Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It could well be a little bit early to write a review as I've only had the watch for a short time, but I don't mind sharing my experience.
First of all about the delivery service: It was extremely fast and accurate. I received my watch four working days from ordering it. That's not too bad, if you think about it, as I a live in New Zealand. I should also mention, although you'd expect this to be a bare minimum, that I also got WHAT I ordered. That doesn't always seem to be the case.
The watch itself is a very nice-looking piece, probably more attractive in life than on the photo, it does not look like a cheap look-alike. As for it's performance: It does indeed gain time, but not more than a couple of seconds a day, it seems to add up to about half-a-minute in a fortnight. Personally, I can live with that. From what I know this is quite tolerable for an automatic...
It also feels sturdy and well-constructed, I haven't had any quality issues with it.

Nothing really changed.
The watch still looks and feels great, no issues at all. Running a bit ahead of time shortly changed to (and stayed at) running approx. 1-2 minute/month behind. Again, I don't think that's too bad. If I wanted something very precise I would buy a quartz, in which case I may lose it if changing the battery is done by some moron - as it happened to me before.
So altogether: Having had it for a year-and-a-half now, I still recommend it to anyone who wants a good-looking reliable watch and doesn't mind adjusting it every now and then.

Pro Diver Collection
Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.
Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force.
Automatic Watches
Automatic watches do not operate on batteries. Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms, and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement, which distributes the impulses, turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch, which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly, automatic movements come in different types, including movements that are Swiss-made, Japanese-made, and more.
Also referred to as self-winding, watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy, the swinging of your arm, to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They're considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day), you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors).
