Likewise, just flowing with the usual gripes, haha, despite my affection for the brand. They do surprise, at times.
I have a COSC model, for example, that uses the same basic movement of a "superquartz" although Breitling does spruce up their version. But, for less than two hundred bucks, compared to a few thousand, at least, with Breitling, it's a dead accurate quartz piece. Chris Ward also uses the same movement, but charges a lot more (I have that version, as well).
Funny story though, Invicta does not provide the actual COSC Certificate, despite the watch having a COSC Certification number assigned. I guess my point is that people have a basis for doubt, I suppose, based on past foibles. Given the price point, I don't complain, but, for a watch from them with given claims of high value elements, and a high price tag, I'd likely put my pennies elsewhere.
I mean, to spend a lot, at all, for an Invicta, and then open up the case and see NOT the movement you thought you paid for, inside, for example, is why I personally don't choose to spend big with them. Other brands do the same, but at least advise that you could be getting one movement, or another (ETA or SW). I think they've cleaned up their act, a lot, since issues came to light (even pulling "Swiss Made" off of dials where they had fudged the facts) but, yes, doubts remain in plunking down a lot for big claims.
What's the old adage -- extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, or something?
