GShocks on, that cost a bit more than his "Luxury" piece. Asked to see it and noticed the second hand was missing. It was loose under the crystal. Lol. I asked if he paid extra for the liberated indicator? He didn't think it was too funny. Few weeks later he shows up with a new watch, GShock this time. Points for that. Said it was super expensive again... it was the 5600E... (no hate, I have two 😃) and that it was crush proof. Told him. No it isn't. But close. Lol. He proceeds to take it off his wrist, set it on the work bench (we were at work) and beat it with a hammer. Naturally, he cracked it open. I just turned around and walked off. Didn't want to rub anything in. Ended up giving him one of my other Casios on the condition that he treat it like a watch and not peacock it.

@@TheTransitmtl with that said, why? why “pay a little more” they’re all submariner knock offs….all of them. price doesn’t make them better or worse. It’s hilarious, seiko even whores out their movements to anyone who wants it, yet Invicta gets shit on over it. Seiko also buys generic bands with hollow end links and throws them on…and gets away with it. Is it because you’d rather it not say invicta on the side so people have a harder time distinguishing it from the more expensive brand? For instance, Timex is a cheap watch. They throw in a nh35 or a miyota and all of a sudden it’s a $300-400 watch? At least Invicta is keeping their actual price real even though we all know they bump up their MSRP. IMO, the reason invicta bumps up their msrp is to bring it in line with the watches with similar aspects and movements that get away with the higher price for some reason. Like I said, at least you don’t have to actually spend the money for the same watch. Finally, Invicta makes some huge watches, but people buy them. No one is making anyone buy them, if anything question the person that likes them rather then the company that fills their need

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.

However, I wish I would have done a little more research before I bought the watch. I should taken my time and done some research. But, you don’t know till you know. I’m sure that’s how they get people to buy these. Until I started REALLY looking into watches did I discover that you can purchase a nice, quality watch like an Orient, Seiko, etc. for just a little more money. I’m not sure what the real watch industry could do to better educate consumers. I just think there is a general societal thought that quality watches cost thousands of dollars and are only for the super rich.
