InvictaMen Analog Automatic Watch with Stainless Steel Strap 31290

Okay this watch brings out the haters and the lovers and the completely indifferent. All I can tell you is that the styling is not pretentious, it is robust, looks nice, works well. My daughter said she hates it as it'#s pretending to be a Rolex but I disagree, this watch seems comfortable in it's own skin/brand, yes it pays an enormous homage to a Rolex but I will never be able to afford one of those and will never but another actual fake one (bought one in Thailand that looked incredible but only lasted the duration of my trip there (about 3 months)). This watch is comfortable and I genuinely think it looks and feels nice and the automatic movement seems so far to be reliable and accurate. Maybe I'll try to update this review after a year or so of ownership to advise if it's still doing well but so far, (about 3 months now of pretty much daily wear) no complaints at all

Been looking at this watch for nearly 3 years wondering to get it as the price suggests it’s cheaply made. On arrival I am happy to state the watch has no defects and works perfectly so far. It’s a simple watch with a Japanese auto movement again cheap but reliable. The watch is nice to look at and appears nothing like the price should reflect and I think this may be why these watches got popular on release. Obviously the strap is not if good quality but that’s understandable given the selling price. All in all a excellent watch at this price point and I can’t think of anything that would beat it at the moment. Invicta have never let me down when it comes to quality against cost as what they manage to do for less that £100 is astonishing. Comparing this watch to some I’ve seen from Japanese micro brands is night and day as you won’t find any flaws or sharp edging. Yes you may get synthetic sapphire in a PD but you get the same quality as the lucky lucky man on the beach in Majorca for £10.

I have a number of Invicta watches, both electric and with automatic movements. I bought this watch because it is hard to obtain in the UK and it will be a collectors item in time. A homage to the first Rolex Submariner which was produced in 1953 (one of which I also own). This is the first Invicta watch which I have bought which gains/loses more than a few seconds a day. However, a watchmaker will be able to adjust the watch if one finds it's accuracy unacceptable. Otherwise, the finish is great, the build quality is very good and it really is waterproof; certainly to about 70 feet. I have not done deeper in it. Basically, tghe watch does everything a freal "quality" divers watch does, for a fraction of the price.

Wow what a beautiful watch, a homage to the Rolex Submariner 6204 from 1953 it really is an elegant piece. It has the Seiko NH-35A automatic movement, which is very accurate (I have two within +/-5 secs per day) and at this price something of a bargain. The bracelet is quite good, nice thick links but let down by hollow endlinks and a pressed clasp but again it's not an expensive watch. It looks fantastic on an Oysterflex style rubber strap which are very comfortable. The lume is poor but that's my only minor criticism, the 31290 is a great looking watch, buy one if you can find one.

Thought I'd check out the hype for just over 100 bucks. Everything aligns. Keeps great time. Great bezel action with no back play. Cool vintage looks. Only downside is no saphire crystal, but then again neither did the '53 Rolex it's based upon. I don't do metal bracelets so swapped it on to vintage leather straight away. The only Invicta you'll ever need. Overall highly delighted at the price.

This 1953 Invicta is a great retro looking "homage" watch for no money, I paid £125 all in for it, arrived from the USA within 8 days, it comes on a bracelet but I have changed that for a brown leather Italian strap since the original Rolex Submariner was first released on such a strap, it looks great, by no means the most expensive of my watch collection but a highly recommended addition for the money.

very good time keeper looks good

A really well finished watch with outstanding value for money. Very good timekeeping. A fantastic classic homage.
