Invicta Men's Pro Diver Quartz Watch with Stainless Steel Strap

Muy bonito su vicel giratorio es de buena calidad no se nota chafa, como otras marcas

Nice watch at a very good price. My first Invicta, it is well finished for an entry level model. Sizing was easy.

Perfect with and elegant.

Those familiar with my reviews in the past know that I'm a big fan of Invicta dive watches. They're dependable, rugged, beautiful and last a long time. And yes, they look EXACTLY like the Rolex Submariner. Invicta, however, doesn't pretend that their Pro Diver series of wristwatches are simply a copy or even an homage to the Rolex Submariner series of wristwatches. Invicta doesn't even hope that their watches are mistaken for Rolex, either, because the Invicta name is PLASTERED all over their watches.Invicta, after all, is a 184 year-old Swiss watch company, founded in 1837.Rolex is a 116 year-old English company founded in 1905, then moved to Switzerland after World War I.Therefore, if anyone is to be revered for their Swiss heritage, it's Invicta.Now, let's talk about the "homage" part. The modern dive watch was first invented by Blancpain with its iconic "Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe," introduced in 1953 and worn by the legendary Jacques Cousteau. The Fifty Fathoms was so iconic that...guess who...Rolex came out with a virtual copy in 1954, the Submariner.The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe dive watch has, over the last 68 years, become the iconic and archetypal design for nearly all dive watches. It has become a "style" of watch...and not an homage or copy of any one brand or model.As a result, the Invicta Pro Diver series of watches should correctly be considered as a segment of the market representing the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms/Rolex Submariner "style" of dive watches...and not an homage to anyone.I happen to own an all-gold tone Pro Diver, a gold and stainless Pro Diver, and this all-stainless steel Pro Diver. I call them respectively, "The Formal," "The Professional" and "The Standard." I purposely purchased a quartz version of the Standard because of a quartz watch's ability to keep accurate time. I use the "hacking" feature of all three watches to synchronize them to a super-accurate "atomic" clock that sits on my nightstand. The quartz version is by far the most accurate, keeping pace with the atomic clock down to the second over a weeks' time.If you are thinking of buying this watch, please note that Invicta not only makes both automatic (self-winding) and quartz versions of all three watches, but they also offer them in two sizes: 37.5mm (more suitable to women and smaller wrists) and the larger (standard) 40mm man's size. So when you order, double check to make sure you’re ordering the correct type and size.All that said, Invicta offers many more styles than Rolex or just about any other watch company. Does Rolex have such fanciful watches as the Invicta DC Comics, Disney Limited Editions, Marvel, Star Wars and many other collaborative collections?Considering all the sneaky trade-in practices, price gouging, shady marketing and other questionable business practices Rolex is famous for, I consider Rolex buyers to be either strictly investment purchasers or just plain uneducated suckers. So if you're not buying a Rolex to "flip" it a few years down the line for a profit, then you're just a sucker. I mean, c'mon, I don't care how well a watch is constructed, any watch in the $16K to $250K region is simply a ripoff.

Edit: I’ve had the silver/black one for a few weeks, the blue face one longer. These things keep time incredibly well, look awesome feel great. They seem to be only 14 grams or so lighter than a Rolex Submariner. Really well built. Anyone looking from more than 3 ft away would assume you are sporting a Rolex. That’s ok if my $50 watch looks that good.One thing to be aware of with Invicta is that many models look the same. I think I initially ordered a “pro diver” 43mm. It was large and heavy. Sent back. This model (40mm ) is perfect for me. So be aware of the specs 3mm doesn’t seem like much. If you want a BIG heavy watch buy the other one.The only possible downside is the glass material. But if it breaks or cracks replacing the watch is cheaper than a repair. Sapphire is what better watches use but the eye can’t tell from just looking at it. The only other downside is that a bad guy could easily mistake it for a Rolex and make you a theft target :(.Invicta makes incredible watches for the money. The variety they offer is pretty amazing to, but their prices and specs vary a lot as well. This is the second silver/black Invicta that I received and I really like this one. The first one, [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SH1LNRV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details] was a boat anchor. The 43mm case doesn't seem like that much bigger than this 40mm case but I would not be able to wear it. I think what makes things confusing is that Invicta uses "Pro Diver" in their model names a lot, though the product varies. I recently purchased the same watch with blue bezel and silver/gold bracelet. It is the same watch as the one I'm reviewing now. But it's real "blingy" and I wouldn't want to wear it every day. I just wanted something more plain.This watch is a pretty good knockoff of a Rolex Submariner, but at a price point where a normal guy can have a few of these laying around. I guess there is a reason that Rolex can charge up to $25k for one, but I'm not a collector and can have the look without the price tag. The one thing that I am aware of that you should be too is that the glass is crystal glass, which doesn't hold up like saphire glass does. For for something in the $50 price range if you break it you can afford to throw it away and get a new one. I'm sure Invicta has watches with the better glass.One thing to be aware of is that if you have to remove links because the braclet is pretty generous in size, you will need a pin removal tool, unlike Rolex that uses screws to secure the links. I had purchased this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087N7FGZJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1] and it worked very well and gave me everything I needed to remove links from this Invicta watch. I think I paid something like $11 for it. Never having done this before I had no difficulty removing links though I had to figure it all out as the tutorials aren't very good. Just watch the arrows on the inside of the bracelet to see which direction the pins need to be extracted.There is one thing to be aware of. Invicta watches come with layers of protective plastic. So if you're going to remove links you will have to remove the plastic first. If you're thinking of returning it, I think it is only ethical not to do any of that until you're sure you will keep it.Again, it's not a collector's watch, but is very handsome even up close. The problem is, at this price point it is too easy to buy a lot of the same style of watch in different colors. Not a horrible problem to have.

Beautiful just as said , had to get the size adjusted but it took 10 mins at a jewelry store better bigger than small . Love it and he loved it even more.
