Automatic Watches

Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.

Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).

Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.

Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.

1.0 out of 5 stars Screw Down Crown? I am not sure if it is or not..., September 16, 2010

Firstly, this watch was $[...] shipped so I can not complain about the price. I did, however, expect some higher product quality because the watch is supposedly for diving and is rated at 200 Meters. Here is the problem...I gave my 4 year old a bath and the next day my watch is all steamed up and it wont keep time. It is 15 minutes fast almost every hour and I realized that it is actually 10 days off since I bought it 60 days ago so I still wonder when did this problem really start bath time or factory? I didn't wear it in the first 45 days of ownership and it was off 10 days when I opened the box.

Here is another problem... I let it sit in the box until I had time to get the band sized and by the time I got it sized the warranty registration period was over. If you buy this watch, get it registered fast because if you don't in the first 30 days, they will not warranty the watch. Period. Unfortunately, now I have to throw mine away because the repairs are going to be more than the watch is worth.

Also, if you read the instructions, you will find that the crown is a "screw down crown" and that you will void your warranty if you pull the crown and set your watch. I expect a watch maker to send a watch with the time and date correct...don't you? This watch arrived way off time and date so I set it immediately without reading the instructions. I am a man after all and I do not need those stupid things, right? Now, I have never had a watch requiring a screw down crown and naively set my watch to the proper date and time and supposedly stripped the threads on the "screw down" crown. I never felt any resistance when I pulled the crown so I am not sure if it even is screw down but anyway the warranty that I should have registered for would be voided now anyhow.

Unfortunately, I am screwed either way you can lose in this scenario...I didn't register until 60 days and I set the date and time and voided the warranty.

Bottom line: This whole situation stinks. Invicta should make a better watch so the crown threads don't strip. If they did the proud new owner would be forced to read the directions and there would be no need to use the warranty. The fact that
Invicta is blaming me for destroying this watch and voiding my warranty tells you what kind of people we are dealing with...I will take this as a lesson learned and I will buy another brand next time.

It still warranty, but I found the fix place at Florida, and need to charge me $25 for shipping be to me when they done, plus I still need to pay shipping to over there. so I give up.

EDIT after a few weeks of ownership:
I'm lowering my rating to 2 stars from 4 for the following reason: the crown (which is not screw down thus making me wonder whether this is really water resistent to 200M or not) pops out from normal wear all the time! Because the crown is so big and grippy, and offers almost no resistance to being pulled out, I often find myself looking at my watch to find that the date has magically shifted a week ahead, and the time is off by hours. I literally re-set this watch twice a week. Invicta should have really offered a screw-down crown on this model given that it protrudes a quarter inch and is so easy to pull out.

I bought this watch as a cheap alternative to my Omega Speedmaster automatic for when I travel or am otherwise not comfortable wearing a $2500+ watch. To this end, the Invicta 6035 suits my needs very well. The reasons for 4 stars instead of 5:

1) The "fly wheel" in the back barely spins (esp. when compared with my Omega) when moving the watch around. This leads me to believe that it doesn't have the nicest movement. Though it is a Seiko movement which are supposedly of decent quality. It keeps great time... I'd just like to see the weight spin around more freely.

2) The overall build quality isn't quite great. Not bad, but not great. I got this watch as a deal of the day for $64, so I'm not dissappointed with the quality. But the bracelet scratches easily, the link pins seem a bit fragile, and the bezel seems a little cheesy with a bit too much clearance between it and the face of the watch. Also I would have liked to see an Invicta symbol etched into the crown- as it is, the profile of the watch makes it sort of look like costume jewelry. Lastly, I'm not 100% sure how it's done on a Rolex Submariner, but the date magnifier isn't etched into the crytstal. Rather, it's a little convex piece of glass fused to the regular crystal. Thus if you looked at the watch from the side you'd see a completely flat crystal with a bump for the magnifier. I'm fairly sure it's done more elegantly on the Rolex.
