4.0 out of 5 stars
Handsome, accurate, and affordable, November 26, 2007
This review is from: Invicta Men's 9312 Pro Diver Gold-Tone Watch (Watch)
I own this watch along with several more Invicta's. I have found them to be trouble free and keep excellent accurate time. I already owned the 9311 which is the black face and bezel version of this same watch. (See my review on that watch) I was so impressed with it I decided I wanted this watch in Blue. By the way, at this writing the 9311 can be picked up here on Amazon for less than $90, a great value!
This watch operates on a quartz Swiss movement that you will find keeps excellent time only varying a few seconds a month. The uni-directional bezel is operational and not just for looks. The screw down crown offers excellent water resistance. You have to turn it counter clockwise to loosen it away from the case and then pull it out for date and time settings After doing this don't forget to screw it all the way back in. This is easy and not a hastle. The face and markers are easy to read and the date magnifier makes reading the date easy also. The cobalt blue bezel and face are stunning against the gold tones of this watch. The Bracelet is substantial and comfortable. The highly polished 23k gold plating against the brushed gold tones gives the watch an even more rich look. The cobalt blue bezel stays constant while the face seems to change hue with angle of view and light source giving a wide range from almost purple to deep blue to black. On looks alone this watch stands up to the Rolex of the same design but of course you are not investing thousands here. The tritnite used by Invicta for luminosity works well enough for short periods of time but fades more rapid than on some more expensive brand watches. This is the only reason I do not give this watch 5 stars. However, at this price, it is not an issue with me.
Battery change is not a problem. While I have not had to change a battery on this watch or the 9311 I have on two other Invictas that I own and I found the batteries available at Walmart. So, you will be able to have this done at any jeweler if you choose not to make the change yourself. As it has a screw down back like many other well branded watches, Seiko, Citizen, etc., you must have the right tool for doing this yourself and if you do not you would have to have a jeweler do it for you anyway. Expect to pay around $10 to $15 for this to be done. Your watch does not have to be sent back to Invicta for this simple maintenance.
Lastly, the advertised picture posted here on Amazon did not do the watch justice so I posted a few that better represents how the watch looks. Still, the watch looks better than what I posted.
I do not regret in any way my purchase(s) and would spend the money again.
Very highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Looks nice, but not exactly as pictured, February 27, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 9312 Pro Diver Gold-Tone Watch (Watch)
I purchased this watch because I got it for a steal- I paid about 75$ and got it shipped overnight. The pictures and reviews made it seem flawless, but when I recieved it, I was a little dissappointed.
The outer part of the band does not look as classy as I had hoped, but the inside is brilliant and polished. The face goes very nicely with the watch, but the band just looks a little cheap.
