The Invicta has a stationary bezel with four screws and a pair of raised beveled stripes which offer protection to the durable mineral crystal. Does the Seiko boast as much?i'm not even sure still that invicta is any good as a brand.
you can get a seiko 5 automatic even for $50
Never did get the "expensive watch" mindset.
It'd be pretty ridiculous for me to buy a $500 (or even $100) watch, considering I'll end up destroying it in a couple months. I go for the $30 Wal-Mart watches. My current watch was a $30 Wal-Mart watch, and the band has been replaced 3 times, the pins twice, it has no glass anymore, and the digital center is dead due to immersion, but it still keeps mostly accurate time. It loses 5 minutes or so every couple of days.

I think I found your problem. Buy more destruction proof watch for more money. Walmart is cheap junk that falls apart on its own.
I'll never understand the wearing of watches for any reason other than fashion.

And no, having to grab your cell phone out of your pocket is not as convenient as wearing a watch.
I hate wearing jewelry/watch, but where I work we are not allow to have a cell phone due to security.Looking at a cell phone at least once an hour is sufficient to give me a close enough estimate to what time it is... unless you're just into watches, you're coordinating airplane landings or you never send or receive texts or calls I guess I just don't see the need...
I suppose I should mention that wearing jewelry or anything of the sort automatically irritates me, so there would have to be a pretty huge advantage for me to want to wear a watch.

Invicta made a really nice daytona clone a while back... probably the only watch I would buy from them.

yea, especially with everything being touchscreen these days, gotta turn on the screen to see the time. A watch actually becomes much more convenient. I was in line at Six Flags last month and noticed people tilting their heads to look at the time on my watch, rather than digging out their cell phones.
Too much "gold", these ones look better imo

I think metal bands are so 90's and tacky now. Leather is coming back.
I also have a $60 fossil watch that are more 'every day'.

Traditionally metal bands are actually considered more conservative/dressy and leather bands are considered casual. I have a book on dressing for business and it actually says not to wear leather banded watches into the office.
I think this rule is starting to break down though, as I am seeing people at all levels wearing leather banded watches at my company. And thank goodness, because I agree that metal bands look like shit.
The problem with looking at a cell phone for the time is that it can send the wrong message. I think it's terribly rude to check your phone when you're otherwise talking/interacting with someone else, and there's no way for me to know if your checking for texts or just checking the time.
A quick turn of the wrist is unambiguous: 'I'm just checking the time.' The cell phone stays in the pocket.

I'm simply just not married to my cellphone like a lot of people are. I don't need to look at the time often, but at the same time, since I don't use my phone for anything other than talking, I don't use it that often.
