I've owned a Rolex Submariner Date for nearly eight years, and I decided to buy my father a retirement watch that was as close as I could get to my Rolex without paying a fortune. I've been wearing the Invicta for nearly a month now (I had to break it in for him, you know) and these are my observations:
br /
br /When I took the Invicta out of the box the first thing I noticed was the weight. The Invicta was slightly heavier and had more of a robust feel to it than the Rolex, the major difference here being the bracelet. The Invicta bracelet is much tighter and heavier duty than the Rolex and it's affixed to the case with screws instead of pins. The center links are brightly polished while the edge links are brushed, which gave it a very attractive 2-tone look (although I've noticed that the polished links show scratches MUCH better). The clasp is also no contest; the Rolex has a thin and rather flimsy stamped clasp, and I have had problems with my Rolex coming undone. The Invicta is much thicker and sturdier, and seems to close more firmly. I've heard one watch reviewer describe the Rolex bracelet as a `crime' on a watch this expensive, and I'm starting to agree. The only place that Rolex comes out ahead here is that it incorporates a folding bracelet extension for wearing over a wetsuit (a feature that I have never used). Oh, and to further widen the gap, the cost of a replacement Rolex bracelet would buy nearly THREE complete Invictas. To be frank here, if I thought it would fit I'd get an Invicta bracelet for my Rolex.
br /
br /The bezels are also noticeably different, but only in style. The numbers around the Invicta bezel are significantly larger than Rolex and it has far more hash marks. Plus my Invicta is one of the newer models that did away with a Rolex style coin edge, which in my opinion was a step backwards. The Invicta bezel has a dozen shallow moon-shaped scallops around the edge, and getting a good grip on it can be difficult especially with wet hands. As I understand Invicta was sued by Rolex over the bezel design and had to change it, but you can still get coin edged examples for a slight premium.
br /
br /Both watches come with a sapphire crystal with cyclops eye over the date window, and from what I can tell they're identical.
br /
br /The faces on these two watches are also nearly identical, the chief difference being the logo and the second hand. The Invicta logo appears to be raised embossed on the face with polished silver, whereas the Rolex logo is simply printed. The Invicta second hand has an attractive wing design as the base finial, and the glow-in-the-dark disc is closer to the edge. Rolex is simply a plain round disc finial. Also, the glow-in-the-dark material is slightly more greenish-yellow on the Invicta, but both watches glow with equal intensity. The hour and second hands are virtually identical.
br /
br /The cases on both watches appear to be of similar size, style and quality. The three major differences here (and all favor the Invicta) are A) The Invicta bracelet is affixed with heavy-duty looking screws, whereas the Rolex uses pins. B) The Invicta has its name deeply engraved on the side of the case opposite the crown. And C) the Invicta has a glass backing that allows you to see the movement. I've always thought this strange of Rolex that they choose to hide their movement. I've seen Rolex movements out of the case, and they are stunningly beautiful examples of craftsmanship. Why hide it? Plus, it would make counterfeiting the Rolex a lot more difficult.
br /
br /The crowns on both watches are cosmetically similar, but the Rolex has a patented `triplok' triple-layer sealing system that rates it to a dive depth of 300 meters, where the Invicta has a simple single-layer seal and is rated to only 200 meters depth. The Rolex crown is fine if you're planning to dive on the Titanic, but for recreational diving or simply romping in the pool with your kids the Invicta crown will be all you'll need.
br /
br /Now for the most important part; the movement. Because I've only owned the Invicta for a month I can give no testament to its robustness, but it's given me no trouble in the month I've had it. As for the Rolex movement, however, I will sing its praises from the mountaintop. My Rolex is 20 years old and I've had it for eight of those years, and in spite of all the abuse I've meted out to it (see my review on the Rolex for details) it's never been serviced or given me an ounce of trouble. Its kept time within 6 seconds per day, rain or shine, all the time I've owned it. The Invicta has kept time to with in 12 seconds per day over the past 30 days. Not as good, but not at all bad. Both movements are Swiss made, by the way.
br /
br /Both watches tick at the same rate and with the same level of volume, which means you need to be in a quiet room with the watch pressed against your ear before you can hear anything. The sound of the ticking is noticeably different, but I'm not sure what that means. The Invicta has a sound that I would describe as a hollow `tock-tock', whereas the Rolex sounds more like a crisp `tink-tink'. Also, the Rolex second hand has a smoother motion than the Invicta, and I'll assume it's because the cog wheel operating the second hand is made to much tighter tolerances on the Rolex, thus giving it more even increments. Another difference is the date wheel. When the Rolex turns over the date (at 12:05am sharp) there is a crisp `click' that I can easily hear if I'm still awake. The Invicta is more like a `flap', kind of like the sound you hear when flipping thru a deck of cards.
br /
br /Also there are the intangibles. I bought my Invicta thru the internet, and I know of no Invicta dealers local to me. That means any problems with my Invicta may require shipping it to God-knows-where and waiting several weeks. My Rolex dealer is in the next town, and any problems I may encounter can be fixed quickly and efficiently (although NOT cheaply).
br /
br /Overall I must say I'm highly impressed with the Invicta, and at the same token I'm somewhat disappointed with my Rolex. From the outside the Invicta is every bit as nice, and even nicer, than my Rolex, and at about 1/15th the cost. There is no reason why the Rolex couldn't be as nice, and considering the price tag it SHOULD be as nice. It shouldn't even have been a contest. However, on the inside it's all Rolex. I cannot imagine how one can improve on the Rolex movement. The Invicta movement seems quite a competent device for the price, but the real test will be longevity. Perhaps I'll write a follow-up review in 5 years and tell you how it's doing.
br /

So you might be wondering what's the difference between this model 9937 and the Invicta 8926. PLENTY! These two similarly styled Pro-diver watches look almost the same - so you might be asking yourself why spend an additional $200 for something that looks like its $100.00 fraternal twin??? Here's why you should own the 9937!
br /
br /Automatic movements:
br /
br /The 9937 has a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement in it's stainless case. This Swiss movement is the baseline for automatic watch quality and reliability. This same movement is used in Oceanaut, TAG, Breitling, Omega and a host of swiss watch names with prices into four figures!
br /
br /The 8926 uses a Japanese Citizen Miyota 8215 movement. Absolutely nothing wrong with this mechanism. A great time keeper. Miyota movements power many great name automatic watches - but it is not Swiss and is significantly less costly to produce!
br /
br /Crystal:
br /
br /9937 utilizes a sapphire crystal for the watch face and display back. Sapphire is most scratch resistant - the most desirable watch face material - can only be imprinted by a diamond. The date magnifier (or as Rolex calls it the "cyclops") is much more prominent on the 9937. Not only is the magnifier larger in area and more prominent than its 8926 counterpart - the date magnification seems to be 1.5X larger on the 9937.
br /
br /8926 finds a mineral glass watch face and display back. Mineral glass is not as scratch resistant as sapphire - but is more chip and shatter resistant. Mineral glass is significantly cheaper to produce for the manufacturer.
br /
br /Stainless Steel Bracelet:
br /
br /The 9937 uses a heavier - higher quality stainless bracelet than its 8926 counterpart. Both bracelets are attractive - double lock foldover clasp - the Swiss Diver bracelet is easily worth the extra money.
br /
br /Swiss movement vs Asian made:
br /
br /I'm not a watch snob. Invicta Pro-divers - whether Asian made 8926 or Swiss movement 9937 are lookalikes to the Rolex Submariner. Invicta built its' modern reputation on the 8926 - a good solid diver - the Swiss made 9937 was an answer to a demand for a higher quality timepiece from Invicta 8926 owners! I own both models and enjoy the look of both in different situations.
br /
br /Both are very attractive - are easily affordable and reliable automatic dive watches that will last many years. The 8926 and 9937 are 660ft water resistant, both have screw down crowns - large attractive 316L surgical brushed stainless steel cases 43mm in diameter -unidirectional scalloped bezels - good LUME coming off the dial and hands, date at the 3 o'clock position - and both are quality built.
br /
br /CONCLUSION:
br /
br /The 8926 is (IMHO) the greatest watch value for around $100 dollars. It rivals SEIKO in style and quality and is the price leader when you're looking for a quality dive watch.
br /
br /The 9937 offers a higher standard of material and construction - with quality components that reassure you every day you wear it. For many of us - a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement, sapphire crystal diver for under $300 is magic to the pocketbook and the watch collectors soul.
br /
br /When you feel the need for a Swiss automatic diver on your wrist - with great looks and quality all around -the Invicta 9937 deserves a special place in your watch collection.

finally purchased this much talked about time piece from invicta . almost bought this watch last year but went with the invicta 3076 scuba which is another famous sought after watch. well with that said i have no regrets with either purchase. this 9937 is probally the most reviewed talked about watch on the internet . now i see why ! i have personally been in high end jewerly and watch stores and have tried on the rolex submariners. that watch is probally my dream watch to own , but in all reality its just that a dream watch at least for now anyway. however i must say when i recieved my 9937 and looked at and held it in my hand i can say my dream watch in a way has become a reality . i have seen alot of watches and came across a few that matched the rolex submariner as far as watches that had the same look or style. but without a doubt this invicta 9937 is the closest thing i have ever seen to being in that level. this invicta 9937 watch without a doubt lives up to its reputation to being the next best thing to owning a rolex submariner. actually with the price i paid which was only 330.00 i actually think its a better watch than the rolex which retails for 4,500.00 to 5,000.00 dollars. i mean hey if u can afford that God bless ya , but if ur a little shy on the clams why bother when u can buy this much sought after almost as famous if not more famous time piece. i looked long and hard to find the 9937 with the coin edge bezel and finally found it and bought it . my only suggestion to anyone interested in getting the 9937 is to get the one with the coin edge bezel. i think it adds to the value of the watch since its so rare and hard to find. again another great purchase of one of the best diver watches made by invicta. i love it and it lives up to its name and reputation. if u can find this much talked about watch and can get it dont hesitate there are not many of them out there especially with the coin edge bezel. a must have in ur collection!!!!

First of all Amazon managed to ship this item to me in two days using their free super saver shipping option. Second the watch actually shipped was not the Invicta 9937 shown above, but rather the much sort after Invicta 9937RI featuring the coin edge Rolex style bezel.
br /
br /In a nut shell this baby is perfect in every detail, from the quality and feel of the watch to the accuracy of the ETA 2842-2 Swiss movement. The magnifier well positioned and actually works! The crystal used on the 9937 is synthetic sapphire and is one of the big perks of the watch, since in all reality it can only be scratched by a diamond.
br /
br /In summary if you want a well made diving watch and can't afford the $4800 for the Rolex then have no hesitation in buying Invicta's 9937 model.

I bought this as an experiment in mechanical watches, I have gradually been moving away from digital, through quartz analog then Seiko Kinetic self winding quartz and now my first purely mechanical watch.
br /
br /I was used to wearing a Tag Heur 4000 series, so the Invicta doesn't feel especially heavy, it is only about the same weight as the Seiko. The clasp is as good as the Tag but again the Seiko is actually better in some ways. It's more surprising that the Seiko merits a mention than that the Tag is broadly comparable to the Invicta.
br /
br /I'm actually slightly surprised at how well this thing works. After all that others have reported about these gaining 20-30 seconds a day, out of the box, I find that mine gains maybe a second or a two per day and that's all. I can deal with correcting the time once a week. But will it slow down with time? From what I read the Sellita SW200 movement is quite reliable and is being used in some high end watches.
br /
br /I agree with the long time mechanical and Invicta fans, the pointers are not well enough illuminated at night. They are too narrow and the material used is not even as good as that used on my old Seiko Kinetic Relay. The sweep second hand is practically invisible in anything but good light.
br /
br /Anyway, for a few hundred bucks this is an extremely good introduction to the world of automatic watches. If anything goes wrong I'll let you know.
br /
br /[Edit: Eight months later]
br /
br /My intention was to let this watch settle down, since others said that was necessary, and then have it regulated so it kept better time. Well, I'm not going to bother. I see that initially it was gaining maybe 30 seconds a week, and that was enough to make me reset it about that often. It has now settled down a bit and I just reset it for the first time in about a month and a half, it had gained 24 seconds. Under a second a day, without adjustment, is way better than I was expecting.
br /
br /I generally don't think about this watch, once in a while people remark that it's a good looking watch and then I take it off and show them the back so they can see it is a mechanical watch. Other than that it just sits there working.
br /
br /Excellent watch. More pleased today than the day I received it.

Outstanding watch!! I also have a Rolex and a Tissot. The swiss movement in this watch (SA200)26 jewels, so far has performed better than either of them. By the Atomic clock this watch is within 1-2 seconds over a three week period!! Remarkable for an automatic movement. Movement is self wind with hacking feature and rapid date adjustment.
br /Quality features are on par if not better than Rolex and Tissot, Sapphire crystal, 200M water resistence. Solid stainless steel braclet attaches with screws. Screw in crown, etc.. I notice that the price on this 9937 model is beginning to creep up, not surprising as a Rolex like this would set one back about $5,000 or more. Caution, don't confuse this Invicta model with lesser quality (feature) models that Invicta has in their line. Spend the extra bucks and get the 9937 model.

This is a great watch for the money... I work in the Oil Industry and wear it to work daily, not only does it get lots of comments but it takes a beating and keeps on...

I just received the Invicta 9937 diver's watch a week ago. For the money, this is a great buy! The watch is surprisingly solid and heavy, which gives it a feeling of quality. The fit and finish are very high, although not quite on par with more expensive watches. However, this is not a bad thing, as the cost reflects this. It would have been nice if the case was rounded a little more on the back edges so you don't feel the watch as much on your wrist. This watch sits heavy on the wrist, so I feel the edges. It does not hurt or is not annoying, though. The bezel lines up perfectly with the face. There are no loose components. Everything fits tight. The bezel is somewhat stiff and difficult to turn. It is difficult to get a good grip on the scalloped edge. Since I don't scuba dive, I don't use the rotating bezel much anyway. The 9937 comes in many different versions, so if you order on-line, you never know what you are going to get. Mine is the version with the scalloped bezel, second-hand has the Invicta wings on the end, and I believe the movement is the new Sellita SW200, not the ETA 2824-2. I've read they are identical in specs, but time will tell about the long-term reliability. The Sellita is supposed to have the gold-plated body with blue rotor, but mine is gold with an unfinished rotor.
br /The styling of this watch is interesting. It has an Omega-inspired bezel, a Rolex-inspired face/case/band, and has Invicta's own styling touches with the engraved "Invicta" on the side of the case and the second-hand has the Invicta wings. This watch is SOLID! The case and band are solid. It would seriously hurt if I threw this watch at someone! My watch out of the box is running +20 to +24 seconds per day. After a few weeks of break-in period, I'll see if it settles down. The movement is Swiss, but I believe the case is made in Japan or China. This is my first mechanical watch and it is a great introduction to higher end timepieces. I do like my Casio G-shock and Seiko quartz, but the Invicta is a good stepping stone to better Swiss watches.
br /
br /I finally sold this watch. I've decided that +20 to +24 seconds a day is too much. I have since purchased watches that are near COSC standards. I find +8 seconds a day more acceptable, as I only need to reset the time every 1 to 2 weeks.
br /

I was so happy with the way the watch looked and felt when I opened the box. The see through back is cool too, but when I looked at it I realised that I got sent to one with Japanese movement not swiss. That changed my mood. I just sent it back, hopefully it is cleared up soon so I can get the swiss one. It looks just like a lot of the other more expensive brands, maybe better.

First of all, while I thought I ordered the 9937 with 25 jewels I got the 9937A with 26 Jewels for $319.00. Perhaps if I knew how an extra jewel added value to the watch, I would feel lucky. But then more is always better. If I am to believe that I got the 26 Jewel 9937, then I got the one with the anti-reflective mineral dial. But the dial I've been looking at is not anti-reflective. So who knows? All I know for sure is that the watch is inscribed with the description "26 Jewels" on the watch mechanism and the back is inscribed with "saphhire crystal."
br /
br /This watch is comparable in functionality to similarly styled Tag Hueuer watches. It blows away the first Tag aquaracer I bought over 10 years ago. It feels very heavy, but it's not really a cumbersome big watch. It's very stylish and I appreciate that it is not the coin edge version because people don't feel they have to ask if it is a rolex.
br /
br /There is some confusion and controversy with this watch though. On the face it says it has "Swiss Movement" as opposed to "Swiss Made" or "Swiss" like previous iterations. But the sapphire crystal glass cover on the back reveals that the automatic time mechanism is "Swiss Made." So I don't know if, based on the new "Swiss Made" guidelines, if the watch is "Swiss Made" or not.
br /
br /But who cares. It's a good watch. If you are active, you don't have to wind it much (maybe once every two or three weeks). But If not, you will have to wind it more often (like once a week). If you are looking for an affordable automatic watch with all the functionality and characteristics of the higher end automatic watches, this is the watch for you.

Much has been written on this watch by other reviewers. I would echo their comments, especially the lengthier reviews, regarding build quality (very solid), appearance (very attractive), Amazon service (very prompt delivery), and overall product value (excellent). This is a very substantial, hefty watch that provides its wearer an air of authority and confidence. The only minor complaints are with respect to the face's luminosity (weak) and the date has required adjustment on several occasions over the past four weeks of initial ownership. The movement is beautiful, the face handsome, and the watch band is sturdy, yet elegant. Overall, highly recommend, especially for the price.

I own Rolex Submariner, and Omega Seamaster this watch is on the same level as far as quality good looks and durability I will own another Invicta possibly the Sub Aqua, This was an EXCELLENT BUY.

I received my 9937 Invicta three days after ordering. It's everything I was expecting and more. Great looking bracelet. Heavy watch with a well made look that is keeping perfect time so far. It came well packaged with no problems.
br /

Very nice looking watch for a good price, but quality...? I had the watch for less than a week and one of the screws securing the wristband to the watch fell out. Thank goodness I noticed this before the watch fell off my wrist. Not sure why the band is screwed on unlike older 9937s I've seen with bands secured with pins. I returned the watch to Amazon and received $295.01 of the 299.99 paid. I'm not particularly happy with this but it's not worth fighting for ~$5. I would like to try the 9937 again but it is currently unavailable from Amazon. Maybe others are having a similar issue with the wristband. BTW, like one of the previous reviewers my 9937 also had the "coin edge" bezel unlike the picture on Amazon. I too like the coin bezel.

If there were 3 1/2 stars that would probably be my rating.
br /
br /I'm not going to compare this watch to a Rolex. I don't own a Rolex, and if I had 5 grand laying around I didn't know what to do with...I wouldn't spend it on a Rolex. (I'd spend it on a Browning Citori 12 Gauge over and under with a second set of 16 Gauge barrells).
br /
br /I wanted a nice looking, Swiss Movement, diver watch I could wear every day. I'm in the Army, I'm a clutz, I have two kids, so I'm rough on watches.
br /
br /Appearance: This is a great looking watch. I would have prefered all brushed stainless on the bracelet so scratches don't show as much, but the polished center links are beautiful. It took me awhile to get a comfortable fit, removing two links was too loose, three was too tight. I had to adjust the buckle, which is more about my odd sized wrist than the watch itself.
br /
br /The case and bracelet are heavy. Much heavier than my other automatics. This is a noticable watch. The Invicta name is tastefully engraved on the side of the case, and on the clasp. The screw down crown has the Invicta crest embossed.
br /
br /The dial is nice and simple. The Invicta emblem and name are embossed at the 12 O'clock position, "Automatic, Professional, 660ft-200m, Water Resistant" is printed just below the center, and "Swiss Movement" is printed at 6 O'clock. The second hand moves smoothly with no hesitation. The Invicta emblem on the second hand is a nice touch. The date is easy to read under the magnifier. The saphire back is a great, as is the tool work and stamped Invicta name on the counterweight. My only complaint is that there are some pretty prominent tool marks on the back of the case. No one but me will ever see them...but I expected better on a $300 watch.
br /
br /Function: No automatic will keep time as well as a six dollar quartz watch. That's that nature of the beast. After wearing it 24/7 for a week, mine gains 12 seconds a day, which is within the Swiss standard (+/- 15 seconds). The date changes at exactly 1159, with a smooth click, and is centered perfectly.
br /
br /The luminous hands and dial markings aren't the greatest. They're functional, but not particularly bright. The bezel is hard to turn, a coin edge would be better than the scallops, but I understand Rolex didn't see the humor in that and sued Invicta so they had to redesign. Not a show stopper for me, since I'm not a diver.
br /
br /Overall: For three hundred dollars this is a good watch. Functional, good looking, and well made. It has a solid feel to it. The saphire crystal has proved resistant to the scratches that come with firing pistols and jumping on and off assorted pieces of heavy machinery. I'm pleased with the watch and would recomend it to anyone in the market for an automatic watch in this price range.

I've owned this watch for about 3 weeks now. The watch has a great feel to it which oozes quality. I have worn it all day every day and take it off at night. The watch loses about 3 seconds a day, but I'm sure this will change when it breaks in. The one thing that I've read about this watch is that the lug screws which fasten the bracelet to the watch can sometime fall out, and this is a pain b/c Invicta asks you to mail in the entire watch to replace the single screw. Instead, I put a drop of clear nail polish into each lug and called it a day.
br /
br /Nothing else to say that hasn't been said already. Great buy!

I just got my 9937 swiss movement pro diver. I was thinking about the omega and rolex, as well. To be honest, I thought there would be a huge difference in quality between the two very expensive diver watches and my new 9937. There is none from my inexperienced eyes. Actually, the invicta felt better than the rolex.
br /
br /I would not even consider the cheaper japanese movement watch. I saw the Japanese movement watch in a store. Yes it is almost identical. However, the second hand on the swiss is much more smoother and the date window has more magnification.
br /
br /I brought this watch to a real watchmaker to get it sized and he was impressed with the watch. He said that it looked virtually the same as the omega, in terms of movement. I think he is right.
br /
br /I don't know how it will last. However, from first impression, I am quite happy with the THOUSANDS I saved and the quality I got.
br /
br /Pete from Vancouver

My brother in law is a watchmaker for Rolex. He's passionate about their watches and gets a little bit hissy if you jibe him about their legendary accuracy being only -+5 seconds a day. I think he trusted me to buy a Rolex when I had the money and was looking forward to being able to service it for me. This would strengthen our fraternal bond.
br /
br /So it was with a heavy heart that I saved myself several thousand pounds and bought this watch in 2002. He didn't talk to me for the first few months. 6 years on I can report that it still keeps time to about the same accuracy as a Rolex. I have subjected mine to the limits of irresponsible punishment without a single blemish on the glass. The bezel is looking a bit scuffed and my only regret is that it's not easy to find a replacement bezel insert locally. I'm sure something will turn up.
br /
br /My Brother-in-Law learned to live with the fact that his sister married a cheapskate, even lowering himself to fixing the clasp for me recently and commenting that it was 'a really nice watch'. On more than a few occasions, business colleagues have asked to see my watch and been intrigued by this outstanding little timepiece.
br /
br /I personally prefer the raised Insignia logo and the clear case back to the Rolex. Both are features which mark it out as being something special. I also like the fact that this watch says that I value utility and looks over brand. Watches tell the world a lot about us. Ever look at a Tag owner and wonder why he started beating his wife?
br /
br /

The Invicta 9937 is an outstanding timepiece and value. Though not identical it is very comparable to watches that are 5 times more expensive such as Tag Aquaracer, Rolex, etc. Very accurate, excellent movement, great looks if you are going for a "auto diver" style. Two types of bezels are available, and the original "coin edge" is said to be a little more valuable to the collectors. For guidance the www.Invictatalk.com is a good site.

I got this watch because I wasn't sure if I would like a "big" watch and wanted to test one out with an inexpensive watch before I went for an expensive one like a Breitling. I was more than surprised by this watch. the quality is very impressive. I got a TAG 2000 exclusive at the same time, both being my first automatic watches. After a few weeks, I actually prefer the Invicta to the TAG. The invicta just feels nicer, and it's large crown is a joy to wind. Overall I'm very suprised at how Invicta does it but I will definitely buy another in the future.
br /

The Invicta 9937 is a great watch for the price. You get a swiss automatic movement with perpetual motion (no ticking). Love everything about the watch except for the glow in the dark feature. After it gets dark, the green spots don't show for more then an hour and then goes dark. However, the watch looks great and for the price, you can't beat it (unless you get the Rolex :).

Nicer than expected and the timing is accurate. A great looking watch. I am very pleased with the purchase. I only wear automatic watches, and it's hard to find good ones that keep time. This is my second Invicta watch and I couldn't be happier with either purchase.Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Silver-Tone Automatic Watch #9937

There are a number of reviews that do justice to this terrific automatic watch, so I won't repeat chapter, book and verse about it. One very pleasant surprise: out of the box, my watch gains only 15 seconds per day; and ought to achieve greater accuracy as the mechanism has a chance to work itself in during the next several weeks.
br /
br /Financially, the watch is a great value. Recently, it has become an Amazon Prime product which means that its price is very very competitive and the Invicta one-year warranty can be upgraded at no cost to five years. Get an Amazon credit card and you're given a one-time $30 credit which is basically equivalent to a 10 percent discount.
br /
br /Bottom line -- I'm very pleased with this purchase.Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Silver-Tone Automatic Watch #9937

I've owned my Invicta Swiss Diver since 10/07. After a "break in" period it kept losing about 25 seconds each day. I've owned Rolexes and thought of this as a replacement. It has very good jewelry quality but accuracy was very disappointing. I returned it for service in early July and haven't received it back yet. I'm hoping for a big improvement. I have owned a Brietling and the service when it stopped working after two years was $500.00 so I'm being patient but a little disappointed so far.

I love this watch. It is great looking and has that feel of quality. Best of all no battery to deal with.

It is impossible to say enough good things about this watch. Beautifully crafted by Invicta, this watch is what a Rolex Submariner will never be. For an MSRP. of $690.00, it is an absolute steal for the money. It is every bit as nice as the Rolex, and you can save over $3000.00 in the process. If you shop around you can get one for significantly less than the $690.00 MSRP. The ETA 25 Jewel Automatic movement is precise and is a wonderful Swiss made classic. This watch is a great addition for those looking for a collectible Swiss made automatic timepiece. Remember, after years of use an automatic timepiece generally will increase in value, while quartz watches become valueless.

This is a great, no...no...this is an awesome watch for the price. It truly rivals the quality of the Rolex submariner for a 1/3 of the cost. You will not be disappointed.

Quality is OK, price is OK, but the time piece does not keep the time so sharp...it is always behind about five minutes every month or so...and the date is never centered with the window. My two cents.

Nice Watch. solid, gets lots of compliments. But after wearing it for 9 months, it just stopped. Service is estimated to take 6 to 8 weeks.

Great looking watch with excellent wrist feel. I have had it for a month and not taken it off my wrist yet. Can't believe that Invicta can deliver a watch of this caliber for the price it charged.

If you are interested in automatic watches but don't want to spend thousands of dollars, then this watch may be for you.

br /The Rolex Submariner is the most recognized watch in the world, and in my opinion, the most beautiful. While I could'nt afford the original Sub, I did not want to buy a cheap copy: I was looking for quality. Well, the 9937 is about as close as you can get to the original at only 1/15th of the price. It has it all: solid stainless steel case, bracelet and clasp; swiss movement (gold plated); sapphire crystal; 120 clicks uni-directional rotating bezel; 'real' date magnifier (cyclops); 200m water resistance; exhibition (clear) case back; and extraordinary finish. I bought mine in 2003 and the accuracy is about -1 sec/day (well within COSC requirements). My favorite watch.
