I know it's nothing special but it looks decent enough.
Haven't worn it for long enough to know how well it keeps time. Usually wind it up and wear it for one night...

That's kinda the same boat I would be in. Have it, wear it on occasion.
Glad to hear you don't have any complaints about it though.

Nice, thats why I never got into watches even though I want to. It would prevent me from getting the cigars I "NEED".
I think that Shark Diver looks much better with the bracelet just gotta use your right hand more so your left arm doesn't get more muscular from carrying that thing around!

Here is a Seiko (Jap Quartz) I like and it looks like it can be found under $100.
I would prolly change the band if possible, but I really like the watch.

You should be able to get a bracelet with endlinks for that watch.

That is what I was hoping, it is a nice looking cheap watch. I think slowly I will aquire better watches. Hopefully each watch will be nicer than the last.

Thanks Ron. I have an invicta that my wife bought that I love and does not feel cheap so thanks for the pointer Although I am looking for a cheaper watch to have for work.

I like to do it the other way around; buy watch with a bracelet and then buy a strap.

Well thats my point. I have many invictas and are all solid as a rock! This one however is delicate and chincy. I wouldnt use it for any work, just sayin. It WILL break

I agree. My girlfriend's Invicta is heavy and well finished. Surface for surface, it is polished and brushed on par as any big name watch you can mention (at least on her watch); Brietling, Omega, Rolex... It's certainly not one of those watches, but the outside is pretty darn close.

Someone in the watch industry said (for Stainless Steel), that the case, dial and bracelet is about 10% the watch's value. With Invicta, they put in a cheap movement and keep the outside pretty nice.

Do they use the same movement in all their watches or do they have better and worse moevements available? The reason I ask is because they have so many different watches with prices that vary a ton.
