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.

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.

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.

I purchased this item with some trepidation after the mixed reviews, which seem to suggest possible quality control issues at Invicta. However it was worth a gamble at the price so I went ahead and am really quite pleased with the value provided by this watch. I usually buy cheap watches and replace them when the batteries die, but find many of the cheapies are over complex and quite difficult to read - I want a simple, rugged, good looking watch which is easy to read. As most reviews suggest, the 8932 looks really good, if possibly a little blingy. As indicated by several other reviews, the watch is on the smaller side, which is a great relief after some of the grotesquely huge monsters out there! Adjusting the band to my wrist took about 10 minutes and was quite straightforward. The watch is very accurate, the bezel moves freely without being loose, adjustment is very easy and the lume is sufficient to easily read the time in the dark - so it doesn't seem to exhibit any of the issues mentioned in some reviews. I really couldn't care less about having a screw down crown, whether the second hand aligns precisely to the markings etc.. (Hey guys, this is a 60 buck watch!!) With respect to screw down crowns, I have never owned a watch with one, am extremely hard on watches and can't recall ever having an issue with water. However, anyone who trusts their life to a 'diver's watch' at this sort of price would have to be crazy. On the negative side, the pull out of the crown to adjust date & time lacks any detent to indicate whether it is on date or time setting and it feels fairly imprecise to use. I also think the satin part of the finish on the watch body is a little bit off, as is the finish of the hollow links joining the watch to the band. This is very minor and not really an issue. So overall I think this watch looks great and is very good value for money. I don't expect it to last for ever but it looks good for a few years.

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.

Invicta has a bit of a love it or hate it reputation. And looking outside the ProDiver line, I'm not a fan of their other watches, which all seem way too big and garish for my tastes. Nor am I a fan of their ridiculous MSRP when the watches sell for hundreds less than the listed price. It's just a fake discount to get people excited. But these ProDivers are fantastic, especially for under $100. I've had this watch for a little over a month now and so far, it ticks off all the boxes for me: 1) It looks great 2) It feels good on my wrist. 3) It's durable and hasn't had any quality issues and 4) it keeps good time (I'm averaging around -1 or -2 seconds per day). And these watches have a lot of features that are usually found on watches above this price range, like signed screw down crowns (this particular model doesn't screw down, but other ProDiver's for a similar price do) display backs (once again, not on this model, but the automatic models all have display backs to show off the movement) and probably the most important for me, hacking. There's not a lot of watches in this price range that have hacking but the ProDivers do. It is a very obvious homage to a Rolex Submariner and Invicta could have done a few things to set their design apart from the Rolex, but it is definitely NOT a "fake rolex" the Invicta name is stamped, applied or engraved across every part of this watch. It looks like a submariner but it isn't trying to pretend to actually be one. This watch isn't going to hold up against a real luxury watch, but compared to most other watches in it's price range, the Invicta ProDiver excels and even holds it's own against watches costing a couple of hundred dollars.

I love this watch. Classy, dressy. Retains its gold colour- solid watch.

Very pleased with this watch. It's my second Invicta purchase. Looks and feels good. Hasn't missed a beat in the past month or so. Recommended!

awesome watch!!!!!

Me gustan los relojes, y este como tal me pareció una buena opción ya que confío en la marca, y estaba a buen precio fuera del marcado regularmente. En líneas generales, el reloj es muy bonito, los materiales de construcción son muy buenos y sin duda se siente robusto y duradero, eso sin olvidar que se ve muy elegante y destaca bien con ropa formal y otras tantas vestimentas. Es una muy buena opción sin dudarlo, si lo que buscas es un reloj elegante y resistente. Esta bastante bien por su precio.
