I have the Invicta Odyssey Slim in allegedly silver/blue. The watch dial is advertised as blue blue blue. In any and all lighting condition, to me, it looks purple purplepurple.

A year ago I ordered my firstInvicta watch, allegedly with a blue dial, only to discover that it looked purple to me. I returned that watch. I call this false advertising.

On another watch web site someone asked Jim Skelton if Invicta has ever made a watch with a purple dial. He said no, never, not yet.

I say that when Invicta says blue, what they really mean is invicta purple, and this is common knowledge, right?

Does everyone agree or not?

Why oh why does Invicta does this weird color thing with blue that looks purple but they insist it is blue, oh luuuucy,youhave some "splaining"to do.

I'd love to hear comments on this. Thanks all.

I guess I sort of expected some WFs to agree that some of Invicta's blue dials really look purple, not blue, but so far no one has stepped up to the plate. My disappointment is that I picked two watches that I really liked, but to my chagrin the two that I picked both look purple. Oh well, there are plenty of other watch makers out there. Thanks for the responses.

Wow you guys are fast! I have the 5782 and trust me it looks nothing like the picture, it is purple.

Model 5782 just doesn't sing to me, so, sadly I will either sell it for $50 or give it to a family member. I haven't even unwrapped it yet. I hope to pick up the same Odyssey in silver but with a red dial. I am a little tired of the classic standard boring watches and am ready to venture into dials with colors just to mix it up a little. I am hoping SNBC has big sales and/or free shipping next week for turkey day. I hope you all keep us in the loop on what to expect next week at the shop.

Ok thanks I think I will post it here for sale within the next few days. I've never done that before, but it should be easy enough.

Question, though: I really wanted the watch, so upon opening it, I registered the warranty under my name for 5 years. I kept looking at the watch and an hour later I decided it didn't sing to me, so I regreted registering it. I don't want to return it to the shop, I want it to find a good home, so I am not concerned about a $20 loss. Do you think registering it with Invicta in my name is an issue with purchasers? Basically I consider a $50 watch a "throw away" watch.
