Re: what are INVICTA like
Personally.....the words BARGEPOLE and I WOULDN'T TOUCH ONE WITH A.... spring to mind!!!
I've heard more than my fair share of bad things about their watches to make sure I never go near one!!
The other thing I've heard is that they pretty blatantly copy other watch co's designs, so for that reason too......I'm out!!
I'm sure they 'must' make a decent watch.....maybe??? ........I'm just in no hurry to find out!!

If you really want a quartz beater watch at a low price from a brand that has some 'trust' then try looking at Sekonda.JAG wrote:...to much of a manly watch...st-rider wrote:I have a suggestion for a daily beater off eBay - click linkJAG wrote:...i was thinking of getting this for Mrs J "SJW" as a beater ...
The women's stuff is under their SEKSY brand but they tend to be more dressy affairs.
Failing that another brand I have in the beater quartz category is "Royal London" = eBay search here
Plus there's always Casio. I like some of the Edifice range although likely to be again at the macho end of manly depending on the model.
Just some thoughts, Alex.
P.S. I don't knock quartz watches. I like quartz watches. In fact if you go into the history of quartz watches they are a technological marvel. I like the 20th century innovations, although the 18th century technology is nice to visit as well.

Re: what are INVICTA like
FYI there's a Sekonda click here @38mm wide about same price as the Invicta you posted about above. IMHO the white works as a ladies watch.JAG wrote:now i have to trawl the bay for a women,s diver in a quartz as a beater ...i mean 38 to 42mmst-rider wrote:If you really want a quartz beater watch at a low price from a brand that has some 'trust' then try looking at Sekonda.
Also using the search criteria 'diver 38mm' there's a Rotary to be had click link for a bit less pennies (poor photos though).
I only post these for information. I can't vouch for the sellers or watches, they're just the result of a search!
Hope it helps anyhow, Alex
P.S. can you tell I'm bored!
