In today’s article I wanted to put together an Invicta watches review for you. Invicta are a massive watch brand that focuses on affordable and stylish timepieces.

I’ll be taking a look at the question “are Invicta watches good?”, teaching you a bit about the history of Invicta watches and where Invicta watches are built. Then I’ll finish things off with an overview of some of the best Invicta watches currently available.

Are Invicta Watches Good?

So are Invicta watches actually good? That’s what you’ll find a lot of people wondering to themselves. Of course, many of their timepieces are available for under 100$.

They’re a very affordable watch brand so it’s understandable to be a little wary of them. Let’s take a deeper dive into the Invicta brand and what’s available.

They do have an extensive range of watches available. Some of their greatest collections include the extremely popular Pro Diver collection, the Speedway collection and the Aviator collection. Many watches in these ranges are somewhat low cost. How and why is that?

Invicta is something of a Marmite brand, some people love them, others hate them. It’s unlikely you’ll find many watch snobs who are big fans of the brand. That’s because they’re mass produced and opt for more affordable parts, like the VD53 quartz movement. The VD53 is an accurate and reliable Japanese made movement, it’s mass produced and affordable.

On the other hand, there’s lots of people which will tell you how brilliant their Invicta watch is and how happy they are with it. They’re well built, stylish timepieces with a focus on affordability, this obviously appeals to the mass market well.

History Of Invicta Watches

The Invicta brand has its roots in Switzerland where they began in 1837. Watchmaker Raphael Picard built the company up with his family producing high end, quality Swiss mechanical watches. They even had recognition from some of the biggest brands in the business like Omega and Rolex.

Along came the 1970s and the quartz crisis that rocked the industry. Quartz timekeeping changed everything, you could now get a highly accurate and reliable watch much cheaper than ever before. Brands had to adapt to survive, something Invicta eventually excelled at after quite a few troubling years.

These days the company has its headquarters in Florida, United States. They produce watches all over the world, some of which are still built in Switzerland.

Where Are Invicta Watches Made

Invicta mentions its Swiss heritage alot, and many think of them being a Swiss watch brand but in reality that’s not entirely true anymore. While it’s fair to say a substantial amount of their watchmaking is done in Switzerland, many of their more affordable watches originate in Asia now. This is just how the industry goes, rarely do affordable and Swiss made comes together these days.

Best Invicta Watches

To finish things off we’re going to be taking a look at some of the best Invicta watches currently available. These are many of the top selling Invicta timepieces from their popular ranges like the Invicta Pro Diver series and the Invicta Speedway collection.

Powering the Invicta 6981 is a Japanese made VD53 quartz chronograph movement. There is some misinformation around the internet mentioning a Swiss movement, but that’s incorrect.

A flamefusion crystal glass offers a good level of protection against scratches and shattering, it’s on a similar level to a mineral crystal glass lens.
