Gorgeous Invicta Pro Diver Red Watch!, October 11, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 6015 Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
This watch has quickly become my all time favorite watch to wear. It is impressive looking, and
the highly reflective red dial is stunning. The date is easy to see, as it has a magnifier above
it. It is highly water resistant, and I do not hesitate to wear it in the shower or doing things
where it may get wet. Being an automatic, you never have to worry about winding it, or batteries.
The flame fusion crystal is very scratch resistant and the exhibition window in the back makes it easy
to see the movement in action. The numbers and hands do glow in the dark, but I feel Invicta could have
done a better job in that respect, as they don't glow very well. But other than that, it is a
five star product in my book.

That Watch With The Shimmering Ruby Red Dial, November 21, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 6015 Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
The face of this watch is very striking with the Ruby red enamel and sunray dial shimmering with every movement as I look at it through the anti-reflective mineral crystal. It also has a powerful magnifier that makes it very easy to read the date. Invicta calls the crystal Flame Fusion(tm), saying they take a regular mineral crystal, coat it with sapphire and then fuse the two together with flame giving it the scratch resistance of sapphire and the shatter resistance of a mineral crystal. This causes some people to fall down and comence to ROFL, while others will swear it's true and threaten to come find you and then beat you about the head and shoulders for even questioning it. I guess everyone drinks their own kind of Kool-Aid. Me? I paid $49.99 for a great watch and don't really care what the crystal is called as just long as it meets certain standards and this one does. Although... if it had an AR coated sapphire crystal with a slight dome - that would be cool.
The case is 43mm, not including the crown. It doesn't have a screw down crown but Invicta says it's water proof to 200 meters. The bracelet is 20mm wide at the lugs and tapers to 18mm at the clasp, the links are 4mm thick solid stainless steel held together with pins and the whole thing is very generously sized. Okay that's an understatement, I've never seen such a large bracelet, this thing would fit King Kong! But it has plenty of removable links for adjustment so it will fit smaller wrists as well.
It has the TMI (Time Module Ltd.) NH25A Made in Japan movement. Basically a clone of the Seiko 7S25A. No hand winding, but automatic (Seiko Magic Fingers) winding in both directions gives it an excellent power reserve. I set mine and wore it for about four hours then put it away for the night, in the morning it was still running. It doesn't hack but if you move the crown slightly anticlockwise the second hand will stop or even move backward for four or five seconds, so setting it to the exact time is fairly easy and as mine gains just 8 seconds a day I only feel a need to reset it every few days. Stunning good looks, low maintenance, a quality bracelet and a reliable movement for not much money make the Invicta 6015 hard to beat in the bang-for-the-buck competition. If you buy one you won't regret it.

really beautiful watch, worth the money and more, November 16, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 6015 Pro Diver Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I really like my new 6015. The red is much nicer than the picture would indicate, much more like a blood color. The finish is very nice, and the quality seems very good, in line with the other 2 Invicta watches that I own. Some have complained about the lack of hand winding and a hack for this watch, but I have not been bothered by it. My one complaint is the lack of the Invicta logo on the side and crown, some would say that is a bonus, but I kinda like those myself. I got this model as a deal of the week for 49.99, and I think it is worth every penny and then some.
Over a month later, I have to change my review to 5 stars. I have really fallen in love with this watch, and I have gotten so many comments on it from others. I would by this watch again in a heartbeat. I hope they have a great buy on this model in blue or yellow sometime soon.
