From my very first watch as a kid I've had tremendous bad luck with watches. I had a fairly expensive Seiko that broke 5 times in the course of less than two years. I had a pulsar where the pins in the wrist band broke every six months or so. A Triumph that got so dirty on the inside after only one year, that the cost of cleaning was double the purchase price. The list goes on.

It almost sounds like I don't take care of my watches, like I'm wearing 'em when I go dirt bike riding or something. But nothing is further from the truth. I take great care of my watches. I take them off when I sport, or work on my car. Even when I go to the beach, I leave my watch at home. The only reliable watch I've owned was a Casio. They're sturdy and the battery usually lasts at least five years. But hate their designs... they're just [...]-ugly.

But now there is Invicta.

I think I'm slowly falling in love with this company. This watch just feels that good. It's sturdy, accurate, and the design is amazing. I usually don't go for gold in watches, but it works with this one. The blue dial and silver edges elevate it from tacky to pristine. And this watch doesn't look like it's the exception. Browsing through Invicta's catalog, one original and gorgeous design follows the other. Now, I've only owned this watch for less than six months, but I'm feeling confident. This might be the one. This might be the light at the end of the tunnel.
