I'm having this one for 14 years, never failed...it had handled hits, diving, swimming, downhill, etc...every extreme condition...this watch is a must have, no need of a Rolex, Omega, etc...
@@xb1ack140 that's the thought of a poor man...if I have money I'm not gonna waste it in something that can give the same think than a cheaper thing, example, watches...you get it? you don't need to show something so the people can see you are successful, that's for people with low self-esteem: narcisists and psychopaths...
I've had mine for over3 years and its never missed a beat. People say "is that a fake rolex" I say "No, its a genuine invicta pro diver". If and when it fails, I'll just buy another one.
Just got one of these as a a gift for graduating nursing school. Very happy with this so far as my first automatic. Only time will tell about reliability.
1:50 the amount of attention to details and quality at this price point is crazy . I have two pro-divers this black one and its gold/black twin . Love my invictas
Fantastic value. The movement is made by Seiko, and mine was very accurate from the factory. Over the last three days, it has only lost 1,1 seconds a day. It loses a few seconds during the day, and runs a little faster by night when resting with the dial up on the nightstand.
As an invicta owner, it’s absolutely great. Like you said, I have worn in for years and swear by its reliability. It has survived a ton of shot, even survived a skateboard crash that resulted in me spraining my wrist but the watch was fine. Part of the reason I’m not wearing it now is because I accidentally magnetized the hairspring, causing it to be around a few minutes fast. Nothing permanent thankfully.
@@WatchClicker You like more the watches that you can put in a safe and hope that they were more much money worth after a couple of years. A real watch lover wear his watch.
I don't care what anyone says about Invicta watches. I love the ones that I have and are good watches. As far as homages go every watch company copies each other from expensive to cheap. I have a Breitling, Longines, seiko, citizen and so on. I love them all. Each has a time and place to be worn. Besides not everyone can afford a 20k watch. If it makes you happy wear it. :)
The new one came out which is the Pro Diver Men Model 47720 - Men's Watch Automatic. But it’s with an adjustable mesh bracelet which will get by this week
@@Wienerchrist123 Yeah I love it. The NH35 in mine runs about 12 seconds a day slow which I don't think is too bad. Good strong build and looks great, but you have to be sure you won't be bothered by the Invicta Logo on the side of the case. Great value for money though!
Bezel. Bezel. Bezel. 60 teeth. Unlike the submariner, here you can use them to time intervals over 15 minutes with the same precision. On my 8926OB, the teeth are perfectly aligned with the minute markers.
You can super glue something in there, I used a very small cubic zirconia and makes it pop, sure it doesn't light up But invicta has terrible lume anyways
And there are those like myself who weren't born with money but later aquired serveral Rolex sports models including two submariners yet would still rather daily a Invita Pro diver due to the crazy values of the Rolex sports models regardless of how many others say it's dumb to leave the Rolex's in the safe.
I just bought one on Amazon much less and can't wait to get this!!! Great, video. It will be my first automatic but as I am learning more, I'm sure it won't be my last. It's a great looking watch and I love the movement and reliability that Seiko brings to the table. I do like the smoothness of the Rolex sabmariner second hand but I just can't afford a $10k watch. So this truly is a bargain for under $100.... much less zeroes than a Rolex without much downside.
I own one and just use it as an everyday watch that I would never trust as a dive watch, which is fine since I didn't buy it to play Jacques Cousteau in. If it breaks, or gets lost no big deal. It's an attractive and reliable watch, yes it is a knockoff and screw the watch snobs.
Just purchased it for $53.87, I'm bringing it to the military with me as my "do everything watch" other than having my gshock on for pt and in the field.
Most people who bought an Invicta Pro Diver or Grand Diver have never dived and will never dive. The plus side is that they look like the Rolex Submariner. If these timepieces can last a day in the pool, it will be a very positive result! Finally, the price is unbelievable 🌟
I liked how those "strong opinions" about this watch were treated objectively in this video. Great points and great shots throughout the vid! 😁 @cepriasolorg

Tengo el reloj una semana, verdadero engaño comprarlo de Amazon, el mecanismo es otro (no es amarillo, ni con logo de la marca) y la fluorescencia un desastre (dura poco y no funciona el de las 6)
Lose the engraving fix the case brushing, deep six the glass back ,the market has a lot better to offer ..addiesdive and steeldive have better models as well,not just making them bigger and uglier. That said at 50 bucks I'm giving it a try, many mods especially changing the cliche dial will bring my cost to about 65$ now that's a bargain..

completely agree. People need to take smart decisions
i mean if you've got lots of money, might as well spend it on a good watch

Best way to look at it! It’s a great watch
I’m done paying over 2-3k for watches.
Just got one of these as a a gift for graduating nursing school. Very happy with this so far as my first automatic. Only time will tell about reliability.
1:50 the amount of attention to details and quality at this price point is crazy . I have two pro-divers this black one and its gold/black twin . Love my invictas
Totally agree. The QC for the $35-70 they charge is pretty great
Which colour looks best

Invicta Watches are very reliable ..I have a few....and for me they last for years ...love invicta !!

@@catalin1859 ok
Ah another skateboarding and invicta pro diver enthusiast, that's awesome.
I have this watch for 7 years now and it keeps on going. It's a bang for your buck. Such a great watch with an affordable price for an automatic.
Exactly, part of the reason it is so good!
Is it still running now and have you ever gotten it serviced? Sorry this is late 😁

Exactly!
One of my favourite watches . Got it on wrist rn with a gray nato. Whenever I travel I bring this watch. A 10k look for under £100
I love seiko watches and own a few. This watch is also in my collection. Well worth the price, solid and trustworthy
This watch is a great value. I have owned on now for 6 years with no problem.
I love my Invicta Pro Diver. I have the quartz version also bc i liked how thin it lays on the wrist.
The new one came out which is the Pro Diver Men
Model 47720 - Men's Watch Automatic. But it’s with an adjustable mesh bracelet which will get by this week
Should be a $100 watch all day. Mine has held up besides the bracelet scratches very easy, loses a few seconds a day but very nice overall.
I've had my 8926OB for about 18 months now and love it! I'd be happy to buy another if anything happened to it!
Hey man how is it now? Im thinking about buying the same model
@@Wienerchrist123 Yeah I love it. The NH35 in mine runs about 12 seconds a day slow which I don't think is too bad. Good strong build and looks great, but you have to be sure you won't be bothered by the Invicta Logo on the side of the case. Great value for money though!

Lost my pip on the bezel. But other than that, it is a great watch. Takes a beating, and looks great.

100% agree

And you can actually use this watch. I take mine kayaking frequently. Not scared to loose or break it. No way i would wear a rolex kayaking.
Great video guys!
Thanks so much!

@Robbiebirnie1- great mod base once you remove the tramp stamp. I’ve got 2 builds based on this model.
Mine is coming tomorrow, can't wait...:))
Enjoy it!
Excellent daily beater...I just got one to mod but liked it so much I bought another to wear
I've picked another one up to mod, should be fun!
Got one of these coming in a couple days. It's my first watch I've ever bought. I figured for the price it wouldn't be a bad one to start with lol
If you prefer quartz, get the Casio Duro. If you want an automatic under $80, get the Invicta Pro Diver 8926ob.
Agreed!
does anyone know its 23k gold ?
owning this watch, id love to see a more pricier version, solid end links, sapphire glass, etc..
You could modify it to have those things and still save some cash
Check out the 9937OB
I've got 2, and love em both
Nice!
The lume is not very bright, but you can still see it clearly in pitch black, pretty much through the night.
Yup, for the price point is it perfectly acceptable.
Just purchased it for $53.87, I'm bringing it to the military with me as my "do everything watch" other than having my gshock on for pt and in the field.
Agreed 100%. Awesome watch.
Boom!

Its an awesome watch, I too have it Doesn't look less than a Rolex. I also have reviewed an Invicta watch
👍
I'm excited about the give away! @MrCheckOh
This or Seiko 5 SNKE53?
I have 2 8926OB......Both of them only lose 4-5 sec per day while wearing....not too shabby!
Not too shabby at all!
Great review! 😙😃
Thank you

Qual o valor dele por favor
how come no one talks about the 23K Gold its has ? Invicta 17045 vs 8928OB ....one is 18k gold...and the other is 23K gold
Probably because they don't cost $75! But in all seriousness, Invicta has a lot of depth to their catalog.
Awesome mod base! Just need to spend some time with a dremel to remove the logo from the case. :-) Great review. 💪 @rollthewindowdown
I own one. Use it on NATO straps. Great watch.
Definitely!
Id buy this a million times over a fake rolex
where can i buy this?
With black Friday coming up (if you're in the US) keep an eye on Amazon as they will likely be on sale.
