Is Invicta a good watch brand?
Mostly no. A few Invicta models, above all the Pro Diver, are decent value at their real selling price, but the brand runs on inflated list prices, constant discounts and homages of other brands' designs.
Below, the numbers behind that: 8 current Invicta watches we've measured, what they use inside, and what they sell for once they're used.
What Invicta does well
- The Pro Diver offers a Seiko NH35 automatic and a classic dive design for very little
- Wide availability and frequent sales
What to watch out for
- List prices are inflated; judge the street price, not the 'discount'
- Many models are oversized and heavily styled
- Resale value is low
Is Invicta a luxury brand?
No. Invicta's list prices can run into the thousands, but its watches routinely sell for a fraction of that. It is a budget brand, revived in Florida in 1991 under a name dating to 1837.
