Is the Invicta Speedway Valken 49888 worth $70?

At $70 it is a cheap way to get a quartz chronograph with a sporty look. Expect a fashion watch, not a precision instrument, and don't count on resale value.

The listing does not give a case diameter. Speedway models are typically large, often 45 mm or more, so check the exact size before buying if you have a small wrist.

It is listed as water resistant, but no depth rating is given. Treat it as splash-resistant and take it off before swimming or showering.

Does the chronograph work without a battery?

No. It runs on a quartz movement powered by a battery, and the chronograph subdials need that battery to work.

When is the best time to buy it?

Invicta watches are discounted year-round, and prices move with sales events. $70 at Poshmark as of November 4, 2026 is already a low price, so compare the other stores before waiting.
