Got mine on black Friday for 33 bucks! Absolutely love it. Great review
Hi from New Zealand, I have just purchased this watch & I love it, I’ve had it a couple of days & already getting compliments. Awesome video by the way. I’ve just edited this comment, my watch has a screw down crown
Love my quartz Invicta pro diver. It keeps good time and is a great value for the quality. I have the 26970 model and it comes with a screw down crown.
Good review... just ordered this watch. I have a small wrist so I think it will look great!
Great watch! Absolutely sollid and looks gorgeous. I had no idea it has a Seiko PC32A movement. It's great to know. Thank you for this review.
Totally agree, it really is a solid piece. The PC32A isn't an earth-shattering movement, it's actually designed to be a ladies movement, but it gets used a lot in men's watches simply because it's slim, rock-solid reliable, and can easily be adapted, and it works well in this watch. It really is a fantastic deal on a solid watch. Thank you for watching!
My quartz Invicta is 40mm and it exactly the same watch, just a few mm bigger AND mine has a screw down crown
I just got on board the invicta train lol really nice. I was surprised how good it really was or is thank you great review
Mine is a screw dwn crown btw
Because of your review, I purchased this watch. Perfect diver for my small wrist. Love it! 🔥
It's a lovely affordable 38mm(a bit small for my wrist but i really like it) quartz diver watch....I have the one with the scalloped bezel....I just removed the Cyclops since I am not such a big fan....Bracelet was OK but in a vintage NATO strap looks even better....I have actually wear it while i was snorkeling and despite the fact that it doesn't have a screw down crown was OK....I hear a lot of people complaining about Lume in Invicta diver watches(among other things they complain about while i find Invicta a very good brand)....Who is actually going to dive with this watches or who is actually a diver????I have 22 years in the Army and I find my 40 euros Casio(MTD-1053)to be an exceptional and robust watch which had suffered very tough conditions and still keeps ticking and doesn't even have a scratch....we are not all 007 to wear Omega!!!! I always thought that for quartz watches is not usually recommended to pull up the crown and have it not working in storage condition,is not good for the battery or something like that but i guess it has to do with the type and the quality of the quartz movement....Once more a great review....Greetings from Greece and keep up the god job!By the way the new Wenger Sea Force was released and it looks great....
Thank you! I agree, it is a wonderful watch, spectacular quality... and such a good value. It's timeless styling of course... but an excellent watch. On hacking Quartz... the newer movements are actually designed now to incorporate that feature intentionally to safe power. It works really well for big box stores so that their inventory doesn't die-out and then they have to start replacing them on warranty or service them in-store for batteries.
I will definitely check out the new SeaForce!!! I didn't realize there was a new one! Thank you!
You are right! I have a few different Pro Divers, all automatic though.
The automatic Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is using a Seiko NH35A, not an ETA movement
Nice review. I’ve ordered one!
Thank you for the video, I’m currently looking for a Subby homage with good bang for my buck BUT I’ve small skinny wrists & I don’t want it end up with a huge bulky watch that looks manly on me. I think this one fits the bill ! 🙌🏻
Thanks Tracy, glad I could help! I would say that I really liked this watch, it was fantastic quality and fit and finish for the price. I ended up selling it because I have 7.5" wrists, and I already had lots of divers. This is a fantastic watch. There are two models of this watch, the automatic, and the Quartz variety. The automatic one is a little bit more expensive and also has a screw down crown. For me, I prefer the Quartz movements for watches like this because I don't want to have to keep resetting the time every time I wear it. But if it's something you'll only wear once in a blue moon (or literally every single day), then the automatic will be a bit nicer. Thanks for watching!
BTW: for around 90 bucks, Invicta also has models built for depths of 300 meters (1000 feet)! I just figured for my NBF wars (Naval bathtub fleet wars), a 200 meter watch is more than enough
Thanks for the video
Great watch... the identical automatic version of this watch the 8926ob has the screw down crown... cheers from Canada! :)
Actually, the quartz equivalent of the 8926OB is the 26970. I have both, and they are identical in every way except for the movement. The 26970 is exactly the same size as the 8926OB, and has a screw down crown.
The watch in this video is the 89320B, which does not have a screw down crown, and is actually a little smaller too. I have no idea why they make two models that are so similar to each other, but if you want the quartz equivalent of the 8926OB, it is the 26970.
I have the automatic Invicta 200m has a screw down crown which works great
The 9937OB Pro diver with the Swiss Sellita automatic movement is a great watch for the money. ⌚👀👍
Great Content.
I have one, wearing it right now, good review; it’s a great classic looking watch.
The endlinks are folded, not solid right? Have you had any problems with the endlinks?
@@en9717 No problems
What is your current opinion for this watch
I have an Invicta 9204 Pro Diver Quartz 200meter arriving today, courtesy Walmart for USD 32.40 :) It has a PC32A caliber, which seems to be just fine, despite somebody here complaining about it. Maybe that guy had a bad bad sample?
BTW: You mention USD 5000 for a Rolex? BWAH-HAAAH-HA-HA-HAAAAHH ... maybe for a banged up used one :)
I also have 2 automatic Invicta Pro Divers with the NH35A movement, which for a mechanical movement is unbelievably accurate. Maybe not as accurate or precise as a Rolex, but having paid less than 70 bucks for each, that is less than 1/200th of what a new Rolex Submariner costs. Rolex starts at about USD 7500 for a basic Oyster! A Submariner starts at around 15-20K, typically more around 40K, and if you want to donate more than 100K to the Rolex people's Swiss tax shelters, you can totally do that! Any perceived difference in quality boils down to being just picky, picky, picky, and maybe two or three seconds a day for the automatics.
A dirt cheap Casio quartz, or that 32 dollar Invicta 9204 quartz from Walmart, is however more accurate than most Rolex watches in existence. My Invicta Pro Diver automatics are very fine watches indeed, and a very serious value at about 1/300th the price of a new Submariner!
When it comes to accuracy, this side of refrigerator sized atomic clocks in labs, "the Schwartz is with the Quartz!" for under 25 bucks in a Casio W201. My last one lived almost 20 years with its original battery (never used the light!) and it was far better than Casio's advertised +/- 20 seconds/month, as it had stayed within 30 seconds when I set it once every year or so!
I get a lot of flack for this... but I always tell my friends... you could spend $100k on a watch, and I can spend $10, and we'll both have the same time. :)
Well I've got current model and... now it have screw down crown, and Invicta marking on side removed
I think there is a prejudice against Invicta. It looks like a great value for the money.
i got the quartz 38mm version,love the small dial ,42mm and over dont care for,dont want big ben on my wrist.nice but i wish it were automatic.46 bucks on amazon.
It’s a very nice watch!
I rock the automatic version on a Bond NATO strap.
Nice!!!
Where did you find the bond nato strap?
@@pauliewalnuts5241 Amazon.
bwahahaha, on the Invicta video when Sandy introduced himself as chief designer of Invicta watches, the auto-caption rendered it as "I am the chief designer of the infected watches".
Great review! Two questions: Doesn't the automatic version of this watch has a screw down crown? Does this watch with a Quartz movement even need a screw down crown?
A screw-down crown is generally more ideal for diving simply because it ensures better compression on the gasket. The Rolex version of this watch (where this watch got its design features from), has a gasket in the tube as well as at the back of the crown. This prevents water from getting into the movement... but on these watches, there's just a gasket at the back of the crown which only seals when it's closed. If you were to accidentally pop open the crown in the water... it significantly reduces the water resistance, down to something like 10 meters or less.
People see a guy with a Rolex and they say... Is it real?
Agree with everything said but ı think the watch being on the smaller side is not just fine actually its better. I even buy the smaller sized 38mm and ı get nothing but compliments (probably also because of the beautiful bllue on the case and dial)
Yeah, it's just a bit difficult for me because I have large hands and wrists... but I generally do not like those behemoth watches. These nicer ones are more subtle.
@@ToddsWatchshop ı have a friend with large hands and wrist and even 44 mm looks good on him so I can relate👍🏻 it's a matter of proportions
Nice video. True on Invicta. But Not all quite true on Rolex Sub ;). 8000.- , Rolex movement 3135, not ETA 2824. You can purchase watches with 2824 for 500.- to .1000.-. I bought the Pro Diver 9937 Auto with Swiss Sellita SW 200 mvmt. Hasn‘t arrived yet from New York. I’m German. Sellita actually is a 2824 clone. All the best in 2021!
I saw the automatic one after I purchased this one... very nice.
Is there an automatic version of this watch with the same 38mm size?
thanks
Hi! Yes, there is! It's a little bit more expensive, but it uses an NH35 if I remember correctly. Just search for Invicta Pro-Diver "Automatic"
The one you're showing nice but I don't think it's an automatic that's probably that's why there is not a screw down Crown but nice watch anyway
Yeah, it's the standard Quartz one. Still nice, but I can tell definitely that the automatic would definitely be a bit nicer.
Could this be a one watch collection watch?
Haha, I suppose it could be. It’s certainly a good watch.
The Pagani Design PD1661 is far superior. And it's way better with features.... Sapphire crystal, solid end links, links, screw pins, milled clasp, better magnification, better bezel action, ceramic bezel, etc. Much much nicer.
It's a very common design, of course modelled after the Rolex... but I was pretty impressed with the simplistic quality this Invicta had. I've been meaning to get a few Pagani watches... but just haven't gotten one yet. Soon though!
There are Grand Diver Automatics that start at 38 mm,fantastic watch! there is no ETA mvt in the One pro Diver! It's Sellita! Never buy for MSRP! Watch who you buy from though!
Nice watch. Got myself also some pro divers. But I’m not an fan of the quarts watches. The one you got, the hands are not lined up. Sadly...😳 anyway keep up the good reviews! 💪🏻👍🏻
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Its called a "Pro Diver", and the bezel doesn't work ?? That's a HUGE problem. Rolex bezels work, and people absolutely dive with them. You also mentioned "early 70's James Bond" and showed Timothy Dalton who was Bond in the late 80's.
I couldn’t find a good picture of Roger Moore or Sean Connery… so Timothy Dalton it is.
If I was going to go diving, to be honest, I wouldn’t use a Rolex or an Invicta. I’d probably use some digital equipment with a timer on my regulator , that also had an altimeter or depth meter.
Another thing that’s an issue… small jewelry and watch bands can be misconstrued as shiny fish scales, and can lead to attacks by barracudas… which is not fun. So when I go snorkeling… I usually am not wearing a watch.
@@ToddsWatchshop When you are diving, keeping track of your bottom time is very critical, so a watch is necessary. Barracudas being attracted to jewelry is an old wives tale. Barracuda attacks on people are incredibly rare. You are about 1000 times more likely to be bitten by a neighbor's dog than a barracuda. They can be poisionous however so while I don't mind swimming with them, I wouldn't eat them.
@@gregbarry5875 Is this true? I literally have a video posting on Monday where I mention the same thing again. It's terrifying looking, haha... to be honest, I've never been bitten by one. But when I used to snorkle regularly, I would see them. They would make a perfect sphere around me... with maybe a 5-6 feet separation. The pictures I found on Google Images do not do it justice. The ones I would normally see in the Florida Keys have these enormous gangly teeth that scream "I will eat you if given the chance, just try me..." but this makes me feel better. I always just took that comment at face value.
@@ToddsWatchshop They look mean and they will follow you, but they won't bite you. They may take a fish off of your spear, but that's it.
Can i swim with that watch?
100%! You will have no problems swimming with that watch.
@@ToddsWatchshop Thanks alot, it will be the first watch I will buy :)
Before I bought this watch I couldn't swim, now that I have it I can swim. It's a miracle!
The pc32a movement is garbage…..impossible to get minute hand to set correctly….jumps 15-30 sec when hacked.sometimes forward….sometimes backward. This watch going in the trash because of the frustration caused by the junk movement.
Your comparing a Rolex to a invicta? Are you high? Lol
Haha, you understand the Invicta is supposed to be an homage replica of the Rolex Submariner, right?
😂😂😂 don't get so butthurt.
