InvictaPro Diver Unisex Wrist Watch Stainless Steel Automatic Black Dial - 9403

The media could not be loaded. 4/25/23: Update 3Even though I said I was done updating this review, I felt I needed to do just one more…I’ve had this watch for around 2.5 years and it still runs like a champ. I don’t wear it that much anymore, so I give it a wind here and there to keep things moving; having zero problems starting back up. The watch has a decent amount of scratches in the case and the bezel insert lume has slightly deteriorated over time.In late 2021, I wanted to do something special. I swapped the dial, handset, crystal, and strap out for some high quality aftermarket ones. And sheesh, it looks and feels a thousand times better!! Only grievance I had was with trying to install the seconds hand which I accidentally broke… it’s kind of difficult to doAnyway this watch looks so much better than it had before and still functions like new. The automatic pro diver’s are an incredible platform to work on, especially if you wanted to get into watch modding. Very, very easy to work on.10/4/20: (Main Review)Recently purchased this watch and had been anticipating its arrival. It is absolutely gorgeous and is everything I had been wanting in a watch. The two-tone bezel, exhibition case back, screw-down crown, 200 meters of WR, and low price; what’s not to love? Well with the first one that I ordered, the crown was quite difficult to pull in and out and to screw back in. I was not pleased with this and was very disappointed with it. Thankfully, Amazon took my request for a replacement and I have to say that it is a much better improvement. In general, the threading in these watches aren’t the smoothest to begin with, but it shouldn’t feel like metal on metal (I’m pretty sure my first one was refurbished). I’ve heard somewhere that a quick fix regarding this issue would be to apply silicone grease to the threads. Another con about this watch was the lume. It’s not great since it doesn’t last long and isn’t even bright enough when fully charged for any real usage while submerged under water. Delivery was rather quick (early in fact), as it had been shipped and sold via Amazon. I definitely recommend this watch as a solid first automatic timepiece and/or diver. Before I finish, I want to discuss this watch’s movement: each new Pro Diver has Seiko’s NH35 automatic movement which is said to be highly accurate. Some people complain about its accuracy but I don’t know what to expect and will find out for myself. Thank you for reading and I hope you find this review helpful!UPDATE #1: 11/19/20:Having owned this watch for a little over a month now, I have to say I am EXTREMELY pleased with it. I have received quite a few compliments while wearing this watch and it just feels awesome to wear. Some people give the Pro Diver lineup a bad wrap for being a Submariner homage and for its supposed lack of water resistance. Well hear this: most people won’t even care if you’re wearing a Submariner homage or the real thing. Yeah the Rolex is obviously impressive and better; but this is a way to have a Submariner without buying one for thousands of dollars. This watch just happens to be the best of the homages (in my opinion). Anyway, the water resistance is no worry for me. As long as you remember to screw the crown back in after setting the time/date, it’ll be fine. Mine has survived numerous times after being submerged in hot water. To conclude this update, I want to say to you that this watch is a must-have. Yeah it might not be the best watch out there but know that it has most of the same specs and similar build quality as dive watches worth $100 more than it. I love mine and so will you — if make the right decision and buy one!UPDATE #2: 2/16/21Still a daily wearer! I have so many other watches in my collection but I need to say that this one gets most time on the wrist. I’ve acquired noticeable scratches on the polished parts of the case from normal wear and tear, but that’s to be expected. I’ve held off on talking about the movement’s accuracy so it could pass the break-in period. It keeps really good time. Mine’s running an average of between +/- 5 to 10 seconds a day. It varies for me regarding how much I wear it. I’m raising the stars up to 5/5 from 4/5 because I love the watch so so much. But wow do I really hate scalloped bezels! (Not the watch’s fault per se). Looks like this will be my last update for this watch. Cannot recommend it enough. Thanks for reading!

First thing I did was put it on a black nato strap and trim that to fit with a nickel end. Red/black Coke bezel looks great against the black strap, with black face. It looked very nice on the silver stainless bracelet it came with, but I'm not fond of shiny jewelry, and dont really like the way that watch bracelets adjust to fit on my wrist, either too tight or not tight enough. The nato did it right, and it's sort of a sporty watch, anyways. Much easier to clean.Lume is a touch on the weak side, seems to fade faster than other watches I've owned. Distinctive hour and minute hand shapes are easy to discern in low light.Bezel is very firm, takes a little oomph to move, which could be good if you're using it and absolutely do not need it to reset accidentally. However, a thumb divot would help.No scratches yet on the crystal, and I tend to be rough on them. Not worried about this one. Love the lens above the date window.Seems to keep good time.Screw-down crown feels firm, although once you pop it out, adjustments between the two separate setting positions seen somewhat challenging to find, e.g. setting the date window. I would summarize the crown by saying it feels durable, tough, so I'm happy there. Zero wobble.Feels light on the wrist, just the right diameter face.I was stuck between this or a Seiko and saved the extra money, and I am very happy. I would buy another.

Want a good watch for good price, Invicta is the watch to consider. I collect many watches and have found out after buying high-end watches for many years that the more a watch cost the less you wear it and the more you protect it by keeping it safe in a watch box. You spend 10k for a watch and never wear it but spend a couple of hundred for one then you will wear the crap out of it and never worry about it. Invicta watches are durable and never quit working the automatic ones that is Battery watches are good, but batteries eventually die then you replace it.
