Watches

Amazon is currently running a deal on Invicta Pro Diver watches. 4 different color schemes available, $99. They get pretty decent reviews. The supposed $795 retail price seems a little suspect, but for the current price it's a pretty good deal.

Sale runs through tomorrow only.

I used to swim all summer in my Swatch back in the 80's. Never leaked. All the cool kids wear 'em.

Decent automatic watch for $100 - I have one. Common knock off borrowing elements of the Rolex Sub / Omega Seamaster. Lume is pretty weak though and not good for night fishing as the lume is not bright and will not last for more than a few hours. Unless they have changed that in the last 18 months.

Damn you! That is a sweet deal, I think I just may have found what I want for my 20th anniversary.

Would you step up to the swiss movement? This would be a once in lifetime purchase. With the kids I could never justify going for a more expensive watch, although I have been coveting them for years.

The $99 one in the email they sent me has a Swiss movement. No mention of it being automatic though so I'm guessing it's battery powered. Just looked around at Amazon itself and there's a bazillion Invectas listed so I guess picking one could be a challenge.

They look nice. Somewhat of a concern to me would be the paltry 1 year warranty. If it's really a $800 value watch you'd think they could up that a bit.

The one I was talking about is model#'s 12562,12563,12564and 12565. I'll defer to John on whether this is the same one he has.

The watch is eligible for "free returns", so if you don't like it you can ship it back for free.
