I switched to the Invicta Pro Diver when I got home. 😎

The "mesh rope" strap that this Invicta came with was too flimsy, and felt kind of mushy, and also like it might break or rip with extended use; so I...

My New Invicta Finally Arrived

Saw this on sale for $69, and couldn't resist. Most of the time, Invicta automatics are priced $99 and above. This has a Seiko NH35A movement in it. P...

commented on No logo on rotor for Invicta Pro Diver? ·

They were doing the yellow rotor as recently as June of 2023. Sometime after that, they stopped.

CAVEAT: The build quality on Invicta is decent. The Swiss Ronda movements, and the Japanese Seiko (TMI) Movements are both really great. No complaints.

HOWEVER, Invicta farms out their service to a 3rd party provider, which provides them with an Invicta branded service website. [LowenWatchGroup] parent company of [FixMyWatch] which is the site that Invicta uses; Whether your watch is under warranty, or not, they're going to charge you an arm and a leg for shipping. And they quibble A LOT about what is and isn't covered under warranty. You're better off taking it to a local watch repair shop, no matter if you have a warranty or not. Trust me, a lot less headaches.

I think they are doing it to cut costs.
