What is the best $60 "beater" watch? Loreo vs Invicta Pro Diver Comparison 

Yeah but are you gonna wear the box?

Oh hell yea! Yellow has to be my least favorite colour but, Invictas boxes are very strong and nicely made.. Only 2 i bought came with a chamis. I'd swear it's suede. As is the pillow and box lining. I use one to clean my expensive Nikon lemses The box my Loreo came in isn't close to what he shows. Just cardboard

But no $1 plastic pin remover! :-) I think most watch enthusiasts who will buy even an inexpensive watch like one of these (I say enthusiasts because they aren't quartz watches) will probably have a few tools to size the bracelet already.

I have the Invicta (and the Loreo too), but I must admit that this shiny yellow box disturbs me.

This shows how much the big brands are looting us....Rolex sub should $3000 its cost of making is about $1250 even considering its history....

The Pro Diver is Invicta's most popular model not their massive ugly time pieces. The Pro Divers are very decent as good or possibly better than the Seiko 5 Sports.

Thats why invictas are so awesome, they stand out from other watch companies. I love invicta's large colorful unique watches.

I own 5 invictas from the pro diver to the so called huge ugly watches which I absolutely love but have to be in the right mood to wear them,lol but the pro diver is an awsome little watch!

Pagani Design PD 1639 is the best of them all atm!

I have a pro diver but since it was the 11-11 alli express sale I ordered a green loredo simply curious to see if it’s a good watch or if they wasted a piece of sapphire on a crappy watch? I’m not calling it crappy because I haven’t gotten it yet but I’m interested to see,,,,,,,,,I hope I shouldn’t have purchased another pro diver.lol

was it waterproof?

I have both, and the bezel of the invicta is flawless. No play at all. Althouth the finishes of the bezel look quite better on the loreo... it has a "lot" of play. Not backwards, but its like the bezel its 0,4mm larger than it should

Im not 100 percent certain, but I think a sapphire crystal costs upward of $100 \120 ,so i very much doubt the Loreo has a sapphire crystal Havent tried Loreo. I find the Invictas Automatics really good ,very reliable.

I'm pretty sure Jody at Just One More Watch actually tested it for sapphire and found that it is really is sapphire.

sd26001 I just watched that video you mention and he does use a tester to verify it’s sapphire.

@@fjones1914 Maybe some people got a Loreo with a sapphire, and some people got one without. Just like how some people get it in a nice blue box, and some get it in a padded envelope (me).

I own both too, but I had a QC problem with the Invicta : the stem went out when I pulled it !.

can I get a link plss

@@edmund8954 i don't think you can find a link for a Loreo with the newer movement, the Aliexpress store i bought mine on showcased the old movement on its pictures, but still i received the newer one

How's your Loreo holding up movement accuracy wise? Also did you purchase yours from the Loreo official store?

@@waris3732 I bought it from the WYQ store on AliExpress, movement is +15 seconds a day

@@sendastunt thanks. Thought about regulating it?

Great comments and your 3 attempts with Amazon confirms my suspicion that the quality attributes of the Invicta are being oversold. That plus if you ignore the bs coolness factor these 2 watches are actually in a dead heat.

@@cbody70 Jody is correct in saying pay no more than a base price of about $70. Beyond that there are better alternatives. They range from £65 to £125 on Amazon UK. If they just set a fixed price they would probably sell more of them.

You can tell the time better in the dark when you can see the hands rather than the numbers. With the Invicta at least you can see the hands clearer, which makes more sense.

I have the Loreo. Dont count on the lume to be useful. It gets dim pretty fast. You can still see the pips with dark adjusted eyes (albeit very faint), but you can't see the hands.

That’s largely due to invictas release of the 1953 which I was lucky enough to get one before the prices tripled

@@brianbuchert6382 Well said and lucky you getting your hands on that cool watch!

How is it working for you?

Mine is about 35 seconds fast

How's your Loreo holding up? Movement accuracy wise And could you throw in links to AliExpress on the clasps you've bought/considered? Thanks

How's the loreo holding up? Movement accuracy wise

I was lucky enough to get the 1953 for $150 now they are going from $250-$350

@@brianbuchert6382 oh lucky you 😎👍🏽

How's your Loreo holding up movement wise? Is it a constant deviation in a day or does it depend from day to day?

Completely right, Invicta delivered to UK for example including taxes is 90 USD, not 70.

They sell them on Amazon in the UK. Somebody keeps stock here because I replaced mine three times in as many days. They are normally between £80 and £100 but can drop as low as £60 ($74) still a half decent watch for that money.

@@S-Ltd1000 when I order to Poland shipping + tax is +20£...

I dont think the word "infinitely" is the word you wanted to use

@@rikardocarvalho I've owned both. I sold the Invicta, it had infinitely zero appeal to me.

​@@TimothyMoore they are both submariner homages, pretty much the same. Kinda of strange that one pleases you SO much and the other doesnt. At least to the point that you put them so apart. To my eyes, maybe loreo seems a littleeee bit superior regarding finishing quality (mine is brand new). That bezel insert looks better made and it has a better lume. (lets forget the sapphire because is not a visible feature). But my invicta has a more accurate movement, and has a super tight bezel. no play at all. The loreo bezel has some play that makes me nervous :). the magnifier is also crappy in the Loreo. The bracelet in the Loreo also doesnt fitd so well between the lugs, underneath the bezel there is some space that shouldnt exist. Oh.. the Invicta coin edge bezel its a little bit bigger, which stands out more and has a better grip. All in all... some has better things than the other and vice-versa. I Can't choose one

@@rikardocarvalho The movement in My Loreo is very accurate. like -3/day. Whereas the Invicta would lose 2-3 minutes in 12 hrs. As far as the bezel on the Loreo, I agree, but mine hasn't fallen off yet and I replaced the insert with a ceramic insert shortly after I got the watch. The bracelet fit mine well, no gaps, and the finish is very good. I have the Black PVD'd version. The two things about the Loreo that I prefer mostly over the Invicta are: A. Sensible branding. The Invicta looks stupid with the logo replicated all over the watch. B. The rehaute on the Loreo is much swallower. The Invicta rehaute makes the watch feel like it has a tiny movement inside whereas the rehaute on the Loreo looks like there's a robust movement inside. The STP-11 is a great movement with Swiss DNA even if it's a Chinese rep.

Excellent point.

Yeah, the 8926OB

How is the water resistance after opening the watch?

I didn't test it before or after. I don't plan on swimming with it. The case back had a substantial rubber gasket and tightened snugly with a case wrench.

@@ronaldspencer547 So you buy a dive watch but won't swim in it. It's like buying a pair of shoes but don't walk in them AHAH

@@MenacedAssassin Ummm no, it's not. He's still using it as a watch. It would be like buying a pair of Nike's designed for basketball but not playing basketball in them. Which is every bit as normal and common as buying a dive watch but not using it to swim/dive.

Wow, zero. Better than Rolex, Patek or Lange. Congrats! Send it to COSC, your Invicta will win any competition with swiss brands.

How long have you been using it for? And have you ever needed to service it? I was wondering how long of a lifetime it has because I'm thinking of buying one for myself

@@SuranTube i brought this on 2019 Feb month and its working pretty well and no service yet. Due to lockdown i didn't use it and whenever i want to use i just set time and use it. One min up or down. But great thing still no issues and working great

@@97910466xx That's great to know. I appreciate the reply!

Don P don't waste a nickel. Waste hundreds of dollars on them watches

The Seagull is a ETA clone.

How accurate is your watch movement wise?

Get the Loreo shark series instead. It come with a miyota 8215.

Same I love all 5 of my invictas and I love the pro diver but can’t wait till the loreo gets here

They're both aluminum inserts so they will probably dent and scratch about the same

I just ordered my loreo on a nato strap from the company instead of the ss bracelet just because I like to switch out my straps and get different looks!

Yes. I have the stainless and gold with the blue face. Very sharp.

is the movement on yours better than the one reviewed on this video ? thanks

Probably if an ETA, their 2025 movements will be a clone of a Grand Seiko.

I've got one. Lume was much better. Dot on bezel lights up too. Bezel a little tough to turn til you break it in. Look on ebay used should get cheap. Some love some hate, I love it. Coin edge makes it a bit higher. Keeping accurate time clear back case.

G M no I want to though

It's a great watch and working well.

yeah but chrome plated brass! how long will that last?

Lorea have Chinese seagull movement while Invicta has Japanese movement.

I have an Invicta Reserve 6663, but battery is dead. How much do you think I could sell it for?

@@DwyaneWadeCounty is it the gold and black?

You tested it out with a diamond selector? Also how's your Loreo holding up movement wise?

I ordered my loredo with the stock factory nato strap

Rod donovan.... You still owe me for that fishing trip !!!!!.....

@@silverghost4206 Ha! Last time I went fishing was about 15 years ago....:-)

@Uriel S. Morrill can u give any aliexpress/amazon/ebay link of that loreo with NH35 movement?

Yeah mate we need a link of that
