And I'm paying around 200 for them via SHOPNBC.com by the way. Not 500-700 or whatever retail is

You can find it much less if you look around Im sure. Thats my recommendation because I have one and its great. RFX will probably give you a buncha othersuggestions.
And by the way if youre gonna spend money on invictas, use www.invictashark.com. Cheap prices and the watch changes every day.

Unless you start throwing diamonds and stuff like that into them. But then again I don't know $$++ about watches
For the price you are paying for the Invicta, you can definitely get something much better in look and quality.
Seiko and Citizen quickly comes to mind. I would even pick Fossil over Invicta to be honest.
To each his own
Well there are a lot of dif designs obviously. They get real silly with looks but the prices get outta control at the same time.

Understood, I don't expect anyone to pay full retail on any watch.
This Seiko Diver is $250 w/ an automatic movement at Jomashop.com, I'm sure it can be found cheaper at Amazon.

Seiko Alarm Chrono for $200, quartz but again, probably could be found cheaper at Amazon.

Seiko Kinetic, $270 at jomashop.com and could be found cheaper at amazon.

I don't like silver straps or silver all the way around or whatever but those are some nice watches as far as the face/actual watch goes. I don't meanto sound like an idiot.... but what does "quartz" mean when talking about a watch? You said it like it was a bad thing

It's not a bad thing necessarily, it means it is powered by a battery, automatics are powered by your movement - self winding.
If you watch stops working if not used for a couple of days, then your watch is an automatic.
Quarts tends to be cheapers as it is less complicated to make.
From your statement, my guess is yous Invictas are all quartz and for $200, a definite rip-off.
Now do not take it as a brand bashing of some sorts but even an automatic Invicta for that price is already pushing it but for a quartz, then it is just not agood value to me.
But it really all falls to what you like and if it makes you happy, that is all that matters and everything that has been said about Invicta, including mystatements shouldn't matter at all.

Nah, changing batteries are cheap.
Around $5-$15, just bring it to any watchmaker in your area or even in one of those stalls in the mall.
It'll take less than 5 minutes to change.

I think I found the watch I was looking for. Is there a rubber band that'll fit this model?

There are plenty of aftermarket rubber strap out there and if I have to guess, the lug size on those are 20mm, probably the most common lug size out there.
There are a couple of people here who owns the exact watch and one has changed straps already I believe. Maybe they can chime in with more info.

These are great watches, Tissot makes some very affordable pieces with great looks to them. My next watch purchase will either be the PRC200 or a Le Locle.
