Customer Reviews
Invicta's overlooked dive watch
Purchasing the #8932 Invicta dive watch for a family member
Christmas present - I've come away very much impressed. The 8932
apparently shares the case, crystal mineral glass watchface, screwdown
crown and elegent lightweight stainless steel bracelet with it's more
expensive automatic movement 8926 sibling. Matter of factly - it is
hard to tell the difference between this watch and Invicta's $300+ 9937
Swiss ETA powered automatic diver without close inspection.
It is my humble opinion that Invicta is the leader of the
affordable price dive watch market - including such giants as Seiko and
Citizen - OK maybe even Casio. Invicta does not have the brand name
awareness of the public and large commercial outlets to display their
wonderful 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 should consider as a price range
leader.
Case: The 316L brushed stainless steel case at 40mm (43mm with
crown) once considered a large watch - is now an "average" size for
dive watches. The stainless steel watchback might be annoying for those
with nickel metal skin allergies - the mineral glass display or
"exhibition" watch backs of the 8926 and 9937 being preferred by many
divers. Mineral glass is not as scratch resistant as sapphire crystal
as found in the 9937 - which can only be imprinted by diamond - but is
"good enough" for average wear and certainly keeps the watch very
affordable. A date "cyclops" or window is found at the 3 o'clock
position. The watch is rated 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
preferred by many divers - being less slippery to manipulate when wet.
Bracelet: Invicta's ss bracelet - with polished center links - is
an industry standard - best compared to a Rolex Oyster bracelet for the
Submariner series. It utilizes a foldover deployment clasp without a
wetsuit deployment clasp as found on more expensive dive watch
bracelets. Held together by pins - it is important to throughly rinse
the bracelet after immersion in salt water.
Movement: The 8932 uses a quartz "asian" sourced movement. These
will normally keep time +/- 15 second per week and are actually much
more accurate than the more expensive Invicta 8926 Citizen/Miyota 8215
- 21 jewel automatic movements that can be a minute or more off each
week. The 9937 uses a Swiss ETA 2824-2 25 jewel automatic movement
reflected in it's $300+ price tag...Watch battery life varies as per
movement source and battery quality. Most batteries should 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 among
many different asian assemblers - the fit, finish and quality may vary
somewhat from batch to batch - but the overall reputation among watch
collectors of the Invicta Pro-Diver series is very high!
Why not 5 stars? My personal preferences are automatic movement
watches - not quartz. The stainless steel back can irritate the skin of
allergic individuals. Mineral glass crystal - used to hold the price -
is prone to scuffing and minor scratching. Sapphire is too expensive
for this category of watch. As a diver - I prefer a "sawtooth" or
"coin" edged bezel to the scalloped bezel currently 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 should
prevent you from considering this watch or it's 8926 fraternal twin as
your next dive watch.
Amazon and it's sellers do a good job to deliver the Invicta goods.
All models come with a one year warranty - Invicta offering a 5 year
warranty extension for a modest fee. I am the owner of 7 Invicta dive
and chronometer watches. You can learn more about Invicta and other
affordable watches sold by Amazon at InvictaTalk.com.
Case diameter is 39mm, not 43mm like the 8926
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.
Beautiful and striking men's 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.
