 Invicta Warranty September 22, 2008
After 6 weeks this watch started to malfunction. Called Invicta to inquire about the warranty to learn that a check for $35.00 must accompany the watch to obtain service. Ridiculous to pay such an amount on a $99.00 watch after 6 weeks. I shipped it back to Amazon and while I was penalized 20% for a return made after 30 days of purchase I am happy to be rid of it. I would not purchase this brand.
Nice Looking Sizeable Watch! September 17, 2008
Very happy with the watch itself. Seems to be a bargain at this price. Unfortunately My band broke and I do not know where to purchase another one. Good Luck!
Invicta's shipping and handling a Rip-Off September 14, 2008
Eagerly purchased to 8926 for only $95.00. It looks and feels like a much more expensive watch. It runs pretty fast, about 3 or 4 minutes a week. After wearing it for only six weeks, a link in the band keeps popping out. Invicta wants over 20% of the purchase price for shipping even though its only a few bucks via UPS. You truly get what you pay for.
 Great watch at a great price, free gift to top it off... September 9, 2008
The watch itself looks nice, looks durable (I've only had it for about a month or so) and I've gotten compliments already. The Invicta Gear Collection Backpack was a nice gift, an $82 dollar value if you purchase it by itself.
I'm not much of a watch person, I don't need it for the time (I check my centro for that) which this one does well, but I like it because of its appearance and it goes nice with my graduation ring.
Very nice watch, affordable price and well I at least got a gift, right now I think you get a football with your purchase. I even got the Platinum warranty by sending Invicta my Amazon receipt with the form that came with the watch for free, so 5 years of warranty for FREE. Good deal if you ask me. 5 Stars!
 Turned out okay in the end September 9, 2008
I had a long customer service saga with Invicta itself on this one. Sent the original watch back twice to be fixed for a minor defect, which I discovered after the Amazon return period expired. They eventually sent me a replacement, but it had a broken bracelet, which they then replaced separately. The replacement watch was gaining 80 seconds a day, and I learned to regulate it myself rather than send it back yet again. I'm completely serious about that, although it would have been a better idea to pay a professional to do it.
What I've ended up with is actually quite a good watch for the money. It now keeps time to within a couple of seconds a day, actually averaging out gains and losses for very little net change. The case and bracelet are very good quality, and overall, it's quite attractive.
Two quibbles still. The date magnifier is just slightly off center, just enough to be a slight annoyance once you notice it. The uni-directional bezel moves stiffly, and occasionally sticks. Compared to the timing bezels I have on other watches, some of them pretty cheap, this is sub-par.
On the whole, though, I've ended up with a pretty good mechanical watch for not too much money. Most people probably won't get a defective watch, as I did initially, and if you're not happy with the accuracy, a watch repairman can regulate it for you to be very good indeed. There's nothing wrong with the movement, but as was pointed out to me by someone else on a horology forum, for $100, Invicta isn't going to adjust it that much in their factory. They probably just get a shipment of the movements in from Miyota, stick them in the cases, and figure that most of them will be accurate enough for most people.
If you decide to adjust it yourself, and end up breaking it, don't say I didn't warn you; I just got lucky!
