Watch Update 2: Avoid Invicta
Well, my shiny new watch arrived yesterday. Doesn’t work. Runs for exactly one minute. An attractively packaged, precisely-accurate minute, but still only a minute. Falls a little short of the 120 years and counting I’m getting out of the pocket watch.
The snotty chick I reached at Invicta could care less how new the watch is, that it still had all its original plastic coverings. Doesn’t want to help me. Tells me that if I want it looked at, under warranty, I have to pay to ship it to them AND send them $20.00 for “shipping and handling.”
Ahh. I see. It’s a racket.
So it’s going back to Woot for a refund. And I’m going to encourage everyone to avoid Invicta.

Remember, if it only runs for a minute, it’ll still be correct twice a day.
Owie. Hopefully, Woot has decent customer service.
