INVICTA WATCHES REVIEW
AND MORE
HOW GREAT IS THE AFFORDABLE GIANT?

If you’ve owned an Invicta watch before, it was probably one of their pro divers. It’s arguably their most popular collections and one of the largest. 

We chose the Invicta Men's 6981 Pro Diver as our pick under this category. 

The watch is quite large. It has a 48 mm (1.88 inch) case which makes it one of the largest watches on our list. If you have smaller wrists, it’s only natural that you stay away from it. 

As the name suggests, this is a dive watch. It’s resistant up to 100 m (330 feet) so you can take it with you underwater. That being said, you have to be careful. The watch is ideal for swimming, even snorkeling but not for diving. The fact that it’s a dive watch but only resistant up to 330 feet is disappointing, to be honest. 

You can see that the watch is made for underwater use through its strap. It’s polyurethane and as we know, the material repels water.

It has a Japanese Quartz movement. Japanese Quartz watches are some of the most accurate out there, so you’re in good hands.

If you’re a fan of sub-dials, you’ll have a field day with the Invicta. There are 3 chronograph sub dials, one for 60 seconds, the other for 30 minutes and the third for 1/10th of a second. 

Of course, we have to talk about the watch’s appearance. It’s a mixture of deep black and gold which makes you think the watch is more expensive than it actually is. 

However, don’t expect much from its display. It isn’t sapphire or anything similar. Instead, it’s a basic mineral.

Are you a nut for airplanes? If so, the Aviator series has a number of watches related to aeronautical graphical history, so you’ll love them. Aviator watches also have specific features, making them perfect for pilots.

We just had to choose the 17203 as our Aviator pick. 

Although it’s fit for the air, you can use it underwater as the watch is water-resistant up to 100 m (330 feet). What’s more, it has a stainless steel body which means you never have to worry about corrosion.

Everything is in silver except for its dial and case. The case is rose gold. Its stainless steel body is plated with the material as well. This is a nice touch, especially considering how cheap the watch is. 

However, the watch is huge. Its case stretches 48 mms (1.88 inches) across, so keep this in mind. 

As Invicta prefers Quartz watches, the 17203 has a Japanese Quartz mechanism. If you’re a pilot, this is the best move as Quartz watches are the most accurate. 

If you can’t get enough of sub-dials, the Aviator is for you. There are 3 chronographs, one for the 60 minutes passed, the other for 60 seconds passed and the final one for 1/10th seconds. 

There’s a tachymeter that fits the theme of flying, but as a pilot, would you actually need this? And of course, there’s a fully-fledged compass you can use.

The true icing on the cake is the watch’s sapphire display so you know it can take a beating.

While the aviator collection is perfect for users that are obsessed with flying, the speedway collection is fit for racing fanatics.
 
The design of the watches makes this pretty clear as they’re sleek, chic and slim like a race car.

The watch is a vision in silver, almost pristine looking. The 40 mm (1.57 inch) case adds to its design as it’s relatively small. This time around, if you have larger wrists, stay clear. 

At this point, it’s clear that Invicta likes adding subdials to their watches. The Speedway has 3 chronographs, one for 60 minutes, the other for 60 seconds and the final one for 1/10th of a second.

The Speedway is pretty water-resistant. It can last up to 200 m (660 feet) underwater so you never have to worry about losing it in the pool.

Invicta knows how hard it is to read the time when it’s dark. This is why the watch has trinite luminous hands.

Once again, you might see a Japanese Quartz mechanism in the watch. It’s great and frankly, we have no complaints.

What’s so cool about the watch is the fact that it’s shock resistant. This makes up for the less-than-great mineral display.

It may not catch your eye at first, but there’s a calendar feature as well. It’s blended with the white dial and is near the 6 o’clock position. It showcases just the date, not the day.

What makes the watch even easier to use is the ring on the edge of the display. It lets you track the seconds passed with the watch’s third hand.

Invicta doesn’t just put out watches for men. They have some pretty great women’s watches too, especially in the Angel collection.

According to Invicta, the Angel collection defines “feminine prowess” and to be frank, we see it.

The 2184 is dainty like most women’s watches. Its case is small at 34 mm (1.33 inches). However, in the world of women’s watches, 34 mm isn’t too bad. 

The watch is a metallic vision as it’s completely plated in 18k gold. The fact that its body is high-quality stainless steel underneath helps with durability. 

The lining of its case has crystals. This makes it look regal and classy. If you didn’t know any better, the crystals and gold plating might make you think the watch is pretty expensive. 

Like all the watches we discussed, the 21384 is water-resistant. It can take a 100 m (330 feet) dip in a pool which is something that we’re a fan of. 

The fact that its display is sapphire is quite impressive. This means it can take a beating. 

The dial is a muted gold and has shiny Roman numerals. These are sparse as there are mostly gold indentations alongside the XII, III, and XVII. At the 6 o’clock position, you’ll see something special as there’s no numeral or marker, but a crystal heart. 

If you guessed that it’s a Japanese Quartz, you’re right!

Like the Angel collection, the Lupah line has watches solely for women. It’s one of the few collections that have rectangular watches.

As its case is rectangular, it’s only natural that it’s on the smaller side. The 5168 is the smallest watch on our list and its case stretches 28 mm (1.10 inches) across. 

Its dainty display is accompanied by a petite leather strap. Although we are not sure what type of leather it is, we like to think it’s Italian. 

You’d enjoy the fact that you can swap its straps out with ease. There are plenty of colour and design choices for you to choose from.
 
We can see a change in movements in the Lupah. No, it isn’t automatic (it’s too small for this anyway). Instead, it’s Swiss quartz. 

There are Arabic numerals to read the time. Frankly, this is refreshing as more watches have dials without them.

Yes, the watch is water-resistant. It can last up to 30 m (100 feet) underwater. This isn’t the best, but considering the Lupah is a dress watch, we don’t mind.
