Men's Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Automatic Watch

I bought this Invicta Automatic copy of the Rolex Submariner back in July 2018 on an Amazon Black Friday Sale. It still runs well and looks great but I primarily wear it as a dress watch. I like its glass back to show the watch’s mechanism. I’ve gone SCUBA Diving to 98’ with it off the NC coast. No problems. It has remained accurate to about 5-10 seconds/month. I store it on a nice wood auto-winder and wear it about twice a month for a day or two. I am sure if this was a daily wear watch with my active lifestyle. It would perhaps begin to wear the gold color off the band and the watch itself and would probably scratch up the Crystal. But I wanted it to be my nice looking analog watch so I could wear something besides an Apple iWatch Ultra 3. It has exceeded my expectations for the price.

This review is based in the fact that this is an entry level watch. It is a "homage" style that mimics the looks of more expensive, luxury brands such as Rolex and Omega. I cannot stress this enough - it is simply NOT the same quality as you would expect with those brands. But, don't worry because THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE if you are just honest with yourself about this basic fact. Invictas are great starter watches, especially if you are just getting into collecting and still trying to figure out what particular style you like or prefer. You can get some decent wrist time with something that looks functionally similar to the higher end brands which will let you hone your personal style choices without having to drop the big bucks just yet. There are a few annoying things about Invictas that you will have to be able to get over. If these are a major hangup for you try a slightly different brand in the $100 to $300 range. The bracelet is just OK and the crystal is fine but is going to get scratched for anything other than office type wear. The branding is also a big turnoff for some. (Really do they need to inscribe "INVICTA" in a large font on the side of every single watch???) Also, because these are widely available and usually on sale it has absolutely no resale value. Outside of maybe selling it to a friend for $5-$10 don't expect to be able to recoup anything from a secondary market sale. However, the movements are actually pretty good and build quality is decent especially at this price point. Just if it breaks be reconciled to the fact that it is going to get put in the junker. If you can get past these few detractors then you will probably be happy enough with the purchase. Bottom line - buy this because you like the appearance and need either a starter or "beater" watch. It will serve those purposes well. If you are looking for something beyond this try a Seiko or Citizen which is probably going to be a closer value match.

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.

Eccellente, ottima manifattura e perfezione nei dettagli, un orologio premium a prezzo di saldo!

No soy experto, pero me gustan los relojes y creo que puedo ser objetivo con cada una de estas complejidades dependiendo la marca y el modelo. La marca honestamente no la conocía, pero cuando vi el anuncio en Amazon me llamó la atención el diseño del reloj, el modelo y el precio sobre todo. Lo que hizo que me detuviera a verlo con detalle fue el tipo de mecanismo (automático) que ofrecía el anuncio, cualquier marca con una máquina automática ya es cara, así sea un Swatch. La verdad es que me mantenía escéptico al momento de pedirlo, no era mucho el dinero pero no quería llegar al punto de regresarlo por no cumplir expectativas en general; cual ha sido mi sorpresa que en primer lugar llego antes de lo esperado, sin problemas con el empaque en general, caja y reloj a primera vista se muestra y son de calidad estándar buenos, al retirar el reloj de la base y sentirlo en las manos me sorprendió, el material se siente de buena calidad, la maquina se observa de igual manera y efectivamente es automático, los colores son fabulosos y luce excelentemente bien en la muñeca. Estoy muy satisfecho con la compra y sobre todo sorprendido que pueda tener un reloj con materiales y maquinaria de buena calidad a un precio realmente bajo. Hay un par de ofertas con el mismo producto diferente proveedor, sin embargo, me fui sobre el número comentarios que tenía el producto y su calificación por su puesto. La corona es de cuerda o rosca, debes ser muy exacto al momento de cerrar la corona para no dejar que se filtre el agua. Tienes que comprarlo y disfrutarlo, realmente vale la pena!

Worth the price of.

Best watch ever. My husband wearing it all the time he loves it.

Bellissimo orologio conoscendo il marchio unisce qualità a prezzi ottimi
