Starting the year with my first automatic watch...

I have been into watches since childhood but never got the chance to own an automatic watch, until a friend of mine coming back to India from US asked if I wanted something from there, I immediately went to Amazon's site and found this beauty, I knew Invicta as a tacky and not so liked brand in the community but watched tons of videos and made the decision of getting this, initially I was going to get the Black varient but it was selling for $85 and the blue one was for $45 due to black Friday sale and I am glad I saved $40 and went with this amazing sunburst blue dial varient.

It arrived on 30th of December and hasn't left my wrist since.

I feel 40mm is a little small for my 8 inch wrist but it is just me nitpicking,

And I found a small dent on the bezel but it is what it is as scratches and dents are what makes a watch special and gives it character, not sure if this is ever going to leave my wrist anytime soon...

Happy new year 🎊

Nice score! Looks great! Don’t worry if anyone thinks a watch or brand is tacky, wear what you like and what makes you feel good!

Such a classic! I have the same watch and I wore it so much that the bezel faded to an almost purple color. Enjoy!

Invicta has hundreds of unique styles, from the traditional, to the edgy, and everything in-between. There's something for everyone. I hang out at the traditional end, specifically, the Pro Diver, Grand Diver, Aviator, & Sub-Aqua product lines.

On my wrist, also 8", to my eye, 40mm and above look "right," and everything 39mm and under looks small, or even tiny. Most of my Invictas are 47 and 48 mm, and most of my other watches (Tissot, Stuhrling, Casio Duro, etc.) are between 42 and 45 mm. But I have seen 40mm watches that fit me just fine.

I gifted my brother that exact model, the 9094OB. You can’t beat it. Beautiful. Thx for sharing
