I really love these watches and know all about them. But I am curious how the pins in the band are doing months after being in the ocean. Please let us all know. I have the same watch that I wear as a beater everyday but haven't had the opportunity to dip in the oceans.
Wonders of Watchdom i just got a grand diver, whats your opinion on that one?
what you know about watches you can wright on a stamp lol the invicta case is a chinese fake rolex case and the movement is ok for cheapest seiko movement ! but anybody who knows little something about watches wouldnt touch it with a barge pole full stop !!!
You repeatedly mention "this price point" in the video but (unless I'm mistaken) never mentioned the price. Is it about $100 as are prices via the AMZ link?
HIGHLY_DEVELOPED_ BS_DETECTOR
I bought a Pro Diver before I knew anything about watches; I honestly didn't even know it was a Sub homage watch. I just liked the look and clicked buy. That was 15 years ago and it is still going strong.
some call it a "homage", other call it a counterfeit.
@@lexcorpone counterfeits would be branded "Rolex". Nobody with a clue will think this watch is a Rolex.
@@lexcorpone it's a double counterfeit roles and Saco,, good hybrid
@@lexcorpone Counterfeit or not, he's $7900 richer. It probably keeps better time also.
Same here…..RG,Sydney OZ
I bought an Invicta, and liked it so much I bought 53 more.
I bought 54
Look people, we found those mad men who buy 50 something watermellons, from elementary school mathematics problems
TAKE IT FR A WIDOW WHIS HUBBY HAS DIED AND HE SPENT MUCH MONIES ON THESE WATCHED AND MERCHANTS ARE TELLING ME THEY ONLY GIVE YOU 25$ A WATCH . THEY HV OVER SATURATED THE MARKET THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD AND MYYYY HUBBY HAS FIVE OF THEIR SPECIAL YELLOW BOX 📦 WITH ALL THOSE FANCY CLOSURE S YOU KNOW WHY I'M TALKING ABOUT HE HAD five FULL OKAYY
OH WHY DO THERE DIALS BREAK UP AND WHY DOES THERE BAND'S COME APART SO MUCH YES THOSE DAM BAND FALL APART BUYER BE WEAR WIDOWS TO
I was the one who bought 53 watches !!!! And I stuck them up my arse!!!!!
As a poor person that likes nice things. I absolutely love Invicta. They look nice. And they are durable.
I hear you.
Tissot. Swiss. Good value.
Very cute profile hedgehog 🦔
@Greg Maxim their movements are Seiko!
I really don't think that's trash. Get out of here you damn troll.
@Greg Maxim Grand Seiko is not junk. Your opinion is not specific to cases, screw down crowns, or sealant. Eta 7750 is a durable movement at a meager 350 to 400 USD price tag. Unless you can prove how the NH35A Sii by Epson is worse in comparison to any Eta, your claim is invalid. Don't forget to compare cases, crowns and sealants.
@Greg Maxim Indeed.
I bought a Pro Diver based off this review. A year later and it’s still going strong! Accurate to 2/3 seconds per day, has been in the water several times for swimming and diving. Gets the most wrist time in my collection. Great little watch, thanks for the review!
Don’t ever admit you
Bout a invicta please.
That comment says more about you than it does about me my friend. I BOUGHT AN INVICTA, AND I LOVE IT! @@Bdigital9482
I bought mine 8 years ago off Amazon, and it's still ticking away!
@@Bdigital9482 I bought an Invicta… and I don’t regret it!
You couldve gotten steeldive or pagani for that money
I work construction. I collect watches. I bought an Invicta 8927OB for my daily because at $75 it is a wonderful watch! I've kicked the shit out of this thing everyday for nearly a year now and it still looks wonderful and functions perfectly. I shower with it nearly every day. No water leaks. Still holds time perfectly. And for what I wear it through its holding up very very well. I will be buying another one and modifying this one
I have one for you
Four years of almost everyday wear, several holidays, numerous swimming sessions and workouts and it's still going strong and looking good!
Never had a problem with it and it keeps excellent time courtesy of the Seiko movement.
Mine is about 10 years old, and has been working fine.
I have gold and blue one , and went swimming in St.Thomas, Nassau, St.Martin, Tortola.... never had a problem...
Watch snobs...”Blasphemy!”
@@markporter2642 not really watch snob here, but i do believe if you cant afford it dont fake it, and to me a homage is nothing more than a fake/copy. I mean I dont mind if the watch has similarities with prior watches but exact copy is just bad taste
@@A-Addas I can afford to go out today and buy a half dozen Rolex's in cash but I would never feel comfortable wearing them and I would consider it a waste of money just like I would consider a luxury car a waste of money. Ironically most people who drive luxury cars can't afford them either. I've never really worried about impressing others and I look for value for my money. I agree this Invicta is more than a homage, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it an exact copy either. It's not trying to fool anyone. It's not branded as a Rolex. I don't see anyone trying to fake anything here.
Bought an Invictra Grand Diver in two tone Rose gold 10 years ago.
First signs of wear came after 7 years, but that was just the gold double fading, so even that is pretty impressive. 7 years of doing construction work, digging sewers and doing paver work. Not a single scratch on the crystal, even tho I smash the watch pretty often against concrete, metal and stones. The stainless stell is rock hard and it amazes me how its holding up. I have other watches that is worth much more than my Invicta - but this will always be my everyday watch.
doubtful, sorry
The dive bessel is actually to calculate total bottom time.
Basically you set the 0 at current time when you start your descent and check the elapsed time when you start to go up.
This will allow you then (combined with your pressure gate) to calculate residual Nitrogen in blood and how much you must wait before your next dive. Its now about oxygen in the tank.
thank you i was looking for this comment
...actually it's for how much you have to wait
for decompression
before you can go up completely in the surface
I use it to make french fries.
@@jameswilkinson6678 I like to time the pizza delivery
Or for that you could simply use a dive computer. A simple gecko would do the job fine. Saver as well. I don't have met many divers who dove without a dive computer. Maybe some beginner drvers. But when I was working in the industry the most fantastic divers as well professional ones all wore their own dive computers
I bought the same but with blue, gold color in 2014. Doesn't kill your wallet and the quality is there. I don't need to be a kid like some watch collector kids and compare between brands.
@C. N. Cool watches? Nah these are art to look at.
@@pharmit24 I own alot of bolts and pro drivers and just think they are beautiful. I got a iredecent bolt with flame infused crystal and it's stunning. Anyways happy watch hunting :)) prices are cheap rn
How did the gold plating hold up over the years?
@@pacovl46 good as new
@@pharmit24 just to clarify, you have the gold plated bracelet and you wär the watch a lot?
This guy really know how to put things in to perspective. Really thorough review, well done.
RIGHT ON! I have many Invictas. I also have several Rolex, Longines, Casio, Breitling, Seiko (and some that don't immediately come to mind). I buy a watch because I like looking at it on my wrist. If a watch fails to work properly, then I don't like looking at it. So I take a few precautions on buying and wearing watches. I DON'T TAKE ANY WATCH IN THE WATER, no matter the waterproof claims. I don't need to know the time when I'm in the pool, since my cell phone is normally handy (which I also don't take in the water).Perhaps if I were an experienced diver, I would be disappointed with Invicta's dive watches. But then, I wouldn't likely have bought an Invicta watch (or any other watch that isn't generally used by professionals) for diving, or skydiving, or working in construction, or any other profession that would be hard on a timepiece that wasn't specifically made for a specific purpose, by a watchmaker who had a recognized reputation for making such a watch.
My experience, in light of the above, has been positive for the numerous Invicta and inexpensive watches I've purchased because I like the way they look. If I buy a funky twenty dollar watch, and it doesn't work out of the box, or stops working after 6 months of casual use, then I figure, "that's life," and resolve not to buy that brand of watch in the future. Invicta does not fall into that category.. And, IMHO, it's hard for some people to be positive about anything.
Absolutelly
@@marcberrenson570 You may not need to know the time when you're in the pool, but you want to be stylin' on the way there, right? LOL jk
Got this watch over 10 years ago. Mine has the Miota 8215 movement. Still runs great and after 10 years (with no servicing) it's running about 4 sec fast a day. I can live with that especially since I have more expensive watches that have just died or run 45 sec slow a day. I really don't care what other people say about my watch. I'm the one who paid for it so I'm the one who gets to decide if its good or bad.
amen..
I own close to 50 invictas.My dive watches are better at keeping time than Quartz ones I have.The only watches I’ll spend my money on is automatics.Battery replacement is almost forty dollars for lifetime replacement.
man, I LOVE your attitude ...your absolutely right..who cares what other people think..we bought the Invicta and IMO INVICTA watches are phenomenal!
i have a rollie and still wear invictas daily, i have maybe 6, they are gorgeous and affordable and i have had them all for many years now, and NONE have broken, needed service, or had a dead battery yet. they have zero issues. money well spent
Finally this watch is getting some love and respect. Thanks for the video!
Agreed! Awesome brand.
Your review convinced me, I'm going to buy one.
Only problem is I might like it so much I may end up buying 53 more!!!
Dont bother they will all break in a year.
@@DomzyDX Got mine almost 3 years now, the 8928ob. Still runs wel but I'm not wearing it as much as before :)
@@hd_bronco welcome to the club, Im in the same boat....
Anyone who goes on a holiday just to test a watch earns my respect. Best and most comprehensive review of a watch ever. If it were a Rolex under review, you might spend the time and effort like this. Well done friend!
I have two Invicta's: a Pro Diver (black dial, scalloped bezel) and a Speedway 200m.
I bought both watches over 10 years ago and they have never let me down.
do you still wear them?
@@relosapulso He is telling you!!!
Conclusion: Invicta is a reliable brand if you follow the instructions
Exactly!
the jury is out on that Invicta is a branding name and source watches from lots of different makers, some good some not so good but this particular model i did buy and find as the reviewer finds does what its suposed to de albeit it takes a cooly to carry it around for me when I am not wearing it. Why did i buy it , the seiko movement
Like everything else
It’s the Toyota of the watch world. Functional, but not as prestigious
Conclusion it was not checked as a diver but as a beach watch.
Ive worn my Pro Diver automatic daily for about 3 years, virtually zero issues. Got it on prime day for $55 on amazon
The best review I ever saw! I have 2 pirates.of the Caribbean watches
I've never watched the video from this guy. But he was very detailed I now want to buy this watch
I just found your channel after years of following so many reviewers in all price ranges. You sir are the most objective and down to earth. I am loving your reviews and your great analysis. Thank you for helping me expand my collection without all that snob/investment nonesense. We just love actually wearing watches and that’s it!!!
This is the most entertaining review on watch its like watching a short film, and im not exaggerating, entertaining and insightful, kudoss👌👌👌
I agree. I like his humor through filming. 🤣
Yep, totally agree. 💯👍🏼
Excelen and Great delivery
I've had my Invicta pro diver for 2 years and swim with it several times a week, and have done several dives with it. I've never had an issue at all with water. The automatic NH35A in mine is absurdly accurate... better than some of my Swiss watches. The only thing I don't like about mine is that I have the scalloped bezel instead of the coin bezel. But that's a minor quibble. At < $100, this watch is not just a steal, it's grand larceny.
Grand larceny 😂😂😂💀
My Grand Diver has a scalloped bezel. I LOVE the look. I bought that bezel on purpose. The coin bezel is so boring and old fashioned looking.
The Invicta NH35A is a cheap, rough made in China CLONE. The parts are assembled in dusty warehouses in Malaysia. You can buy made in Japan NH35A for the price of an entire Invicta watch.
Time accuracy is strictly luck. One of my Invictas is HOPELESSLY bad as a time keeper. The other two are good. My Grand Diver keeps great time.
I have alot of invicta, I swim with it, no problem at all
I absolutely HATE the scalloped bezel! Love the feel of the coin-style bezel and wish I had looked more carefully when I bought my 8926O
@@deplorabledave1048
NH35A has both Malaysia and China, don't be confused
This is THE BEST review of a watch I've seen in my life.
Thank you, top quality content, clearly explained and in depth information.
This is the most in-dept review of the Invicta Pro Diver watch Ive seen online. Very specific. Good description & information. Thankyou.
Best INVICTA Review so far.
The bezel is an important feature even if you're not a diver. I use mine several times a day for timing things like laundry, cooking and exercise.
One of the best reviews of any product I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I wore one while doing some underwater activities in the intercostal waterways, and it worked great for me. No problems with the bracelet, bezel, time keeping, etc. worked perfectly
I enjoyed watching your review of this watch. Even though I've been into the watch collecting hobby for over a decade you still kept my interest. Good job! I look forward to seeing your next watch review.
Your videos are not the random RUclips video. They are incredible short films! Congratulations, thank you so much!
This is the best review I've seen. VERY well done with some interesting tidbits no one else has mentioned.
Invicta makes a great watch. I replaced the the crystal with a double domed sapphire crystal and have had no problems. With the new crystal, it looks a bit more like an an Omega Seamaster.
Where did u find a replacement crystal?
Did you replace the crystal yourself?
@@suserman7775 he said "I replaced". He hasn't said "someone else replaced".
@Monoï you know he didn't mean that literally. If I had a turbo installed I wouldn't say I took it to Joe's auto and I had a consultation and decided to go ahead with it. No he would say " yeah I installed a turbo. "
I've had my gold and blue Invicta Pro Diver for many years. It runs fine with the Seiko movement ticking away. Never did any harsh water tests. Accuracy is good. Lume is okay. Good vid. Thanks.
This is one of the best watch reviews I've ever seen. News that we can use. Thanks.
I had a diver's watch watch when I was in middle school and the exact fogging happened. I got my invicta last night and NOW I understand about the crown and screwing in tight.
Makes total sense now.
Get the band adjusted tomorrow and can't wait to where it out. I love stainless steel diver watches.
One of the best video's on YT clearly explaining how to make your diver waterproof. I do this with all new watches or watches i service for people.
I purchased the same watch 3 years ago looks great, wear it every day. Never had a problem and very happy with it. I love it. =D
I love my Invecta watch, it’s 10 years old and still works great
Is it using nh35?
My father bought me this as a high school grad gift and I’m liking it so far.
@@blueslime1703 wow I bet you’re super wealthy and handsome and not insecure at all!
Lmao bruh
Good starter watch
@@blueslime1703 and your opinion is as worthless as your dad
@UCa5MnsKfvpk5jdyvoAHS-VQ, go play MapleStory, you lonely fucking dweeb.
I have 4 Invictas, they're all huge, but work very well. I saw this Pro Diver at my local swap meet last weekend for $40. Box, instructions, everything. I think it's the perfect watch at this price range.
I bought my Rolex Submariner in 1976 for £176 yes that’s what they cost then from Watches of Switzerland today it’s valued at about £10000 in all that time I have worn it and dived with it all over the world,it’s now in my safe and only used to keep the movement happy,would I buy an Invicta pro diver the answer is certainly yes I like the familiar look of it and it reminds me of my Rolex.
As soon as I get a time machine ... ... ...
Hey did you used to live in Frome?
I'm looking to get a 67 vintage copy , but they are sold out. I just like the older look. You could find one and wear what your use to, it would be good to see you do a comparison
I'd be interested. Email me a few snapshots at eset@live.in, the next visit you make to the locker. I'll make a fair offer.
Finally, an in-depth, unbiased review of the Invicta Pro Diver automatic from an actual consumer. Loved how you called out the idiots that didn't lock down the crown properly. I've owned about a dozen of these Pro Divers. Not all 8926ob's though. I had several different dial colors and bracelet/bezel combination colors to match my wardrobe. Never had issues with any of them. I ended up giving several of them to family members as gifts that preferred automatic watches.
The Seiko has been my primary, almost exclusive go-to since the mid-70's. About 15 years ago I ventured out to other brands; including Invicta about 8-9 years ago.
I had purchased the 8926ob. After wearing it to work a few times, a co-worker called my watch "trailer park trash" for buying that Invicta. He owned a few automatics >$1000. I couldn't resist this. I challenged him to a quality/performance competition. I told him to pick any of his watches (except a Seiko as I owned several at the time and wanted him to use one of the so-called elite brands he had).
He decided to go with his Oris Aquis. Visual and outer structural quality I gave him the nod no arguments. After setting our watches to the time of our work computers (down to the second), we wore the same watches to work every day for a month. In the end, my Invicta gained only 11 seconds more than his Oris. So, he paid an additional $105 per second of accuracy. Granted this was just a desk diver competition but, neither of us were snorkel or scuba divers... which would have been a real quality test.
Unless you are working with explosives or a military operation, I don't see paying that much for a few seconds that important.
In the world of watch collecting youre comparing a Tesla to a Junkyard trolley. invictas are financally worthless, no one wants to buy them on resale market. that's probably what your coworker was referencing
Watch snobs hate Invicta because they aren’t selling a brand but a watch.
@@markporter2642 Well said. Totally agree 💯👍

A very well done, objective, and comprehensive review! I've been thinking any picking up one of these, as well as another pro driver from them, so I appreciate this video! Especially the tips about lubrication. Just discovered your channel today and subscribed! Thanks again!
What a great video, you went into so much detail. Just ordered one, thanks again. Just subscribed.
Unfairly vilified watch. It’s a great value for money watch, looks great and perfect for a beach holiday. Really nice review!
One of the best watch reviews I've seen! Thank you!
Just picked up my 7th INVICTA today. My second Pro Diver. I have been using these watches now for years. I have never had a single hiccup from any of them. They hold time as well as any Swiss watch, they look Fantastic, and I always get compliments on them. There build is quite good actually and they take a pretty good pounding. You can't beat them at their price point.
Awesome work you have done making this review! You gained a fervent subscriber!
This is the most objective review I've ever saw of this specific watch. I think it's pretty great. But tons of people hate this watch because it's a homage or just hate without reason.
Now I'm sure about buying this watch. Thank you!
I have it and I enjoy it
How's it holding up 2 years later? I just got one and it's very nice so far.
This has been the most fair and in-depth review of an Invicta I've seen. Thanks so much for sharing!
Top notch review, thank you for the work you put into crafting this video. Subscribed !
2 years in and my 89 still looks and works wonderful!
Silicone grease in the the crown makes a world of difference I agree!
Also super good production quality, narration etc.
I have an 8926 that's been my beach watch for the past 10 years, never had a problem, no leaks and still looks great.
HAVE YOU APPLIED ANY GREASE?
@@juliangrossi94 Nope, but I do on occasion put a drop of silicone oil on the stem.....
Underrated YT channel. Keep it up you deserve more viewers!
This one is my first invicta ever. I'm so happy with it. Thanks for the review
An excellent review! So many great talking points: Dispelling/explaining myths about the negative reviews (I too have often thought that competitors would create false negative reviews; shame on them 😡); explaining the oscillator winding function; proper removal of band links; greasing the stem and case; ensuring stem is closed to prevent water seepage in watch; bezel movement. Very thorough, telling it like it is. Thank you so much!
actually I use the bezel as a timer for reaction times on chemical batches at work. I bought it in hopes that this watch can stand up to being exposed to hot and cold water and random chemicals. It does this very well. I am extremely happy with mine and actually can't wait to buy another one.
Invicta: The Methmaker's Choice
😁
I would have expected to use a Chronograph, but given the conditions described you deffinitly made a good Choice to go for the ruggedness and water resistance of a Diver.
Goes to show that a good tool for a job can work excellently even in entirely unrelated jobs with some consideration
Thank you for the honest review. I have two pro divers and have had no problems. I think most watch enthusiasts have an issue with the marketing and of course the whole Rolex homage vs copy argument, but as you stated Invicta doesn't hide that they made the watch. Overall great review!
I got this watch new so long ago it doesn't even have the NH35 movement but instead has the NH25. Annoying that I can't hand wind. Anyway my crystal is no longer clear but looks hazy.
In all fairness to Invicta there's about 40 watch companies or more that have copied the Rolex!
For some reason Invicta is the only one that gets hate for it.
I really liked how you composed this review. It's so honest and realistic e.g. "no one's using this for diving, so why should you care about such functionality". Then all the stuff you did with it on holiday! Great video.
Thank you for a great video. Entertaining, informative, sensible. I've been into Automatic watches for a while. Your video definitely addressed a lot of issues other RUclips channels dare not do.... wear it on the beach. Great video, I'll be watching you in the future.
The bezel is not used for calculating air, it would be impossible to accurately calculate air left in the tank. It is primarily for timing descent and ascent sequences/procedures as well as overall time underwater.
I mean.. If I know my breathing and depth I already can time what my half way point is and bezel towards it. Would I ever? Nah. Dive computer haha.
Nah, the bezel is mostly used for asmr, so you can hear the click, click, clkclkclk bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt
@@tjpanganiban221 I have the watch and I've dove with it. Handled 10 meters for about 1 hour multiple times very well. Lume abseloutely blows. Basically useless for diving. The watch does its job though. Best 50 bucks I've ever spent. A lot of watch for the price.
The bezel is for calculating bottom time along with a dive table. Tells you when you must begin ascent.
@@bangurowned Us divers carry an air pressure gauge though. Mine happens to be integrated with my computer. And we don't carry an "oxygen tank", unless we are doing special deco procedures. Nobody uses a dive watch for remaining dive time, if even for the fact that you might have a leak and not know it. The time tells you nothing then. That's what the PSI gauge is for. :) They are carried to show dive time for No Decompression Limits.
I have this watch amongst many other much more expensive watches. i love it because it does all you say it does and so much more. . Thank you for taking the trouble to do this excellent video
Thanks for this complete review and test. I will buy one right now.
Thanks, great video. I have the blue coloured pro diver and have had no problems with it. I did swap out the metal bracelet for a silicone strap (not a fan of metal bracelets) and as an ex diver, I have no problem with the crown. The bezel works really well with no play and lines up perfectly with the dial markings. All in all, I'm really pleased with this watch, especially for £65.
Swore I’d never buy an Invicta. Six Pro Divers later...LOL! Great look and feel of a luxury watch without the price tag. Never looked back. Anyone who has a shred of doubt about this watch should take the time to watch this video. Great job covering all the bases; nice travelogue, too.
Possibly the best review ive seen . Thanks !
At last a fair review on an Invicta watch. Thank you !
This has to be the best, honest, and thorough review of this watch i've seen
love my pro diver! having it for 2 months without issues. love your review. thanks for the info and the details. this seems to be a great value for money watch! cheers!
Glad to hear you like it! I agree - a lot of watch for the money
Outstanding review!!! Specific, concrete and objective. Based on this review I bought one 3 days ago from Amazon. Thank you very much!
Nice! I hope you love it.
This the best watch review can I see, you are the best! 👍🏽
You really put together a great review and video. Kudos.
I have worn mine for months and in fact I bought it for a similar holiday in Grand Cayman. I went snorkeling multiple times with the watch and was under water up to 10-15 feet with absolutely no issues. I’ve tracked the accuracy and it’s very consistently between -11 and -9 seconds per day. Great watch for the price, highly recommend it.
I love my Invicta pro diver. I also own vintage Rolex and Cartier Santos. The Invicta PD was my gateway into loving watches so its a sentimental thing for sure. Still works great and gets plenty of wrist time. Great video thanks for posting.
LOOOOL, You said Wrist time 😂
@@hollywoodsaint57 it only took 3 years for someone to laugh at my Dad joke. thanks!!!
Great video! This is the best review of the Invicta iv’e seen thus far! The silicone tip is truly appreciated!
Thanks man....Thanks for the detailed review..I was mainly concerned about the water resistance capability..Now I am convinced..I am surely going to buy this...!!!
Such an underated brand for watches, really iconic, Happy to be apart of. Honestly have one, and it's literally a tank 🙌🔥
Ive worn one everyday for 3 years flawlessly.
Your balanced and enthusiastic video was fun to watch and helpful. I'm going to buy it!
Great review and thanks for the tips. Looked at the watch for awhile but just wasn’t sure, mine should arrive tomorrow.
I own four, two are open hearts and one is a two tone. All have the Seiko automatic movement and that was the reason I started buying them. I love them. Thanks for great video review. Cheers from Clearwater Florida. 😎👍
I'm not a diver or amphibian but I've one since 2016, I used to participate in military exercise in many harsh environment and still works without a single issue. Rolex is Rolex, comparing Rolex with something like others is comparing you wife with your ex girlfriend. Rolex is expensive and this one inexpensive and permanent companion.
I do not dive or snorkel but I do swim with my pro diver. Never any issues.
Did you use silicone grease to lubricate the crown?
@@oppositelock6844 you dont have to but its better
Nice to see someone doing a review and actually getting in the water...thanks!
Finding this video in 2022. Great review. I'm a novice watch enthusiast and have 3 invictas. 1 quartz and 2 autos. I've had them for years and they've never given me any problems, but I've never taken them in the water. I'll probably have them serviced before I do it but next vacation they're definitely coming into the pool with me! Thanks again for a great review.
Simply a very pleasant, accurate review. Enjoyed
Nice review. Thanks for the tip on the silicone lubricant.
The best and most perfect review I've ever seen.
Just got mine for Christmas. Its my first watch, I really like it.
This was my gateway watch! i needed a gold watch for my outfit for a specific event i was going to (Black & Gold Themed party) & i didn't know anything about watches but this was one of the first watches that popped up when i typed "gold watch" into amazon... after searching for a while i decided there was no better looking gold watch at this price so i ordered it! upon receiving the watch i also thought it might be broken when it didn't move but after watching some video reviews on RUclips i learnt everything i needed to know about automatic movements... fast forward 3 years i now own 3 seiko's, 2 orients, 1 citizen, a g-shock for my beater & of course the gold invicta pro diver continuing to be my first love & still working perfectly!
Nice! Glad to hear you've joined the movement (pun intended)!
Great review, thanks. I have the two tone version, gold/stainless with the blue bezel and dial, love it..!!
I’ve just ordered one, brilliant video. Liked and subscribed 👌🏻
Already own some Seiko and Citizen divers. I actually took my Invicta Pro Diver to the beach and spent all day in the sand and water. This is is amazing!
Have the pleasure of owning one of these watches, love it to pieces!. Great time keeper, its a handsome boy!, I only have to remember to give it a break and something else!!. People think its a rolex, tell them it's the same as a rolex!, it tells the time!. Seriously, great watch, no complaints at all. Adrian.
There it is. The water resistance test I've been looking for. A pro diver will be my next watch.
Thank you for taking the time to make a great video! To be honest, I never watch videos this long, but you managed to keep it interesting and fun. Plus your voice is very relaxing. I've been looking for a video where the watch is tested in water instead of reviewing it in a studio and found yours. Very thorough. Cheers from Costa Rica.
Thanks I appreciate that!
First I wanted to buy a watch..now I want to go on a vacation to Mexico!😂
First buy watch and then go to Mexico
Just came across your review. Throughly enjoyed it, thought it was fair and very informative. The Invicta Pro Diver in my opinion is a great watch for the money. I've used mine for fresh/sea water swimming and when out hunting. Its been used and abused and just keeps on ticking. Great bang for buck. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your content.
I just ordered a new pro diver, it will be my second invicta.
There durability is above n beyond.
Great video, thank you
Amazing video! Now I know everything about this watch I want to buy. I loved your wise impressions about this great watch. Tanks! I could not stop seeing this video till the end!
