The Invicta gets rave reviews on Amazon -

But, a lot of hardcore Rolex fans don't like it because it looks exactly the same as their $10,000 watch, only it costs like $70. And a lot of unsuspecting people think the Invicta is a really expensive watch because the Rolex submariner is so popular and the Invicta looks exactly like the submariner (and tells time 99.9999% the same as well). So, the Invicta sometimes gets an unwarranted "prestige boost" by riding on the coattails of the submariner.

The thing is, if you're actually going to subject the watch to water, the Rolex probably performs better. But, most people I know with pro diver watches actually don't dive
I saw it after I looked it up, I have to admit.

that watch has never been on my radar being a $70 watch, so I never saw it.

it's too small and plain for me, but I guess it's an ok watch...

and if that is the ONLY Invicta that is trying to be a Rolex, than that's good, because Invicta has tons of models in their collection, my favorite being the Bolt-Zeus, then the Venom, then the new Subaqua Noma V.
