I have this exact one along with several others. I’ve been taking this watch swimming for years and have not had a problem. The quality you get for the price you pay is great. Nice vid.
When I got my First salary I bought this Grand Diver watch on a cruise ship where I worked last 4 years ago. I definitely love the watch, no issue at all. 💕
I have had this watch for over a year and it is the best price performance ratio. I dived with them in the ocean, I wear them almost daily and there is no sign of a single damage or wear on my watch. I love this watch and in addition it is very accurate. In addition, after experience with these watches, I purchased several more INVICTA watch models and I am extremely satisfied with all of them. They are made of quality steel and perfectly processed.
These grand divers are the bargain of the century I have the yellow gold tone model with a mother of pearl Dial absolutely beautiful... Time keeping is great at +16 seconds a week... Yes a week!! Rock solid bullet proof movement... I have a large collection of Swiss & german automatic divers watchers but the invicta grand diver makes me realise just how overpriced and overrated Swiss and German Luxury watches are... Thank you invicta... This is a great watch for the price make no mistake it.... about it.. Love wearing mine absolute bargain 👍😉
For the money it's outstanding. I would like to see a fully brushed polish on one, I think it would up it's game so much and look like a serious tool watch.
I bought this watch on Amazon Prime day for 68 bucks...Love it...I dont mind the engravings at all...The dial is beautiful...very solid watch in every way....Grand Diver has its own style...NH35 as well....68 bucks is a steal...100 bucks is a great price....the watch should sell for twice that.
Yes it is a great price. I was half tempted to return mine for $100 and buy it again for the $68 but I was too lazy. Either way I still felt like I got a great deal at $100.

@@degenerateWAI bought it in 2012 and it's still perfect. Also, because my wrists are rectangular (flat-topped with hard corners), the watch sits flat without the gaps that can be seen on your wrist even when in that same position.
Love a big watch and then Invicta is the company that brings us to those exotic style watches that are huge nothing like a big watch I could actually read the time so much better thank you for sharing your video man it was awesome 👍
Same not more than 50mm got 40mm but I find them too small love the grand divers got 6 of them just 28166 brand new on eBay auction lucky I was the only bidder £65❤
Love all my invictas. Best money spent. And damn good quality. I beat the hell out of these watches. And wear my pro diver on an daily basis. Candid wait to get my Grand diver 😻😻😻
You made a very good video on this watch I can't believe the price point on that watch for 300 m I think it's an awesome watch if you look at the Seiko and the Citizen watches they're twice the price in that watch really works great underwater a friend of mine just bought one and he loves it thank you for sharing this video you're awesome 🇺🇸👍🖐️
I love Invicta. I have the Grand Diver 20143, Ltd Edition with diamonds and charcoal dial. My wife stole my gold Pro Diver 8929c. Its hers now. She has quite a watch collection as well. I lean towards a divers style watch. Sub, Sumo, Turtle, Tuna, etc. That Pro Diver looks small on your wrist. I have never understood their clasps. Why not use the milled clasps on both, the Grand and Pro Diver. It's pennies in the difference. They make casebacks that are flatter that you can swap out for a thinner watch. I don't mind the size. I almost prefer presentation casebacks. Thanks for the video!
Milled clasps and sapphire crystals should be standard on today's watches IMO. That's just me being nitpicky. I still think it's a decent enough value with a good quality to price ratio.
People daring to complaint about a watch of this super price and quality offered doesn’t make sense . There are a bunch of individuals and channels on RUclips where the only purpose is to make videos to talk about how bad Invicta is. Narrow minded people. Why paying hundreds if not thousands for a watch if this Grand Diver provides if not the same , almost the same performance. Invicta has an outstanding creativity and does much more for the community by allowing almost anyone to reach their line comparing to other very expensive and sometimes not transparent in price brands.
Wonderful watch. I have the one with yellow dial and I love it. But there is something weird that I don't understand; On the bezel they have 20,30,40, and 50, but why the hell is 10 not on it?!! 🤔
With the dial of the watch being so big I feel that the watch would look better with broader and longer hands. At the moment they tend to be overshadowed by the size and bulk of the watch.
I would have preferred standard, straight hands like on the Pro Diver. I have had no issues being able to tell the time with this design but aesthetically I feel it would have looked better with "broadsword" hands.
I have two for many years, over ten anyways. I wear them a lot, kind of my bangers. They both look and still run good. Did not do a thing to them, no cleaning, nothing. They are still around for under a hundred bucks usually.
This is such a great video thank you for sharing beautiful watches I mean stunning looking you know when I look at my Seiko tuna my 007 I really think this watch looks as good or better really in style then my Seiko watches hey thank you for sharing this video I'm going to look into that watch I like it grandiver it's big it's bigger than my Seiko
Hopefully that is not the case for long. I have seen these prices fluctuate throughout the year, but I would not be surprised during these times that prices stay inflated.

A green/blue dial would look great on the Grand Diver. I'll need to be on the lookout for one. I think it would also be great if they came out with a premium version like the one you described. There would be thousands if not tens of thousands of people willing to spend some more for a "Super Diver". As for snobs, they don't bother me. I don't concern myself with people who take material items that seriously. If they have that much money but still judge others on material items then they are poor in their mind.
The top links that attach to the lugs are solid...are they solid with the Pro Diver? That may be another distinction if so, but I know they're not solid on a number of other watches.
IMO it will be a little top heavy and on the bigger side. If you like a big watch then it's perfect, but if not then you may want to look for something else.
Never owned one before so I couldn't tell you. The Invicta is not a "luxury" watch so I imagine there would be a difference in the finishing and internal movement.
Toss both into the ocean with a 300 meter rope and check them both after bringing them up. Seriously. The 300 meter water resistance could mean nothing to both watches.
I'm starting to mention it in my reviews. I had no idea that was a dimension people cared about until recently. The Grand Diver comes out to about 54-55mm by my measurement.

Very cool just the way it is

invicta steel quality is used as material for the case and bracelet of the Invicta Japanese movement?
They are simply AWESOME, but I do prefer the kern edge bezel
The coin edge is much more efficient. The scalloped edge is more of a looker.

It's another way for a diver to identify where they are at with the oxygen in their tank, if they're in fact using the watch for that purpose.

I got another Grand Diver (reviewed it recently actually) and it's a bit thinner and looks much more reasonable.

Grand Diver's are very fun watches, appreciate the positive feedback.
I have a small wrist, yet the GD fits me fine, and in the wrist, it doesn’t sit as high as one would think.
As it is it's perfectly fine. After a certain point it's all just preferences and opinions.
It seems that the prices are going up. Here in the Netherlands I have ordered and paid $ 150 for the Grand Diver 3044.
