4.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth the money, October 14, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 5017 Pro Diver Collection Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I bought this watch about a year ago with the intention of using it only for light SCUBA diving, and it has turned into my every day watch. I have at least one person a week comment it while I am at work, and people often mistake it for a watch that costs far more money.
Pros:
Looks like it costs thousands more than it did.
Glows very well in the dark
Extremely quiet movement. Most people probably can't even hear it with their ear pressed to the case.
Rotating Bezel lines up very well with the numbers on the face.
Cons:
Extremely heavy.
No divers extension clasp. (This is a rare feature on lower cost watches anyways. I replaced the bracelet with a rubber one.
Sharp Crown. (This may have just been mine, but the crown was very sharp. It was so sharp that I had to stop wearing the watch, as it was cutting my skin, as well as rubbing a hole through my wetsuit. I took it to my jeweler and he ground down the stem a bit, which most jewelers will do for free. The watch is extremely comfortable now.)
All in all, this watch is highly recommended.

A very, very nice watch for the money, July 4, 2010
This review is from: Invicta Men's 5017 Pro Diver Collection Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I bought this Invicta watch at Costco on sale for $99. It's amazing a watch as nice as this had that price. Ive been wearing it for 2 years, and never had a bit of trouble with it at all. Its very accurate, about 2 secs per month. Ive had several people ask if its a Rolex or comment on its rugged looks- I bought it because it has the Rolex styling, but with a quartz movement. This watch does not have a screw down crown, but the company says the watch is rated at 200m nonetheless. The band is wide and heavy, and the watch is heavy and solid. I have 2 Seiko watches similar to this watch, for which I paid at least $200 ea for, on line ($350 retail), and this watch easily compares.

Shop no further, this is the watch to buy., October 21, 2009
This review is from: Invicta Men's 5017 Pro Diver Collection Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I purchased the Invicta Pro Diver series watch a little over a month ago, and from day one of wearing it, I have gotten compliment after compliment about this watch. Very nice looking watch. I was surprised from the minute I opened the shipping box, at the quality not only of the watch, but the case that it comes in. I would expect packaging like this from other watches 10x the price of this one. I am one very pleased buyer. Oh, did I mention it has swiss movement? I couldn't believe it myself.
