OT: What is it with ShopHQ and Invicta...three days of Invicta watches TTV...what???

I knew they sold Invicta OVER AND OVER AND OVER, but I think they've had an Invicta watch as the TTV for the last three days in a row! Why in the world would they do that? Do those watches really sell that well? I recently saw an Invicta watch at Sam's. What is all the fuss??

They're pretty good watches, but they really do feature them a lot. I'd say, though, it's no worse than this channel and their incessant hawking of Dell, Apple, Dyson, Vitamix, Bose, Keurig, Sleep Number and so on. Any way you slice it, repetition is repetition and it's boring!

I call ShopHQ the watch channel…most of their TTV's are watches. I was hoping they would branch out more with some fresher, more interesting products when they changed names but no such luck.

I have a feeling that the Invicta watches might be one of their best selling items so of course they're going to be featured constantly. They appeal to both men & women. If you go to their Facebook page, you'll see posts by people who collect the watches.

I'm pretty sure I can tune into that channel once every 6 months and see everything they sell.

In spite of all the complaints here about QVC, there's far more variety available on QVC.

I know nothing much about Invicta quality, but I suspect they do sell and I also think they have a cult-like following, hopefully because the owners feel they're getting quality.

I guess each channel has their specialty. I don't wear watches so it does not really interest me. It does seem that they overdo it but I imagine someone is buying or they would not be selling.

ShopHQ has always had an overabundance of watches. They are doing a little better, but I don't see that many people wearing watches anymore.

I've wondered if HQ owns Invicta...

I own 3 Invictas and they may be the best quality timepieces in my collection. I bought all of them at very good sale prices - can't afford full price! That being said, I'm sick of seeing them every time I flip over there.

Actually, I'm sick of everything on all of the channels these days... There are too few jewelry shows for my taste, and collectible shows are non-existent other than a few shows here and there on the other channels. The times have definitely changed from 20 years ago when I first started watching shopping channels on TV.

Watches are one of the main things they sell. They are obviously a priority. Nothing wrong with that. They would not have them as TTV so often if they did not sell. Someone buys them.

I have not worn a watch regularly since I got my first cell phone. I do have a few very nice ones I keep thinking I should wear once in a while but I'm sure all of them need new batteries at this point.
