Amazons description is wrong on the case diameter. I bought this watch and the 8926 automatic thinking they were the same size (43mm with crown). Not so, this watch is quite a bit smaller on the wrist, not as heavy(no automatic movement), and the unidirectional bezel is much more loose and cheap feeling.
The model # on the back of this watch is 8932A
The 8926 is a MUCH nicer watch and has been on sale for 70 at various times. Invicta Men's 8932 Pro Diver Collection Silver-Tone Watch
I recieved this watch yesterday and I was very excited. This was not my first Invicta, I've been very impressed with their watches. After I got it home, I put a rubber band on it and then started setting the time. I first noticed that the bezel is very difficult to turn. I thought if I kept working it, it would loosen up. It hasn't so far. Next I noticed that the time keeps stopping periodically. I know it's a quartz, but even early on I expected the watch to keep running in the beginning. Then I look at the warranty card. I admit this is the first time I've had to, and I notice that Invicta wants a $25 check for return shipping. They send me a defective watch and they want money to essentially fix it. I don't think so.....I'm used to very quality from Invicta, so I am very disappointed in this watch.
The watch is the same design as the popular automatic version, but I've found that watches that depend upon movement for power are notoriously unreliable. Thus, I opted for the quartz powered one. The watch design is bold and striking, with classic styling, and a face size that is just right. The box it comes in is deceptively bulky and unwieldy, but the watch itself is a gem. A great gift for any man.
I've owned more than 100 watches in the past 30 years, most of which have been dive watches (Seiko, Omega, Rolex, etc) Needless to say, those watches were between $400-$3,500. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this Invicta but I figured, for 50 bucks it was worth a try.
So far it seems to be a decent watch for the price. The manual is rather ridiculous tho(in my opinion). It presumes that you have no clue what a wristwatch does. I had to laugh when it said: "the battery will have to replaced eventually". Every watch I have owned that was battery operated at least mentioned the lifetime of the battery... 1 year, 3 years, 10 years. I also think the manual could have been more specific as to the model I bought. It is a generic manual which talks about all the types of watches and what the hands are for (chronographs, etc). It assumes the consumer is an idiot as far as wristwatches go. Other than these minor observations I'd say that if you want a nice looking watch that seems fairly well made and is accurate, and you want it to be under $100.... this Invicta isn't bad at all.
The product description says the watch is water resistant up to 200 meters (600 feet). However, I use this watch for around 1 and half month and water has gone into the watch already. I didn't wear the watch to swim or take shower. I just use it normally and sometimes I wear it when I wash hands. How dare they say the watch is water resistant?
Just discov'd. Invicta a few mos.ago.Nice watches,running the gamut from inexpensive to sky high,competing w/ Rolex,etc.My 8932 looks just like a Rolex Submariner. Very pleased;very quick service from Amazon! - Stainless Steel - 8932 - Scuba Diving - Watches'
