My honest review of my Invicta Pro diver no holding back or snobbery too

This is my honest opinions on my pro diver. That I have had for a while now it’s my beater watch.

When I first got it as a Christmas present off my parents. After asking for one in stainless steel and black. I had already bought one In gold and black. My only blingy watch

I was very impressed with this watch for the price I paid £69 for a 200m automatic dive watch. It isn’t perfect I found on the gold one. The case on top of the lugs. There is a sharp edge not enough to cut you and the brushed finish is a bit to rough.

So when I got my stainless steel version I was very impressed with the finishing quality the brushing was finer.

There was no alignment issues with both of them. Time keeping was good but they both used the seiko NH35 movement. With custom rotor what looks good.

The bracelet is very comfortable with solid links but hol hollow end links and a stamped clasp with 4 micro, adjust holes. It was nice and solid when I first got it but now there is a bit of a annoying rattle from the hollow end links but not on the gold one that is still great. I tried running it on a NATO strap but with it being a on the thicker side side 14mm. Most of that is on the back side

It ends up sitting even higher off my wrist on a nato strap. I do like the name engraved in the side of the case it’s something different you don’t see often and there is a few features like that like. The seconds hand with the logo as a counterbalance. The singed crown that lines up perfectly on both watches.

They are all little things that make this something different to just another sub rip off.

The bezel has no play at all on both of them a bit stiff though. But with dry hands no problems but wet hands it’s a different story. The coinage is a bit to rounded what looks great and feels good but if you have wet hands where is not enough bit to get a good grip. I tested this out in my local swimming pool I had some how knocked the bezel jamming in up. Ended up pulling a spring bar out while I twisting on the bezel luckily it was on a NATO strap so didn’t lose the watch or the spring bar. But the bezel insert popped off that freed up the bezel. I found it on the bottom of the pool so popped it black in and it still works fine now. That is the only major problem I’ve had.

So in over all review it’s a great watch for the money far from perfect but you can’t expect high end quality at the price point we can want it though haha. My main issue is that I’ve watched far too many watch snob videos about it that made me feel self conscious about wearing it. When in reality no body cares or even notices what watch you are wearing. Part from my gold one that always gets compliments “that’s a fancy watch”
