With your evaluation of Invicta, my guess is that the "dozen different models" you have selected are the "cream" of the Invicta crop.  :great:

The key there is "discount brand". They make very little on each watch so they have to push volume for their model to work which is why all the different models and continual reinvention of models. The fact their assembly point is in Panama helps keep their costs way down and they buy parts in huge volumes to get further discount.


Like em or not they seem to be doing OK.
Man with one watch knows time, a man with two watches is never sure.

Sadly, yes, though, even so, it's a bit of an oxymoron.

While one can obviously have personal preference on a brand or another, the fact is that it is too general to give a proper judgement on the whole brand.  I think that one should look at the specific model rather then just the brand.  I find most Invictas rather wild in terms of design and un-appealing to me.  However the only one I had, one of the ones with the Seiko movement, was actually not bad and comparably cheap.  I don't know how they do it but that was surely worth the meager amount of money asked.  Heck, the price is just a little more then the regular price of a Seiko movement alone...
