Gostei do acabamento, impecável. E a máquina é japonesa.

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” together
when 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.

Dei de presente, meu namorado amou. Qualidade incrível, não vem mais com o selo amarelo atrás, mas é mais lindo pessoalmente. Valeu cada centavo.

Es un reloj muy bonito, automático, buen tamaño que lo hace cómodo, color original pero no es el de la foto, es más oscuro, yo lo esperaba más claro sin embargo de cualquier manera se me hace muy original. Me encantó!

Pensei que fosse maior, porém mesmo assim gostei muito. Um relógio deste modelo acima de 40mm de diâmetro são mais de mil reais. Desta forma, valeu muito a pena, meu primeiro Invicta original.
Mr. Manalyst –
Frankly, I was somewhat skeptical. A decent, let alone good, watch at this price from … ahem … Invicta? Well, my experience 2 weeks or so into ownership has pretty much proven my suspicions to be ill-founded. This is a terrific watch, made all the better because of the “silly” price. Pay 20x the money or much more, if you want, in terms of a quality watch, you won’t do better. OK, it doesn’t say Omega or Rolex on the dial. But, let me take you through my likes and dislikes.
1. Appearance.
It looks terrific straight out of the case and appears to be well made. On my wrist, I think it looks great — it’s 40mm, ie, medium sized these days, and that suits me.
2. Feel.
It has a surprising heft. I wasn’t expecting this for a watch at this price-point, but it feels substantial, but not overly heavy, when wearing it. I like that very much — it’s reassuring, somehow, and suggests robustness and superior build quality to my way of thinking.
3. Durability.
Too soon to tell, overall, However, when I accidentally banged the watch against a heavy metal gate the other day, I winced, fully expecting to find at least a cracked or scratched crystal, or damage to the strap. Nope. Nada. I wasn’t just relieved, I was, again, very pleasantly surprised by this piece.
4. Reliability.
Again, probably too early to say, overall. Again, however, I will say this: my watch has been keeping perfect time. Saying so here will now probably jinx it, but we shall see. I was not expecting this from my own prior experience with an automatic watch, and some of the other reviews here. It wouldn’t have bothered me too much, as I viewed time gain/loss as part of the automatic watch experience — and I like to engage with my devices. Sort of like preferring to drive stick over automatic. It’s a personal thing. But, so far, this watch has kept perfect time.
5. Automatic movement.
I just prefer it to quartz, although quartz is, typically, just perfectly accurate. I didn’t want to see the word “quartz” on the dial, and I liked seeing the watch-movement on the back of the case. That movement, however, is painted yellow, not left stainless. Initially, I was put off by this because I just didn’t like the aesthetic. However, I almost never see it as the watch is on my wrist all the time, and now I’ve become used to it anyway.
6. Service.
This also really surprised me. I took delivery of the watch and followed the instructions (or so I thought) to set both the time and the date. Problem: time re-set ok, but not the date, no matter how often I tried. I was disappointed and annoyed with myself. After all, at this price-point, what could I expect? So, I waited 24 hours and was advised I could either get a complete refund or a replacement. If io ted for the replacement, i would have 30 days to return the original, or else my card would be charged again. I opted for the replacement, which arrived a few days later. Again, I was unable to set the date, although the setting the time went flawlessly. Again I was frustrated, but also skeptical of the possibility that not one but two watches had the identical issue. Perhaps the problem wasn’t with the watch, but with me — perhaps I was doing something wrong? I took them to a nearby jeweler/Invicta dealer, who showed me that, yes indeed, the problem was me. When setting the date, even though you are going forward, you have to wind backwards, ie, counter-clockwise. Problem solved! I therefore returned the replacement watch and kept the original. Yes, the instructions in the box could have been clearer, but I was mightily impressed by the Seller (Amazon?) immediately sending me a replacement with no questions asked, and then giving me 30 days to return the original before charging my card.
7. The”unboxing” experience.
People post YouTube videos of themselves unboxing their latest doo-dad all the time. Certainly, there is something satisfying about unboxing your new iProduct or Cartier that adds to the whole ownership experience. This, for me, was not that. The box is a horrible vinyl. The yellow color isn’t exactly subtle, but would probably look better in cardboard. I don’t keep it out anywhere visible. The instructions are stuffed into the lid and don’t fit. It all looks and feels wrong. The watch itself was covered in a number of transparent protective tapes, that were tricky to remove and required some patience. All that said, none of these (minor) gripes have affected my overall, very positive experience.
8. Value For Money.
You could get yourself the quartz version for about $30 cheaper at the time of writing. While that’s not nothing, and is about a full one-third less than this watch, I opted for this model. The quartz model also has a slightly different bezel, one which I actually prefer as it’s a little more modern and subtle, without the classic, jagged “teeth.” This watch has the traditional look. However, for me, an automatic stainless-steel diver’s watch with these looks, heft and reliability at this price, represents excellent VFM.
9.Conclusion.
If you’re considering this watch, I say buy it. It’s very reasonably priced for what it is and you’ll have ample time to return it if you don’t like it.
