Invicta Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 40mm

Iv'e wanted a good automatic watch (no battery needed) for a long time now and always admired the looks of the Rolex Submariner, but not having thousands of pounds to spare and after watching a few review videos I decided that the Invicta Pro Diver was worth a try. Let's make this clear, you will find mixed reviews, and many criticise this particular model, as its not the swiss movement version, but what I have found is 100% opposite to the negative reviews. This version has an incredibly well tested and reliable Seiko automatic movement, which can be delightfully watched through the glass back of the watch, the way I looked at it is that as with cars the Japanese studied the market (in the case swiss movements) and then made a reliable version of their own. This is a 24 jewel movement and the second hand swings around in an almost smooth movement with only the tiniest 'tick' visible. The watch feels like a quality item, and since setting over a week ago it has lost only 10 seconds, which for an automatic watch is fantastic. If you want absolute accuracy then go for the swiss quartz version, but my opinion is that it's just not the same as having a non-battery version which winds itself back up with every movement of your arm and hand during normal daily use. I read in a review somewhere that the latest versions of this watch with the seiko movement cannot be hand wound, but I have found this to be incorrect and I was able to wind mine prior to wearing for the first time and its worked wonderfully ever since without intervention. Being a divers watch of course I wanted to check the water tightness, particularly as its advertised as water tight up to 200 metres. I have left the watch in a glass of cold water for over an hour and also worn it whilst having a shower, at no point did it show any signs of moisture under the lense, something which I have experienced on other so called 'waterproof' watches. For the money, and forgoing the 'I must have swiss' snobbery, this is a fantastic watch. Anyone who has owned or considered owning a fake brand name watch should look at this, you get all the looks and style of the brand name, but instead you are buying a genuinely well made quality watch, not some cheap and leaky import, don't buy on name, buy on quality. Anyone receiving this as a gift would surely love it, and for less than £70 you would be hard pushed to find anything remotely close in quality, my own research found that the Invicta brand was originally formed in the 1800's as a swiss watch maker and despite this more modern re-incarnation of the brand you will still experience the heritage of well made quality timepieces. Will certainly be buying again, just have to decide what styles to choose from as there are so many!

Brilliant watch at a great price! Nice weight to it, rotating bezel that feels sturdy. Strap is very good and quality material with a comfortable fit and feel. Very good looking watch on the wrist.

This watch was purchased to replace another automatic watch (different brand) that I dropped and went haywire. I like the idea of the self-propelled mechanical watch, and after some deliberation I decided to give automatics another chance. I have had my Invicta for four months now, so I think I can express a well founded opinion of it. It is a nice watch, looks good and stylish, and keeps time pretty well (mine has a tendency to be two-three minutes fast in about two weeks, but that is fine with me, and this would vary with the user, I guess). I consider it a good value for the price. The luminous hands/dial is quite bright and can be read easily. It is a heavy watch (about 200 g - NOT 455 g, as it is stated in the product overview), but it is comfortable for wearing around the clock (I had in on for two weeks straight when we went camping). It is shock resistant enough for my taste: I dropped it a couple of times so far on hardwood floor from about a meter height, and it is working fine. I did not realise that it had a little magnifying lens above the date display when I ordered it (although now I can see it on the pictures). This lens does not look very appealing to me, I do not find it very useful, either, but I have gotten used to it. I had resized watch bands before, so I wanted to take a link out of the wristband when the watch arrived, but I could not remove the pin holding the link. I was afraid of damaging the wristband, so I ended up paying a few Euros for the resizing. Invicta includes a little instruction book with the watch, but you have to know the features of the watch to be able to pick the relevant section - on the other hand, if you know the features, you hardly need the instructions! I thought it was quite cheap of them to print just one booklet for all their watches. The important thing to know about this model that is has a screw-down crown. It is not mentioned in the description, and since I had never had a watch with this feature before, I had a little difficulty with it first. As I mentioned before, the instruction booklet that comes with the watch is useless, you have to know that the watch has a screw-down crown to look up how to use it. Another important thing is that they guarantee the water resistance ONLY if the crown is screwed in the watch body (this is in the instruction booklet). The crown of mine got loose somehow without me noticing it, and some water actually got into the watch when I was taking a bath - I was quite upset about it. I am still in the process of trying to dry it out. The pin of the fold over clasp came apart one day when I was taking the watch off. I do not remember any rough usage that would explain it. Apparently it is not of a common size, because the watchmaker did not have it on hand, so it took a couple of days to have the wristband repaired. All in all, it is a nice watch for everyday use, but I wonder how long it will last.

I've been seeing ads about Invicta watch and saw reviews on youtube also. Since I have special interest on watches especially automatic I thought of purchasing one Invicta and I did. To my surprise, I found Invicta a wonderful timepiece which runs accurately with a great look. I purchased one more after seeing the performance. I am a fan of this watch now.

Gayet iyi gölgede rose gold parlak alanda koyu altın sarısı gibi parlıyor mekanizmaya diyecek yok zaten seiko NH35 hızlı geldi memnunum

we were satisfied

Over the years, Invicta has gained notoriety for its endless homages of classic timepieces by other watchmakers. The brand is viewed by some watch enthusiasts as unoriginal, tacky, and deceiving. However, still, Invicta is a good starting point for those looking into getting a genuine automatic watch. The Invicta Pro Diver (8926ob) is an excellent homage of the Rolex Submariner in my opinion, and here’s why: First, the quality of the timepiece. The stainless steel casing and bracelet are of outstanding quality. The bracelet feels solid, and the housing has some weight to it. At this price, you’d expect a kiosk-tier Rolex knockoff; This watch doesn’t feel like the manufacturers cut corners on its materials. The glass used is a proprietary mineral material, and so far, it has been great with zero scratches. The crown is great, despite what other reviewers have said. I haven’t had any issues with turning the crown and enjoy the satisfying feel of winding it. The watch uses a Seiko-calibre NH35A movement, which is insanely durable. The movement on its own sells for about half of this watch’s retail price and is widely available on secondary markets. This means that if you ever have an issue with the watch, you can source its movement online with no trouble. The hacking and hand-winding features are exceptional, and I found that it keeps time very well. After a day of wear, the watch fell behind only by 1 second. Wow. As for its design, of course, many love it, and others hate it. It looks much like a Rolex Submariner. I don’t care if it looks very much like a Rolex, nor do I care to listen to watch snobs when they stare at it with disgust. Rolex or Invicta, this style is beautiful. I love the Mercedes hand and find the bezel to be decent. There are no complaints in terms of design. Now, let’s talk about the lume on the dials and bezel. It’s almost non-existent. At night, it’s virtually impossible to see the lume even if you had the watch under the sun all day. It was very disappointing, but for this price, it is expected. Overall, it’s a beautiful watch comprised of well-sourced materials and the Seiko-calibre movement. The movement is the star of the show for this watch, giving it excellent value and functionality. The stainless steel and mineral glass are durable, but lume, non-existent. The bracelet is perfect and feels solid and feels comfortable for all-day use. For its price, it’s a no-brainer, a great deal. I strongly recommend this watch.

Tak, jak w tytule - kupiłem go za 308 zł, co stanowi 1/3 ceny oferowanej na stronach polskich vendorów tego typu urządzeń do odmierzania czasu. Oczywiście Amazon, jak zwykle, zapodał błyskawiczną i bezpieczną dostawę. Zegarek dotarł w moje ręce, zaś później na rękę w stanie nienaruszonym w eleganckim pudełku prezentowym. Po rozpakowaniu okazało się, że czasomierz różni się w kilku kwestiach z zamieszczonymi na stronie Amazonu fotkami. Przede wszystkim tarcza jest koloru śliwka węgierka (fiolet), zaś bezel w kolorze radosnego błękitu niezapominajek. Wiedziałem o tym z poprzednio przeczytanych opinii i jakoś mnie to nie razi. No i na rotorze nie ma żółtej naklejki z reklamą marki Invicta - jak dla mnie to może i lepiej, bo nie wiem, czy taka naklejkowa maskarada nie wpływała by negatywnie na pracę mechanizmu NH 35A. A sam mechanizm jest na razie super w odniesieniu do wahań chodu - na dobę przybliża mnie jedynie niecałe 4 sekundy do wieczności... Zaś sam mechanizm - super - stop sekunda, dokręcanie, funkcja szybkiej daty, dwukierunkowy wahnik i wreszcie dokręcana koronka, co przekłada się na wodoodporność mechanizmu. Wisienką na torcie jest łezka na datowniku, która pozwala mi wreszcie bez okularów zobaczyć jaki mamy dzień miesiąca. Zegarek jest stosunkowo mały ale taki właśnie chciałem ze względu na raczej damski rozmiar moich nadgarstków - ten rozmiar koperty idealnie komponuje się z moimi gabarytami (wygląda dyskretnie i akuratnie a nie jak 47 mm szpanerska cebula). Łatwo usuwa się ogniwa z bransolety i każdy może sobie dopasować według własnych upodobań. Zegarek jest stosunkowo ciężki ale bez przesady to nie smartwatch. Reasumując: za grosiki stałem się posiadaczem solidnego czasomierza, który może nie będzie moim podstawowym zegarkiem (mam ich sporo) ale na pewno nie spocznie na dnie szuflady w roli eksponatu albo alokacji majątku.
