I just received one of these to go along with another Pro Diver, the number escapes me just now. This particular watch is huge. When I opened the box I was surprised at its mass. B-I-G.
Any style points aside, the Invicta automatics in the low price range are running 21 jewel Miyota movements. When you look into automatics you'll figure out that many Swiss "made" watches are using - um - components and assemblies from other countries. Well, one country in particular. No matter. The Japanese movements might be doing the same outsourcing, but I've yet to find anything to back it up. Point is, these are Made in Japan movements and run very well. My other Pro Diver has been fast by MAYBE 5 seconds a day. This one is too new to tell yet.

I go for value shopping and these watches are knocking my socks off.

A couple points:
1) Buy a band sizer here on Amazon while you're getting a watch. Cheap and effective.
2) Invicta seems to have a bad reputation for customer service. I have no experience with them. Might be a good idea to buy your watch from Amazon, as they have fantastic customer service. I CAN speak for that!

Above all, have fun with these. If you bust an Invicta you won't kill your wallet....but you'll rue the loss of a tremendous value. On value- mind the dollar index. These aren't made in the USA. If you think the exchange rate will be favorable later, wait to buy. If you believe the opposite, pull the trigger NOW! (Many times!)

As always, Amazon's shipping was fast and effective (and above all free for prime customers!)

This watch came in the standard Invicta cheesebox, packaged the same way as the rest of their non-reserve lineup. The hinged box is a nice touch at a price point dominated by collector's tins and plastic cases.

I bought this watch to wear to work and it fit the kitchen environment perfectly. The big dial is readable at a glance, and the hands provide great contrast on the black face making it that much easier to read. The blue second hand does have a tendency to be somewhat more difficult to read against the black face.

I really like the styling of this watch, which is what led me to purchase it in the first place. It takes more than a few styling cues from the Omega Planet Ocean, but maintains enough differences so as to have its own personality.

All this said, the watch is just plain old TOO BIG. 47mm case size listed does not include the massive crown. The 24mm lugs make it hard (but not impossible) to find a decent strap for it. The 24mm lugs call for a 24mm bracelet, which will make you want to find a strap for it. I didn't weigh the watch, but I estimate its weight to be somewhere around 12-14 ounces...it is a serious piece of metal wrapped around your wrist.
This watch would be great for someone who likes big watches, but unfortunately for me I'm just not that person and this one is on the trading block.
