Men's Pro Diver Quartz Watch with Stainless Steel Strap

Firstly, beyond how to how to tell the time from them, i know virtually nothing about watches - so if you want comparisons between automatic, or quartz etc,how it compares to similar watches in the same price range, or anything technical then look elsewhere. I work as a diving instructor. I don't need the watch for diving- as like most people who dive regularly i use my dive computer rather than a wrist watch. However i do always wear a watch to allow me to ensure that the dive trips/ snorkel trips are on schedule etc. Time management is a part of the job. The one "must have" criteria i have for a watch is that i don't have to remove it for Scuba Diving - beyond that i'm not too fussy really. I normally wear a cheap Casio as they do the job fine and if it flooded (they never do) it doesn't cost much to replace. My watch strap on my old Casio broke so I decided it was time for a new watch. I haven't worn an analogue watch in years and thought i'd see if i could get an inexpensive one that looked good and was capable of using when diving. Had a bit of a wander round Amazon and settled on this one. - I bought it in December when the price had dropped to $45 - about double the price of my Casio First Impressions Looks good, not too big and clunky, and the bracelet looks fine, but was waaaay too big for my wrist - I have narrow wrists admittedly, but unless you have arms like tree trunks then you will almost certainly need to remove a few links - see attached photo. Get a jeweler to do it, or you can find "how to" videos on you tube. There are no jewelers anywhere near me so i did it myself - found some of the pins were relatively easy to remove and others weren't moving for love nor money. I've never tried adjusting a watch bracelet previously, so have nothing to gauge it against, but i don't think the pins are high quality, though it could be incompetence on my part, or a combination of the two. Having adjusted the strap, the watch itself runs fine. The screw down crown allows easy adjustment. simply unscrew the crown, and then you can pull it out to the first position to adjust the date, then pull it out to the second position to adjust the time. once done, push the crown in two positions and screw the crown back in...... the last step it the really important one for ensuring the crown is watertight - if you don't screw it back in fully then your watch will flood. In a previous review I saw photos of a flooded watch, and you can see from the gap between the crown and the watch body that it hasn't been screwed in - I don't know for sure if he took it into the water like that but it it would have caused it to flood if he had. Anyway, most importantly for me, mine has remained water tight. I've taken it on numerous dives, to a max depth so far of 80 ft and had no problems. Basically this watch has ticked all the boxes i need it to on price and functionality, and looks good. I almost marked it down a little for the bracelet pins, but i suppose you do get what you pay for, and overall the value for money is great. It's the first time I've gotten round to writing a review, and it rambled on a bit, but hopefully it's helpful.

Very nice watch I love it!

I am very experienced with watches, having worked in the retail side of the watch industry for 25 years. I have owned everything from budget watches to luxury timepieces. This particular Invicta Pro Diver (model 26970) is truly amazing for the price. Naturally, no watch is perfect; I would appreciate this watch even more if it had a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and better lume. However, for such a reasonable price, I’m happy to overlook these features for a variety of reasons. This watch embraces four important aspects that make wearing it especially gratifying: 1) STYLE — I’ve always been a fan of older Rolex Submariner designs; 2) COMFORT — This quartz version is thinner than a typical Pro Diver automatic and is well- suited for my 6.5-inch wrist; 3) ACCURACY — The quartz movement in this watch is dependable and extremely accurate; 4) SCREW-DOWN CROWN — I noticed there is confusion on the Internet about whether or not this particular model has a screw-down crown, so i’d like to clarify that once and for all … This model (26970) ABSOLUTELY HAS A SCREW- DOWN CROWN, even though it may be described in some places as having a crown that is push/pull. In my opinion, the existence of a screw-down crown makes the watch more durable, and it definitely makes my purchase even more gratifying!

Great price and quality. Very durable, and love the two tone

Edit: I’ve had the silver/black one for a few weeks, the blue face one longer. These things keep time incredibly well, look awesome feel great. They seem to be only 14 grams or so lighter than a Rolex Submariner. Really well built. Anyone looking from more than 3 ft away would assume you are sporting a Rolex. That’s ok if my $50 watch looks that good. One thing to be aware of with Invicta is that many models look the same. I think I initially ordered a “pro diver” 43mm. It was large and heavy. Sent back. This model (40mm ) is perfect for me. So be aware of the specs 3mm doesn’t seem like much. If you want a BIG heavy watch buy the other one. The only possible downside is the glass material. But if it breaks or cracks replacing the watch is cheaper than a repair. Sapphire is what better watches use but the eye can’t tell from just looking at it. The only other downside is that a bad guy could easily mistake it for a Rolex and make you a theft target :(. Invicta makes incredible watches for the money. The variety they offer is pretty amazing to, but their prices and specs vary a lot as well. This is the second silver/black Invicta that I received and I really like this one. The first one, [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SH1LNRV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details] was a boat anchor. The 43mm case doesn't seem like that much bigger than this 40mm case but I would not be able to wear it. I think what makes things confusing is that Invicta uses "Pro Diver" in their model names a lot, though the product varies. I recently purchased the same watch with blue bezel and silver/gold bracelet. It is the same watch as the one I'm reviewing now. But it's real "blingy" and I wouldn't want to wear it every day. I just wanted something more plain. This watch is a pretty good knockoff of a Rolex Submariner, but at a price point where a normal guy can have a few of these laying around. I guess there is a reason that Rolex can charge up to $25k for one, but I'm not a collector and can have the look without the price tag. The one thing that I am aware of that you should be too is that the glass is crystal glass, which doesn't hold up like saphire glass does. For for something in the $50 price range if you break it you can afford to throw it away and get a new one. I'm sure Invicta has watches with the better glass. One thing to be aware of is that if you have to remove links because the braclet is pretty generous in size, you will need a pin removal tool, unlike Rolex that uses screws to secure the links. I had purchased this one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087N7FGZJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1] and it worked very well and gave me everything I needed to remove links from this Invicta watch. I think I paid something like $11 for it. Never having done this before I had no difficulty removing links though I had to figure it all out as the tutorials aren't very good. Just watch the arrows on the inside of the bracelet to see which direction the pins need to be extracted. There is one thing to be aware of. Invicta watches come with layers of protective plastic. So if you're going to remove links you will have to remove the plastic first. If you're thinking of returning it, I think it is only ethical not to do any of that until you're sure you will keep it. Again, it's not a collector's watch, but is very handsome even up close. The problem is, at this price point it is too easy to buy a lot of the same style of watch in different colors. Not a horrible problem to have.

Saat güzel görünüyor ama metal kayışın uzunluğunu ayarlamak çok zordu. Baya uğraştım. Çekiç ve ince bir uç kullanmak zorunda kaldım. Yorumlardan su geçirdiği söyleniyor. Pek güven vermedi.

ok

This should be a critical review with less stars but it’s not. The only reason I returned the watch was because the luminosity was not to the standard claimed. This may have been due to storage issues or a QA problem when assembled. Invicta have made a fantastic homage to the Rolex deep sea dweller 126660. The oyster style bracelet contains solid split pin hammered links and a secure clasp. The bracelet really delivers on quality and is equal to most of the higher end Seiko’s that I own. Very little droop when held sideways. Unusual for this price range. The 41mm case is polished and completely symmetrical with a signed screw down crown which works well through adjustment of both the hands and the date range. The bezel is aluminium and stiff. I don’t want it to be lose but I had to remove it from my wrist to make a full circle. No biggie as I’m confident it would loosen with use. Absolutely gorgeous dial face with indices correctly spaced and detailed. Mine was the quartz movement which is Japanese and known to be accurate to 4 seconds a week. I paid £46 for this timepiece and it was an absolute steal. The luminosity was important for me as I work in low light at night and this one was pretty none existent. No idea if every watch will be the same but Amazon returns are sooo good in UK that I decided to send it back and try the Addiesdive diver which came to my attention by recommendation from a couple of sources. I’ll find out on Friday. If you want a daily/breaker watch with lots of high quality components on a solid metal bracelet then this is a great buy even at the higher price of £68. Great value for the money and a beautiful looking watch.

Es ist die zweite Invicta Uhr die ich bestellt habe. Überrascht von dem tollen Preisleistungsverhältnis von der ersten Uhr habe ich eine zweite bestellt. Auch diese Uhr besticht durch eine wertige Anmutung und guter Verarbeitung. Überraschenderweise besitzt diese Quarzuhr eine verschraubbare Krone. Ich hatte in den Bewertungen davon gelesen dass einige über eine Undichtigkeit klagen und bin etwas verwundert über diese Detail. Denn es wurde nirgends erwähnt, vielleicht ist es ein neues Modell? ich weiß es nicht. Die Krone lässt sich natürlich nicht so smooth zudrehen wie bei teuren Uhren, aber diese Funktion schützt besser als ohne. Nun, ich würde eine Armbanduhr unter 80 Euro nicht als echte Taucheruhr ansehen. Es ist vielmehr eine schicke Alltagsuhr die mal einen Spritzer Wasser abhaben kann. Das Armband konnte ich einwandfrei mit Sonderwerkzeug die Glieder kürzen. Auch hier gibt es nichts zu meckern. Das Quarzwerk läuft korrekt. Der Verstell Mechanismus ist mit Gefühl zu behandeln, funktioniert auch ohne Einwände.. Die Ablesbarkeit bei Nacht ist nicht wie anders erwartet nicht so hell. Das ist aber meist bei billigen Uhren der Fall. Einzig die Datums-Lupe auf dem Ziffernglas steht nach aussen. Hier sehe ich über kurz oder lang eine Archillesferse bezügich einer Beschädigung. Der Knubbel ist nicht winzig. Der Versand und die Verpackung waren wieder einwandfrei. Die Uhr war noch jungfräulich verpackt und somit die Freude groß. (ist bei den vielen Rücksendungen auch nicht mehr selbstverständlich). Alles in allem gebe ich für diese Uhr eine Empfehlung ohne Einschränkung in Anbetracht des sehr günstigen Preises. Das die Werbung immer einwenig mehr verspricht als das Produkt am Ende hält, ist fast überall so und sollte vor dem Kauf bedacht werden. Update: 15 Monate später ging an der Uhr bei der Winterzeitumstellung nichts mehr, kein Datum keine Uhrzeit ließ sich mehr einstellen. Auch ein Batterietausch half nichts. Somit war die Freude etwas getrübt. Kurz: Bei Invicta einen Fall eröffnet, die Uhr zum Selbstkostenpreis nach Holland gesendet inkl. Rechnung und kurzer Beschreibung, Angebot abgewartet, kam nicht, Reparatur wurde erfolgreich übernommen, die Uhr kam kostenfrei im neuen Kästchen zurück. Der ganze Ablauf sehr professionell und relativ flott von Invicta ausgeführt. Auch das muss mal erwähnt werden, weil es heutzutage nicht mehr selbstverständlich ist. Da wächst das Vertrauen zur Marke. Sehr gut. Weiter so!!!

Excellent watch. Gorgeous and luxury looks like Rolex
