Is the Invicta Racing IN-48468 a good everyday watch?

Yes, for casual wear. The quartz movement is low-maintenance and the steel case and silicone strap hold up to daily use. It is less suited to formal outfits.

Does it use a battery?

Yes. It runs on a quartz movement, which is powered by a battery rather than by winding or wrist motion.

What is the strap made of?

The strap is silicone, which is flexible, water-friendly and easy to wipe clean. It is not leather or metal.

How does it compare with other Invicta Racing watches?

It shares the Racing line's sporty look and quartz movement. Differences between models come down to case finish, dial design and strap type rather than to the movement.

Is it suitable for swimming?

Invicta rates water resistance per model, and this listing does not state a rating. Treat it as a casual watch and avoid swimming unless the caseback confirms a water-resistance rating.
