Invicta Men's Pro Diver Watch

This is a great looking watch and is a mash-up of the Rolex Submariner & Omega Seamaster. I call it the Sub($35)Master. For the less than $35 I got it for and even if it were $55 I give it 5 stars. It's insane how nice it looks, the fit & finish, & how solidly made this is for the price. Even the bracelet is solid and the clasp is well made with 4 micro adjustment holes. I have and love my Seiko watches but not even they can do this at the price, and Timex doesn't even come close. Seiko has folded bracelets at the lower price point but they do have good automatic movements. I purchased several of these Invictas to look at including the 8932OB with the Rolex Submariner type bezel and the 40mm automatics, but this is the one I like most. The 8932OB is the same size but just looks slightly too flat and small even my 6.75mm wrists. The Omega Seamaster styled bezel on this one has a little more material around the outer edge of the bezel and more marking in the black area, enough to make a visual difference so that it just looks big enough. BTW, this has a 38mm bezel and 37-37.5mm case. It is Not 39mm as written in the description. It looks small for a diver watch design, smaller than my Seiko SKX013 and it might be too small if you have 7in+ wrists. There are other small differences between this and the 8932OB. The case has a more defined bevel, the lugs are is very lightly differently shaped, the crystal is slighlty thicker with a more noticeable bevel, and the numbers and markings around the bezel are different and more like the Seamaster. I like the bezel on this one better, it's more substantial, looks classier and more refined, and doesn't reflect as many little points of light so it's less shiny/blingy. I do wish this were about 1mm wider and thicker. The 40mm auto version is very tall, boxy and flashy, and looks like it is 2 sizes bigger. The one legitimate con is that the lume sucks and only lasts for a few minutes. Some other very minor and nit-picky negatives I can think of are: the minute hand moves around a little when the crown is pushed back in so you have to compensate 15-30 secs when setting it, and the brushing on the top of the lugs is noticeably different from the brushing on the bracelet. The crown doesn't screw down and although 200 meters is written on the dial, I wouldn't expect this to survive even 1 meter of water. You can't expect a screw down crown for this price, but crazy as it sounds, the 40mm auto version has both a screw down crown and a very good Seiko NH35 automatic movement for $90, $55 when it's on sale. This is going to make a very good beater watch that I don't have to worry about, and looks good enough to be a primary watch if you really just want something that looks good.

It's a good Quality watch, I thinks it's a nice option if your a looking for a good looking watch that works well. I have been using it for a long time and the battery is still working, also I use it every day and it doesn't look worn. However, I have yo say it's a little bit heavy.

Update, it failed the torture text. ===》BUT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WATCH.《=== It got pretty beat up in the paint shaker, when it kind of came loose and was slapping around violently. But at that time it was still running, I didn't check if it was keeping good time. Obviously I went too far. I will not be returning it because that wouldn't be fair, I will have friends of mine buy another one or two of these watches and keep one of them for myself, because I did the ground work of finding them a good watch. Amazon ad incorrect. It reads as. "Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch" But the statement of AUTOMATIC, leads one to believe that it is MECHANICAL. Invicta sells a mechanical version of this watch that looks almost identically the same, but it cost $220.00. The one I bought is the quartz version model 8932 written on the back of the watch for $55.12 under the listing of "Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch". Note, neither watch has a screw down crown. Depth rating 200 meters. I wanted an indestructible and completely waterproof divers watch, probably with a screw down crown or without a screw down crown. AND NOW THE TORTURE TEST!!!!!!!!!! Buy it, it survived!!!!!! I am a champion athlete. I carefully attach the watch between the spokes on my trailblazer 21-speed bicycle and hit the ground running hard tearing up the trails for 6 hours. Jumping Bridges, going through muddy trails and blazing the hot summer sun, some with the crown pulled out and some having the crown in. Next I put the watch in a paint mixer machine and let it run for an hour, then I clean the watch in 99% rubbing alcohol with the crown out and turning the hands back and forth 100 times under the alcohol solution. Next I submerge The Watch in heavy laundry detergent, again with the crown out. Then soaked it overnight in dishwashing soap this time with the crown in. And last, I've had it in the aquarium next to the bubbler so it can get a lot of water agitation and the fish can nibble on it. It's been there for 2 weeks and I can see it keeps perfect time. And is though that wasn't enough, I put it in the freezer overnight and thawed it out in a boiling pan of water. Not sure what other grueling test I will put it through, but I think I got a good one that will last. I hope this helps you to decide whether it's right for you.

I got this watch on an Amazon lightning deal for 50 bucks and think I got a good deal. I was looking for a stainless banded watch that would be appropriate for every day wear. Watches can get incredibly expensive so finding anything decent in this price range is not that easy. The dial back is a clean looking stainless steel It is a basic nice looking watch it is not going to be mistaken for a Rolex but it also does not have a cheap look about it either. Of course you can adjust the band or remove a link if needed. I am 6 feet 200 with average size wrists so I had to take a link out for it to fit so I don't think many will have issues with this being too small for them even if they have much larger wrists than me. It also has a little magnifying lens attached to the front of the crystal so you can see the date number more easily. The hands and the dots on the dial and the top of the revolving black second ring marker glow in the dark but not very long which is the only thing I wish was different about it, perhaps if I were to wear it out in bright sun they make get a better "charge" to glow longer but I would not count on it. It means one can not see the time in the dark. If it simply glowed longer I would be very happy, in fact if that were the case I might give it 5 stars as that would be excellent. This is a "divers watch" so it is waterproof, though I am not sure how many true divers would use it for that purpose it is nice to know it is waterproof (not just water resistant. The black outer dial for the second hand does not turn very easily, perhaps it would if "broken in" though I doubt this is a feature many will use or find an issue, just thought I would mention it. The watch comes in a very nice box and the band (the stainless one on the watch) has plastic covering it to protect it which I thought was nice and shows attention to detail. To sum it up I think it is a very good watch for the money and also makes a good gift due to the way it is boxed and packaged.

Nice watch for the price.

in the past, I had avoided this particular brand because they have very large and bulky Watch faces, I finally got to see one of these at a resale, and found that they do have smaller. Watch faces similar to this one that I had ordered, very premium feeling, and works great, no issues, Looks great and easy to adjust the size if you have one of those kits that you can find online for $15-$20, value for the money is great, especially since you are getting a watch that has a date, and functional chronograph. And without a doubt, and invicta is probably one of the most durable watches I have had.

I like how it looks in person, better than what it looks like in the pictures in my opinion. Also, good case size for my small wrists and good quartz movement accuracy. Some of the markers are slightly...just slightly off but not enough to really bother me or matter.. usually that sort of thing bugs me tremendously, but knowing how much I paid for the watch and how decent it actually is assembled overall makes up for it. I also decided to take my link band off at put a nato strap on and it looks great... definitely scratches my itch for wanting to own a inexpensive diver watch that I won’t feel bad about if it gets beat up or lose it. As for the homage thing, it doesn’t offend me. I saw another review were someone said that they own a Rolex and bought this to use when they are actually diving so they can keep their Rolex safe and continue to have the sweet diver look. If your afraid of someone calling you out because it’s not a Rolex, its really not up to them to decide your watch budget. Just know that the watch was meant to be used by you.. you bought it for yourself to use and enjoy (because of how it looks to you or whatever it is you like about it), you didn’t buy it for them. I personally had an experience with someone who had a fake Rolex...that is, it actually had “Rolex” written on it, and then later admitted to me it wasn’t real but had tried to convince me it was real when he first showed it to me. I feel that if you have to try that hard for a status, then you’re not buying a “watch” but rather a “status symbol” to try and impress other people with. I personally think you shouldn’t do that... just be honest and buy based on your own tastes, something that you can be happy with.. and this Invicta is a good option for anyone looking into the diver style.

I’m only keeping this watch because I like the color way and it was specifically what I was looking for. Not a fan of the silver/white/blue or the homage styled ones with black. This is my second homage watch ever. On the right is my adiesdive sub homage watch, on the left is the invicta. The adiesdive costed about $60 and blows the inivcta out of the water. Would’ve bought the invicta automatic pro diver if this was decent but meh. Not a huge fan. Cons: - Invicta feels so tiny compared to the other watch, almost though this was a women’s watch. - Not a fan of the bezel notches tbh on the invicta - I HATE the clasp on the watch band holy s*%#! The adiesdive has a push button clasp which is SO much more easier to take off than the brute force required for the invicta - NO SCREW DOWN CROWN! Even the adiesdive has a screw down crown. -watch band just feels so small and scrawny - cyclops is meh, have to look directly down to see the number clearly - didn’t even come with a tool to remove links smh! Even cheap Amazon watches come with the tool! I’m not the guy to ask about watch movement so it’s a tossup there for me Pros: - when setting date and time the crown snaps in and out and turns very smoothly with just enough feedback you know what you’re doing. My adiesdive is extremely hit or miss when adjusting the date and time it can be a nuisance - The colors. I love the Pepsi color with a white face. Just what I wanted. - I actually like the boldness of the number on the date reader. Compared to adiesdive it looks nicer. TLDR: If you like the colors and it’s on sale buy it, for standard blue, green or black submariner homage watch I’d go with an adiesdive, a steel dive, maybe a sturhling around this price point. I doubt it’s resistant to water.
