When I started on my "Amazon watch search" I had a pretty good idea of what I needed. It had to be a watch with an assortment of characteristics. Essentially three, i. e., bracelet, dial, and date feature.

I like the metal bracelet, not the leather, rubber or vinyl straps, since the excess strap bothers me when I write. Being an MD and a concerned husband, I don't like to flash the light on my patients while they sleep or at my wife when our room is dimmed; so fluorescent time hands and an easy to read dial is a must. The last "conditio sine qua non" was that the watch displays clearly the day of the month. Since I can never remember it.

I was doubtful about a "divers style" model since my wrist's diameter is not too large, reason for which I was looking for a "dressy style." But the Invicta caught my attention. The shape is clean, wearable for every occasion and it incorporates all the essentials on my list. It is sober without looking cheap.

There are a few bonuses, now I can shower without being worried of water filtering into the case. The time piece is quartz accurate, and doesn't need me shacking my wrist to wind it, or hand winding myself. It's somewhat heavy compared to my other watches but a few seconds is all it takes to get used to. The solid stainless band with diver buckle and safety clasp assure it will never fall off by accident. The screw down security crown is an innovation in my world, it must be a plus of divers while for me it's OK.

There surged only one problem which I solved with a pair of fine hand pliers. I had to take apart a few links off the band. As the little pins are taken, some got loose and with everyday use they started to protrude from their pin holes. With the set of fine pliers I made a little twist and inserted them again. So far the problem has been solved. Oh, one comment, Invicta is a swiss watch company, but the machine says "Japan Movement." So, what's the deal here?

Essentially this Invicta time piece is quite straight forward, not too many "bells and whistles" so, I can not generalize my experience to more complex models with "moon dial" and other gizmos. It is just what I wanted, at a great price, no frills added. I hope a few months from today, when I go over this review, I will feel as satisfied as I am.

Recently I cashed all my change at a Coinstar and was given the option of them taking 8.9 cents on the dollar or getting full value from Amazon. I chose Amazon. I thought I had about a hundred in change but only had fifty something. I looked at every category to blow my money on and was enamored by the Invicta watches and the positive reviews. I chose a watch with no review (probably because it was only $50).
Since I've only had it for a day...It is so well constructed, on the heavy side, nice magnified calender (Rolex???), has kept the correct time all day and since I don't dive, I'll never know the implosion point of this exceptional timepiece. The only negatives are...it's hard to change the time due to the diver style screw down crown and the Flea market, bright yellow box, oh yeah, if you like instructions you'll receive a 45 page book.

I bought this watch for my boyfriend as a birthday gift. What a great watch for the little bit of money I paid for it. He was more impressed with the nice box the watch came in. I have purchased Invicta for him before and paid a ton of money for the watch. This watch is equally if not nicer than the first Invicta I purchased for him. I would recommend this watch just for the price alone, and with the Invicta name no one will be the wiser on how much you really spent.

This is a great watch, especially for the price I paid - $41 when Amazon had a 25% off Invicta sale. (A few hours after I ordered, Amazon raised the regular price from $55 to over $75.) The watch has a solid, quality feel to it, especially the bracelet. It also keeps good time, losing only 2 or 3 seconds a week, if you set it using an "Atomic Time" clock. I do have a few disappointments. The watch is slightly smaller than I had hoped for. Amazon lists the case as 41mm wide, but that measurement includes the stem on the right side. The case itself is actually about 37mm wide. The white dial measures 28mm wide and the blue/red bezel ring is 35mm wide. If you're looking for a big diver-type watch, this is not for you. Its smaller size is better for everyday wear, and it easily fits under the cuff of a dress shirt. I've also noticed that the second hand is not aligned. As it ticks around the dial, it stops in-between the second markers. The last point is the red/blue bezel ring appears to be a very thin layer of paint on the metal bezel, and I have a feeling that it might scratch very easily. In spite of these few shortcomings, I am still very pleased with my purchase.

thought i would try something a little different. really pleased with the robustness of this watch. overall, a good watch for camping and outdoor activity. the crown, can sometimes slip when i initially set the time, but now know to push it in harder, and have no problems.

The Invicta 8933 Pro Diver watch is a very nice watch that I call my patriotic watch. It has a very nice white dial with the bezel being split between red and blue. The watch keeps very accurate time and the band was easily adjusted to fit my wrist. Some reviews claimed the watch dial is a bit small but I don't think so and I have fairly large wrists. This is mt first Invicta watch and so far so good.

This watch is really nice looking. It's not too large for my very thin 18 year old son's wrist. He gets lots of compliments. Unfortunately, it stopped keeping the correct time after the first month. Advice to others?.....make sure you fill out the online warranty. I didn't and now my son is stuck with a great-looking non-functional watch.

Quite a nice watch. The picture showing watch dimesions could be a bit misleading though, the band width is 18mm as stated in the details but it seems much larger in the picture, that said it's not too small and the watch looks good. One of my kids must have dropped it because there is a huge circular mark on the inside of the screen that looks like a section of the screen has broken off but is not fully detached, I also managed to scratch the glass within 2 weeks of getting the watch which was a surprise as I assumed the screen was made of harder material than regular glass. All said it is a good watch and I've already ordered my second Invicta but will be more careful with the screen this time

This is a solid watch.It looks good and feels good. I would had preferred it was a little bigger, but its ok for daily use. I used every day in every informal setting. I am very happy with the quality and the price.

The first watch, and the one Amazon sent to replace the first didn't work. The first lost about 1-minute per hour of time and then all together quit working. The second didn't work at all. How can you ship a watch and not check to be sure it is working? I am most disappointed in Amazon, I have several Invicta and they are nice watches.
