    What's the deal with this watch brand, they are regularly advertised as having retail prices between 1 and 2 grand but on sale for 100's.
    I have been looking at the 'attached' & would appreciate some constructive feedback if anyone has any info. Thanks

    They have over-inflated RRPs so the likes of Amazon can endlessly have them on "sale" with what seem like massive discounts. I think a good few of their quartz models use a Ronda movement, which is supposed to be decent enough.

    I just had a quick look at Amazon while I was typing this, and sure enough they're selling loads reduced from over £400 to £85.

    Edit:

    Not to sound too negative, they have a wide range of designs - some of which look quite nice. If you get one for a decent price, and you're not fooled into thinking that you've snapped up an absolute bargain, then you could do worse.

    The one you're looking at is massive though, and I think quite pricey at £330. A 52mm watch is way over what I'd wear myself, and I like bigger watches. I'd definitely make sure to try one on rather than get one over the internet without trying it.

    Invicta also sell some quite decent automatic chronographs with the Swiss Valjoux 7750 or a Seiko movement ...for half (or less) of the price of other brands with the same movements.

    If their designs weren't so big, bold and brash (but mostly BIG), I'd be all over them.

    example of a Seiko powered chrono:
