Pro Diver 8932 Quartz Watch

Too small

良い製品

This is a great looking watch and is a mash-up of the Rolex Submariner & Omega Seamaster. I call it the Sub($35)Master. For the less than $35 I got it for and even if it were $55 I give it 5 stars. It's insane how nice it looks, the fit & finish, & how solidly made this is for the price. Even the bracelet is solid and the clasp is well made with 4 micro adjustment holes. I have and love my Seiko watches but not even they can do this at the price, and Timex doesn't even come close. Seiko has folded bracelets at the lower price point but they do have good automatic movements. I purchased several of these Invictas to look at including the 8932OB with the Rolex Submariner type bezel and the 40mm automatics, but this is the one I like most. The 8932OB is the same size but just looks slightly too flat and small even my 6.75mm wrists. The Omega Seamaster styled bezel on this one has a little more material around the outer edge of the bezel and more marking in the black area, enough to make a visual difference so that it just looks big enough. BTW, this has a 38mm bezel and 37-37.5mm case. It is Not 39mm as written in the description. It looks small for a diver watch design, smaller than my Seiko SKX013 and it might be too small if you have 7in+ wrists. There are other small differences between this and the 8932OB. The case has a more defined bevel, the lugs are is very lightly differently shaped, the crystal is slighlty thicker with a more noticeable bevel, and the numbers and markings around the bezel are different and more like the Seamaster. I like the bezel on this one better, it's more substantial, looks classier and more refined, and doesn't reflect as many little points of light so it's less shiny/blingy. I do wish this were about 1mm wider and thicker. The 40mm auto version is very tall, boxy and flashy, and looks like it is 2 sizes bigger. The one legitimate con is that the lume sucks and only lasts for a few minutes. Some other very minor and nit-picky negatives I can think of are: the minute hand moves around a little when the crown is pushed back in so you have to compensate 15-30 secs when setting it, and the brushing on the top of the lugs is noticeably different from the brushing on the bracelet. The crown doesn't screw down and although 200 meters is written on the dial, I wouldn't expect this to survive even 1 meter of water. You can't expect a screw down crown for this price, but crazy as it sounds, the 40mm auto version has both a screw down crown and a very good Seiko NH35 automatic movement for $90, $55 when it's on sale. This is going to make a very good beater watch that I don't have to worry about, and looks good enough to be a primary watch if you really just want something that looks good.

Great

Un reloj muy padre tiene buen tamaño es un poco chico, queda bien si eres de muñeca pequeña

This is my first Invicta watch. I must say it lives up to the hype for build quality people report. For the money you simply can't go wrong with this watch if you like this homage style in a very wearable size. I intentionally purchased this smaller 8932 quartz as a daily wear watch so it wouldn't be too cumbersome and it isn't. Will now buy a larger Invicta Men's 8928OB as well as I see that this one meets expectations and I can anticipate equally good quality from the larger 8928OB with Seiko NH35A movement automatic and screw down crown. I torture my watches so at this price I am not concerned about repair costs; I will simply replace the watch if/when I destroy it. No wonder watch snobs don't like Invicta. They really challenge whether it's worth paying 100X the price for a little more watch and little more than a name. Nicer build watch at the price than similarly priced watches and a pleasure to have no concerns about taking extra care over damaging the watch from wearing it during activities where any watch likely could be damaged. If there was one thing I would upgrade in the build for extra durability it would be a sapphire crystal but at the price I'm not complaining. I did my research and based on build, price, reputation and availability Invicta came out on top. Water resistance I gave it a 3 out of 5 only for the fact it is not a screw down crown but I don't intend to dive with it. Quartz vs self winding automatic movement and no screw down appear to be sacrifices made to fit in this smaller form factor and as it stands it is a lower priced Invicta than the larger one's that have these extra features. An elegant twist on the submariner in this smaller size. Nice little treat.
