A few years ago I wouldn't ever think of buying an Invicta.  We bought 2 of our kids an Invicta and they turned out to work so well that we bought 3 more.  This Christmas we just bought two more (this one and a ladies modle).  My wife has had hers for 1.5 years and it is still working great.  No problems.  She has over a dozen watches that are way more expensive, but her Invicta is water resistant to 100M and she loves to use it while swimming and working around water.
