Very good value!
This is not a Rolex! However it functions just as good, and if you’re not into status, it’s a good quality watch for a fraction of the cost. This watch will serve you well for many years, with no service intervals. Just the service on a Rolex would cost many times what you can buy an Invicta for. If you’re in the market for a good looking and functioning watch, you can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Bought as a joke, but actually impressed.
When I saw this watch on the Black Friday doorbuster, it was just so cheap that I had to have one.In the watch world, Invicta is the butt of almost every joke because many of their models just completely fall apart on their own in a month or two and then the buyer ends up losing everything after finding out that the warranty only covers about half the watch, it costs money just to have them look at it and then claim it’s not covered, etc.But the one watch that seems to get respect is the Pro Diver series with the Seiko NH35A movement.I bought this watch around the same time I also bought the Casio Pro Trek 6600-Y2 and while I think the Casio is nicer, the Invicta pro diver is a fine watch too, especially for the Black Friday price.It’s got all of the basics covered. It’s water-resistant (as long as you screw the crown down tightly), it’s got the looks of the Rolex Submariner, which it’s obviously a copy of, and (at least the one I got) keeps pretty good time. Loses a couple of seconds per day, which isn’t bad for a low end automatic mechanical.This uses a very similar movement to the Seiko 5 series, which is fair bit more expensive.Invicta has a reputation for making some really gaudy, garish, and obnoxious watch designs, but this one isn’t wild. It’s a copy of a classic. Probably the only thing they did with it that I don’t like is the laser-etched “INVICTA” on the left size of the watch, since Invicta isn’t generally a watch name you want to scream.But still, if you want a cheap, decent, watch to run until the hands fall off, this is your watch.The manual for this specific watch doesn’t seem to be included in the box as some sort of cost-cutting measure by Invicta, and must be read online.Probably the most important thing I read in it was when I couldn’t figure out how to get the date window to work and it turned out you’re not supposed to set the date between 9 PM and 4 AM or the thing will not work right. So I waited until after 4 AM and set the date to the previous day, then pulled the crown out all the way and changed the time forward until the date rolled over, and then set the time and pushed the crown back in, and it’s been working right ever since.The automatic winding rotor is a bit loud, but it’s not aggravatingly so.The 41 hour power reserve is quite sufficient as long as you wear it regularly or keep it winded up after you take it off (which is position 0 of three on the crown, from which you can manually wind the watch).Invicta suggests having the movement serviced every so often, but honestly the watch is so cheap that if anyone wants to charge you anything to fix it, you may as well toss it and buy a new watch. That’s not so bad really.Many people have these things run for years without many problems, whereas I’ve heard of people complaining that if they don’t get a $700 “servicing” for their Rolex every 4 years, it starts losing 15 minutes a day.Overall: If you need a beater watch that looks decent and don’t want to be plagued by battery swaps, and don’t mind resetting it to the correct time every few weeks, this is a good choice.

I’ve done my research – We have a winner!!!!
This has been my first automatic type watch purchase. I refused to dive head first into purchasing, what could be considered a “higher end” brand as my first automatic. Examples include citizens (eco-drive), Seiko, Movado (I have one non-automatic), Bulova (I have two non-automatic) and so on. I’m pinching pennies as it is with the economy as it is. What does someone do when they want a watch for a price that won’t break the bank, looks nice, functions well, and you can see yourself wearing it frequently?I rarely wear my Movado or Bulova’s – matter of fact, I put those in a safe years ago. I only wore them with business suites etc. As daily wear watches, I’ve bought throw aways over the years. Casio digital watch, timex, no brand names and hell, even a smart watch (which I rarely used to it’s full purpose)Enter the Invicta Pro Diver**Pros**- Watch Feels Solid – The band feels like good construction and so does the watch- Band is not loud – I can’t really describe what I mean by this but some watch band links “cling” togetherwhen you move or the watch moves. Like it’s cheap and loose. Not this band. It’s solid.- Looks great – The colors on the band, dial, and so on really pop- Keeping good time – It arrived active already – I set the time last night, right to the second, and so far it’s right on the money (I used my desktops windows time to nail the seconds down)- Higher end movement – I did a lot of research on the Seiko movement (NH35A) and according to some online sources, this is a 40.00 dollar movement by itself.- Water Resistance – I was looking forward to having a watch I could wear at all times. Even in the shower. Something as trivial as needing to take a watch off to shower and put back on after is annoying. I showered with it and (**important** make sure the crown is screwed down and tight to turn clockwise) I have no issues to report**Cons**- Clasp Quality – The clasp feels solid for the most part. I could foresee it wearing down over time. Kind of why I’ve decided to rarely, if ever, take off the watch. I’m not too worried about this.- Does not glow in the dark very well – I don’t really know much about the science behind luminous but I can tell you that I’m simply not able to tell the time in the dark. It does glow but not bright enough in my opinion.- Invicta Branding – Some may have no issue with having an “Invicta” engraving on the bezel and the Invicta symbol on the second hand. Some may find that tacky. I personally don’t really care.**Take Away**I’m happy with my purchase. I paid 74 bucks (I’m including taxes etc. in that price) for an automatic watch that functions well, looks great, is solid built, and will accomplish what I had as an end goal for buying my first automatic watch. Time will tell (pun intended) how well this watch holds up. I’m not a very daily active person. Meaning I work in an office setting. Not much going on that could cause any sort of issue for the watch. I am active during the week and on the weekends going to the gym etc. I plan on wearing the watch throughout all of those activities. I’ll definitely be putting the watch through its paces.If you’re just getting into the automatic side of watches, in a market saturated by countless brands mimicking other brands, and where a decent name “high end brand” starts at 150.00 (for really bottom barrel automatics) , to better looking name brand watches priced 300.00 to 500.00 , and you’re wanting to save a buck, I think you’ll be happy buying this watch.It checked most if not all my checkboxes. For the price and movement quality, you simply can’t beat it.

Perfeito relógio

Produto Premium. Muito bem acabado e bem produzido. Movimento NH35 é excelente e muito fácil de achar peças caso precise de alguma manutenção no futuro. Vale a pena! Excelente homenagem ao Rolex Submariner.
by Molly D
I was pleased with this watch from the get-go! It’s well made, indices line up, keeps good time*, easy to set time & date plus, biggie, it was easy to adjust the band to fit my narrow wrist – my photo doesn’t do justice to how well the band fits!! Tell band is a combo of polished metal & brushed stainless steel plus it has the Invicta logo on the clasp – I wore it tent camping for 4 solid weeks – no worries, no harm!!*not quartz ergo typical automatic precision

Tal como dice el tÃtulo, es excelente.Para empezar, me costó tan solo $46USD/930MXN, tomando en cuenta la excelente calidad de materiales: toda la caja de acero inoxidable, el bisel se mueve sin problema, los eslabones sin de acero sólido(cosa que otros más caros que tengo, no tienen), el chapado de oro es de buena calidad, no podrÃa decir cuánto durará, pero no creo que sea poco, la corona es de rosca, el lumen que tiene es bueno, aunque aún no he medido cuánto dura, el movimiento, siendo de Seiko, es confiable, pero de nuevo, esto último, solamente es un aderezo, por todo lo anterior ya mencionado, incluyendo acabados. Ahora bien, si se trata de buscar defectos, solamente dirÃa que el broche pudo tener pulsadores y el bisel tiene “un click” de juego.Reiterando, TODO en el reloj es excelente, desde la presentación, aunque, hay que decirlo, TODO es perfecto si lo comparamos con relojes de la misma gama de precio, por ejemplo, si se compara con el Casio Duro(Marlin), éste tiene movimiento automático, chapado de oro, excelente presentación, todo acero inoxidable y un tamaño más “universal”.Las medidas son excelentes también para prácticamente toda muñeca, pues de altura(punta a punta), son sólo 47mm, el diámetro es de 40mm sin corona, la altura es de 13mm nada más y brazalete de 20mm de ancho.Mi muñeca es de 17cm, y si bien uso algunos de 44 y 45mm, los de de menos de 42mm me agradan, y lamentablemente no siempre se encuentran.Por último, y lo menos importante, pero que debe mencionarse, es que es un homenaje al Submariner de Rolex, eso a mà no me importó, la primera vez que lo và me gustó y posteriormente investigando sobre relojes lo supe. Si lo compras con la idea de tener un Rolex, está bien, pero la verdad el reloj destaca por si mismo debido a todas las ventajas ya mencionadas.Yo lo compré en los 46usd que mencioné, pero la verdad es que lo và en 60usd, al momento de pagarlo, resultó que solo eran 46USD, sin duda, vale los 60-80USD, aunque por más, quizá ya me irÃa por el Orient Mako, esto lo digo solamente para quienes duden por el precio, pero dudo que cualquiera se lleve una decepción.

Es un Excelente Reloj.Algunos le llaman homenaje otros dirán que es una copia del Submariner pero es algo que realmente no me importa. En lo personal no podrÃa llamarle copia, el diseño si esta inspirado en el Submariner, como muchos otros relojes de diferentes marcas que incluso tienen precios mas altos, pero este diseño no es exactamente igual para llamarlo copia.Es un Diver automático echo de acero inoxidable 316L, caja de 40mm, movimiento automático Seiko NH35A (movimiento con muy buen prestigio), cristal mineral, WR de 200 m, fechador a las 3:00, bisel giratorio unidireccional, brazalete con broche de seguridad, y corona roscada. Dicho esto por el precio, creo que no hay mucho que decir en contra.Es un reloj pesado, mismo que te confirma la calidad de los materiales, la lupa no magnifica exageradamente pero si lo suficiente. El brazalete es de eslabones sólidos lo cual lo hace un buen brazalete para mi.Como lo menciono, es un reloj muy accesible en cuanto al precio, de echo obtendrás un reloj con mayor valor al que estarás pagando, la hermeticidad es muy buena, lo eh usado en diferentes situaciones cotidianas, se ha engrasado, ensuciado y no eh tenido el menor problema, solo basta con cepillarlo y lavarlo. Se me ha golpeado en un par de ocasiones (no impactos de alta gravedad) sin verse afectado estéticamente, no hay rasgos de rayas en la caja, cristal ni brazalete.El bisel giratorio (unidireccional) esta perfectamente alineado a las 12 en punto, eh leÃdo en la opinión de muchos que es muy duro el giro de este pero en mi opinión creo que tampoco es un problema ya que esto también ayudara a que no se desajuste fácilmente o que se cambie de posición cuando se le este dando uso.la pasta luminosa no dura mas de 30 o 45 minutos visible, después de ese periodo de tiempo tendrás mas dificultades para poder ver la hora en la obscuridad, si el uso que pretendes darle requiere un tiempo de iluminación mayor entonces creo que deberás buscar otra opción aunque claro, con un costo mayor.En cuanto al movimiento (Seiko NH35A) estoy sorprendido, es muy muy preciso, lo eh estado observando y tiene una variación aproximada de +-5 segundos cada 2 dÃas a diferencia de otro reloj automático que tengo que presenta un adelanto de 1 minuto por dÃa. Es muy sencillo de ajustar la hora y fecha, a diferencia de otros relojes no tienes que estar adelantando 24 horas para que se cambie la fecha ya que lo puedes hacer directamente.Lo único que puedo decir en contra de este reloj es que no me agrado el tamaño de las letras del nombre de la marca en uno de los costados de la caja, no es algo que realmente me moleste, pero… si viene la firma de la marca en la corona, esfera, tapa de la caja, la forma del logo en el segundero y en el seguro del brazalete… ¿Por que colocar el nombre de Invicta en uno de los costados de la caja en ese tamaño?, no creo que era necesario, en lo personal no me gusto, habrá a quien si y es totalmente respetable, pues tambien creo que sus razones habrá tenido la marca.En general es un excelente reloj, dejando fuera lo de la firma en la caja, estoy muy satisfecho con el en todos los demás aspectos y caracterÃsticas, es un reloj ampliamente recomendable por todo lo que ofrece Invicta en el, ya que dentro de la gama de automáticos de esta y otras marcas con estas especificaciones a este precio, será muy difÃcil encontrar otro similar.
