Pro Diver Stainless Steel Men's Automatic Watch - 42mm

After seeing a few video reviews of Invicta watches I quickly had a scrol through the different designs and had been waiting an age for this one to drop in price and luckily this sales week brought me good fortune. An early Christmas present for myself... Well for the Mrs to give to me. There have been lots of comparisons between this watch and a certain luxury watch brand that developed a model of diving watch and if you want that brand go ahead and spend 15/20k, but I'm not concerned about brand. I want a good watch and this is what we have here. It arrives in beautifully bold yellow presentation box. Open it up and the watch is well protected with lots of film on the front and bracelet. Peel it off and the face is lovely and clear, the lume also works a treat for the hour markers. The date window also magnifys the date easily and clearly. The bezel can be rotated anti clockwise for diving use. It felt a bit stiff, which is better than too soft. Just rotate the marker at 12 to align with the minute hand and you can easily track time spent either underwater or since you put your dinner in the oven. The crown (winder) arrived already screwed down. This is the mark of a real diving watch. To stop water getting in lightly press the crown down and rotate so that it clamps onto the threads and seals the watch tightly. Unscrew the crown and you can then wind the watch. It will charge while being worn as thisbis an automatic movement but it's good to have the option to give it a quick charge if you won't be active or wearing it all day. Pull the crown out further and you can adjust the date and time. Then push it in and screw down again to seal. The movement is lovely and smooth, much smoother than other automatic watches i have that cost 3 times the price and thanks to the rear viewing window you can also see the internals which is nice. The bracelet is stainless and the clasp is a fold over type rather than butterfly. So it is very secure with no chance of it randomly opening and going flying. It is also a large bracelet. I have large arms and wrists and still had to take out a few links. On the wrist this feels like good quality. It's a balanaced weight. It doesn't feel like a gold brick trying to remind you and everyone around that it's there, and it also is not so light that it feels like it will fall apart. It's a happy medium. This is listed as water resistant to 200m and i can easily believe it. This is a very well made watch for an incredible price. Great value and quality. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed, unless you want a £20k branded watch. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

Took delivery of this today and I have to say I’m very pleased and impressed with it so far. It looks very striking and the size is perfect on my wrist when I took out 4 links. 200m of water resistance which I highly doubt I’ll ever need but I’m sure it’ll be fine in the shower. A very reliable NH35 movement is what attracted me to this watch. Lovely screw down crown and I love the Invicta print on the side of the case. Very decent lume also that is nice and bright. As I’ve only had it an hour I can’t comment on its durability but I’m sure it’ll be fine for what I need it for. The only let down is the bracelet which is a little jangly but a minor issue which doesn’t really bother me. Definitely recommend. Great watch for the price. Was delivered a day early too. 👍

First off, delivery. Arrived earlier than expected. Well packaged and in an excellent presentation box. No problems there. Lots of protective plastic so everthing was scratch free and pristine. Second, the watch. Great looking timepiece. Just the right size for me. Good solid feel and no thicker than other watches I have owned. Nice dial and colours with a very good date magnifying window. Very minor niggle is the dark green second hand that tends to disappear against the black watch face but it has a white spot that means I can keep track of the seconds. I am knocking one star off the overall rating as the case has some quite sharp edges. Tolerable but could do with some rounding off in manufacture. Also, the strap is quite a job to remove links from. I was beginning to think the pins had been glued in - but just needed a LOT of force to remove. I did manage to adjust it but may change to a leather strap at some time in the future. Even so, I have no complaints about the quality of the supplied strap and it compliments the watch perfectly. The clear back is nice as I can see the workings. OK, a novelty really, but I like it. Can't comment on water resistance - I don't dive or swim and have no intention of getting it wet enough to test it! Finally, the most important part, timekeeping. I don't know - and really don't care - where the mechanism is made. What I do know is it is pretty accurate. After two days it is only 5 seconds out (slow) which puts it firmly in the 'chronometer' bracket. I have a high quality watch that is only very slightly more accurate so I have no complaint with this watch's timekeeping. Super impressive for the budget price. So to conclude. Having broken my previous Invicta watch (clumsy idiot) I am really happy with this as a replacement. It looks good, feels good and works well. Given that it was reduced in the Spring sale I had not expected such a good item but I am pleasantly surprised. Having had two Invicta's now and being happy with them I would certainly buy this brand again. The last one stood the test of time (sorry for the pun) until I dropped it on concrete from a great height and expect this one will also last. Totally satisfied.

Invicta watches are great quality.I have been buying them since 2001.My first one that i purchased was about £200 from a jewelry store in mexico.I didn’t even know the invicta name then.I soon learnt all about the company.Then i started buying from amazon.I have about 40 watchesI have also given lots away as gifts.Fantastic product,would recommend invicta watches to everyone.I also have a few Lige watches which are another fantastic watch.

An absolute steal in the Amazon day sale. I've been considering an Invicta a while but never dared go for it. The sale came in and an incredible offer was there. Had to do it. The bracelet is generous, I had to take a few links out to get it to fit. One the wrist it looks like a watch worth 50 x the value. It really does look spectacular. The date window is well magnified, the time keeping is excellent. It's running at about +2 seconds which seems quite remarkable. I won't be taking in the water to test the water resistance but the quality weight and look of the piece is simply staggering. an unbelievable buy.

Good watch. Just the right size. Keeps good time and looks quite good as well. The functionality it offers is what I needed for my use. Recommend.

Invicta pro Diver 42mm wow what a beautiful watch, and a very accurate automatic Seiko movement. My other 2 Pro divers are the same movements but have the yellow winder pendulum visible in the display case back. Still the N35a movement but I suppose cost cutting taking the standard movement over the Invicta branded version . As soon as I unwrapped it I gave it a full wind and set the date and time then popped it on the timegrapher to see how it was performing. Wow equally as good as my Rolex GMT master II ( for considerably less money ) but we are talking a whole different ball game, these Invicta are my daily drivers , but that said look equally as good on the wrist. I've included a shot of the timegrapher readout, trust me you will get sideways glances at your wrist with these on, is it ? Isn't it ? The thing I like about Invicta Pro Divers they are a brand in their own right dating back to 1837 and has had several owners since and currently is in American hands. The Pro Diver , yes loosely styled around the Rolex Sub Mariner, yet doesn't try to fool the wearer. It's logo is distinctive and brand etched into the case as is the crown and the smooth sweep second hand counter balance. The dial is free of complications and clear to read. Only one criticism and it is very minor , they should upgrade the lume used on the dial and the hands to last longer once charged, it does fade quite quickly but it's not a deal breaker ( my Rolex once charged at night still glows in the morning, but if it didn't I'd want to know why) Buy one .......buy more than one if you like watches this is one to add to your collection. "Third time lucky" ....I did have 2 of these but with the steel /gold bracelet and bezel with Pepsi bezel insert but both had faulty misaligned cyclops magnifier on the date window , so I gave up trying and went for the full steel , I think it looks better really.

I’ve had a hankering for an Invicta for a while now and saw these were on offer on Prime day. At 42mm it’s about the biggest I can wear on my fairly small wrists. Accuracy is pretty good, within 8 seconds a day, but I could easily regulate it if I wanted to improve on that. The only minor gripes are a tiny pin prick mark on the bezel at about the 47 minute mark, but it really is tiny. The other which annoys me more but not enough to return it, the day magnifier is slightly out of alignment. Pretty inexcusable really but as I say, I can put up with it. It’s got a nice weight to it, it certainly feels more than an £80 automatic. The case is nicely finished, though I’m not a fan of the Invicta logo etched into the side. The bracelet is pretty decent and the clasp is extremely secure. Would I buy another? Yes, without a doubt! They’re every bit as good as everyone else says they are. There’s a blue 40mm on offer at just £73 at the moment, I fear I may be £73 lighter within the next few hours.

Nice watch. I love it. Strap is a bit light but it makes sense considering the case weight is already there.

Boutique watch, extremely well made, but at a fraction of the price

Excelente relogio. Original Invicta. Tamanho ideal. Vale muito a pena.

Thanks

Good watch
