Invicta's overlooked dive watch
By Michael Horn
Purchasing the #8932 Invicta dive watch for a family fellow member Christmas present - I've come away very much impressed. The 8932 apparently shares the case, crystal solid homogeneous inorgani substance glass watchface, screwdown crown and elegent lightweight stainless steel bracelet with it's more pricey automatic motion 8926 sibling. Matter of factly - it is hard to tell the divergence amidst this watch and Invicta's $300+ 9937 Swiss ETA powered automatic diver without close inspection.

It is my modest opinion that Invicta is the leader of the lowcost price dive watch market - including such giants as Seiko and Citizen - OK perhaps even Casio. Invicta does not have the brand name cognizance of the public and big mercantile outlets to display their terrifi dive watches. Once you've purchased an Invicta Pro-Diver series watch - you will be a fan. The fit, finish, overall quality and design make this watch a model you must consider as a price range leader.

Case: The 316L brushed stainless steel case at 40mm (43mm with crown) once considered a huge watch - is now an "average" size for dive watches. The stainless steel watchback might be annoying for those with nickel metal skin allergies - the solid homogeneous inorgani substance glass display or "exhibition" watch backs of the 8926 and 9937 being preferent by a lot of divers. Mineral glass is not as scratch immune as sapphire crystal as found in the 9937 - which may only be imprinted by diamond - but is "good enough" for intermediate wear and surely keeps the watch very affordable. A date "cyclops" or window is found at the 3 o'clock position. The watch is ranked and tested to 200m (660 ft) - that which qualifies it as a "Professional Diver".

Bezel: The black bezel is a very scratch resistant, uni-directional (120 clicks to the hour) scalloped edge (like the Omega Seamaster) diving tool. A "coin edge" (like the Rolex Submariner) bezel is preferent by a great deal of divers - being less slippery to manipulate when wet.

Bracelet: Invicta's ss bracelet - with polished center links - is an industry popular - best equated to a Rolex Oyster bracelet for the Submariner series. It utilizes a foldover deployment clasp without a wetsuit deployment clasp as found on more highpriced dive watch bracelets. Held together by pins - it is essential to throughly rinse the bracelet after immersion in salt water.

Movement: The 8932 uses a quartz "asian" sourced movement. These will commonly keep time +/- 15 second per week and are actually much more precise than the more costly Invicta 8926 Citizen/Miyota 8215 - 21 jewel automatic movements that may be a minute or more off each week. The 9937 uses a Swiss ETA 2824-2 25 jewel automatic motion reflected in it's $300+ price tag...Watch battery life varies as per motion source and battery quality. Most batteries will have to last 3-5 years according to Invicta users I know.

Conclusion: I am a big fan of Invicta dive watches. For the money, Invicta Pro-Diver series watches are an industry leader. Sourced amidst galore dissimilar asian assemblers - the fit, finish and quality may vary somewhat from batch to batch - but the overall reputation amongst watch collectors of the Invicta Pro-Diver series is very high!

Why not 5 stars? My personal predilections are automatic motion watches - not quartz. The stainless steel back may irritate the skin of allergic individuals. Mineral glass crystal - applied to hold the price - is prone to scuffing and minor scratching. Sapphire is too highpriced for this category of watch. As a diver - I prefer a "sawtooth" or "coin" edged bezel to the scalloped bezel presently offered by Invicta. The bracelet offers no wetsuit deployment clasp - a feature absent in all Invicta divers thru the 9937 series. Some or none of these will have to prevent you from giving careful consideration to this watch or it's 8926 fraternal twin as your next dive watch.

Amazon and it's vendors do a good occupation to deliver the Invicta goods. All models come with a one year warranty - Invicta supplying a 5 year warranty extension for a modest fee. I am the owner of 7 Invicta dive and chronometer watches. You may learn more regarding Invicta and other lowcost watches sold by Amazon at InvictaTalk.com.

Case diameter is 39mm, not 43mm like the 8926
By Mac-Tendo Guy
(EDIT: Amazon now has the specs in the right way listed at 37mm diameter.)

Amazon's description is faulty on the case diameter. I purchased this watch and the 8926 automatic thinking they were the same size (43mm with crown). Not so, this watch is rather a bit littler 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 respective times.

I'm very disappointed
By Cindy E. Ellmauer
I recieved this watch yesterday and I was very excited. This was not my firstborn 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 introductory noticed that the bezel is very difficult to turn. I thought if I held working it, it would loosen up. It hasn't so far. Next I noticed that the time keeps stopping periodically. I recognise 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 confess this is the primary time I've had to, and I detect that Invicta wants a $25 check for return shipping. They send me a faulty watch and they want cash to fundamentally repair it. I don't think so.....I'm employed to very quality from Invicta, so I am very disappointed in this watch.
