Men's Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Automatic Watch

Latest update: I bit the bullet on my 7 yr old watch, opened the watch back, and nudged the setting to make it faster. It gains a minute or two a day, but I'm good with that. A little bit fast, and never slow. So, Zero stars, to 3 starts to 5 stars. If it quits, I might by another. Yeah, its that good and pretty. What can you say about a watch that remains fairly good looking for 7 yrs at this price point. So, I've upped it to 5 starts. The lume - so-so; and I've scratched the cyclops, so its not all that clear. But Its still pretty, be it the plating is wearing thru. But for the price point - hard to beat this watch for looks/style and longevity. Previously I wrote: Durable I have to say. I wear it 24 hrs a day, rarely take it off, for now 6 yrs. I do have to adjust the time every 2/3 days. It runs slow, and its annoying. Not quite a precision movement. Just the other day, 4/2021, another person compliments me - nice watch. (I say ty,) The gold on the watchband has worn off about 50%, and I'm thinking of trying another - really? Maybe. Did notice the lume: in the dark - useless; the lume was poor, 6 years later, nothing. As I look around to replace it, I'm reminded this is a watch for less than $100. I may by another. Have upgraded the watch to 3 stars. 5/9/2021. Critical Review: Eye Candy, but not a credible precision watch as in loses/gains up to +/- 5 seconds an hour, when the movement is rated -20 to + 40 seconds a day. Do the math, 5 sec x 24 hrs = +/- 120 seconds a day, as in +2 minutes off I raised my rating from one to two stars because it has lasted 6 yrs as a daily wearing watch. Then from 2 to 3 stars as I'm reminded, as I look for a replacement, its under $100 - not bad. Took me 5 tries to find one that kept so so time. Other attempts: (2015) Tried/returned 5 watches: 2 were 30 sec slow/day; 1 was15 sec slow per day (should have kept this one) ; 1 was 2 minutes slow per day. (Invicta implies they are tested to chronograph standards, which is +/- 5 seconds per day. Funny, maybe they are tested to those standards, but they don't meet them. ) If you want a collector piece this is pretty. If you actually want a precision watch you don’t have to adjust every two to three days, I'd pass. I decided to live with adjusting it. One brand new watch with poor precision, no biggie; two brand new watches with the same identical poor precision, not good. 5 watches over the last 6 weeks: consistently 15-30 minutes a day slow/fast. And the last one, 2 minutes a day slow. So much for quality control? (refreshed 2017, 2020, 2021) Refreshed 4/2020 to acknowledge despite having to adjust the time every 2 to 3 days, it has lasted as a daily watch, for five years. Refreshed 5/2021to acknowledge it as a daily water resistant wear watch. Swim, work, ski, dive, shower - if you don’t mind resetting the watch every 2-3 days or you’ll find your self late for events (runs slow). I do not baby this watch. The band and water resistance are holding up. I bezel got hard to turn, so I used pb blaster, and it loosened up nicely. Added a video - it’s scratched a bit, but still working. For the price point might ? replace it with a new one - but would have to raise the stars to at least 4 if I do. Ps: I am not a collector, buy something I like, keep it, wear it 24x7, till it wears out. rarely remove from my wrist.

Left review because I thought I had recieved wrong product but I didn't. Thanks. 5 stars. The green is so dark though that it looks black.

Nice watch but I order gold and green face

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.

I've had this watch for about 6 months now, and I have to say that it is well worth the money. The build of the watch is conservative in a way, in that it is only 40mm. The color combination though is what really sets it out there, with a deep blue face set off by the gold and silver accents. An interesting thing to note is that in the light, the blue has kind of a sunburst effect which really adds on to its beauty, and in the shade, it features a more royal blue color. As for the arms, the second hand is impressive as it does seem to glide across the face of the watch, and the minute and hour arms add on to the sharpness of the watch. The lum I never had an issue with. It lasts the better part of the night for me and is descent. Looking at it, it is easy to see the similarities between it and the Rolex Submariner. Don't assume though that that's what you're getting, because it's not. What you are getting though is a beautiful, functional watch and at mere fraction of the cost. If you want to know, I got mine for $95.99. I do recommend though that you get the $4 sizing tool cause if you take it to a jeweler, it'll cost you an easy $15. Now to a problem a lot of people seem to have with the watch: it's power reserve. All my reply is, is what did you expect. This is not a quarts watch, it's automatic, meaning that it has no battery but rather is powered by reserved kinetic energy you can make either by wearing it or winding it or both more preferably. This makes it less accurate in the fact that it is powered on a continuously changing power source. Honestly though, if you plan on wearing it everyday, you won't notice it too much. Mine only loses a little less than two minutes a week. My Seiko 5 I admit does a better job, but simply doesn't have the same heft and looks as this watch. It is a good alternative if you like that and you can look it up on Amazon. Mine was the SNK375K1 and I have a review and hopefully some pictures too on it if you would like to look at it. Another problem I've read on from other customers is that the gold plating on the band wears off too fast. I would have to attest to this though, because as it does wear off eventually, it's kind of expected under certain conditions. I mean I've rubbed part of mine off, but that's on the parts where it is exposed to constant rubbing on a desk most of the day. That though, took me the better part of 4 months to do, and on a daily basis of 8 hours. So these people who complain about it coming off in a week are obviously doing something a bit more than what they are saying. If you have any questions or want any specific pictures taken of the watch, just leave a comment below.

Way higher quality feel and appearance than I was expecting for the price. With the Seiko automatic movement, it keeps accurate time and it seems to get more compliments than any of my other watches.

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.

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.
