Description:
Invicta's Pro Diver automatic watch (model 9094) is perfect for the serious diver who also wants to turn heads with a stylish watch. This precise timepiece features a solid silver stainless steel case that measures 40mm (1.57 inches) wide, with a blue unidirectional rotating bezel with silver markings and coin-edged, scalloped highlights. It has a deep blue dial background with luminous Tritnite hands (with seconds hand) and dotted luminous dial markers with small minute indexes. The silver stainless steel bracelet band mixes brushed and polished links and is joined by a diver's buckle and safety clasp. Other features include date function at 3 o'clock and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet). p An automatic watch is a mechanical watch that is self-winding. the movement of your wrist and body causes the rotor--a weight attached to an automatic winding mechanism--to wind up the watch. This automatic watch has 21 jewels, which are ruby stones that the gears turn on to protect the metal parts from grinding together. An automatic watch needs no battery, but it will stop if now worn for over a day or if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time. If this happens, wind the crown ten times clockwise to start the watch and five it some reserve power. p Tritnite is a luminous material with an extended glow exclusively developed by Invicta in Switzerland and added to their timepiece hands and markers. When exposed to regular daylight, it will hold its glow for about 20 hours.Get more product details from Amazon

The Invicta 9094 pro diver watch looks like $5,000 of watch hanging on my wrist. It's nothing short of stunning in saphire blue.
br /It's a tough watch and good for people who have outdoor jobs or peform dynamic tasks like engineering test work.
br /The stainless steel bracelet gleams and the watch keeps good time. The bezel also turns easily enough. It is not a "coin edge" like Rolex uses, but "scalloped" like an Omega. That means the wearer cannot turn it from the side like a radio knob. You have to use your thumbs and press down slightly to move it like a wheel, which, of course, it is. There have been some complaints by other reviewers about the Invicta bezels not turning well, but the three Invicta dive watches I've purchased turn with ease after a little use and practice.
br /To recap: Absolutely stunning looking watch at an affordable price. People will notice it and it works well as a tough watch to stand up in extreme environments.

Good Watch, But Dead On Arrival

Amazon shipped the watch very quickly, it arrived two days before they said it would and I was very happy with the weight and styling of the watch. "A good purchase" I think to myself. The only piece of styling I was not happy about was the large magnifier above the date on the watch, which is not visible on the amazon photos. When I pulled out the crown to set the time and date I got that sinking feeling that something wasnt right, and that feeling was followed by the whole crown comming out of the watch. I was able to put it back in and set the time, but setting the date was not possible. I used Amazons online return procedure, filling out an HTML entry field box about the problem and printed out postage and a barcode to put in the box. I took it to the post office and the shipping was free, although the post office was not able to insure the shipment which kind of worried me. That was 4 days ago and I still havent heard anything from amazon about the return, although they did say expect 5-9 days to process returns. I hope it all goes well and I get a replacent watch. I did read about this same problem on other Amazon reviews for similar watches by Invicta, so it is worth looking into before purchasing.
Good value for the money

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.
br /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.
br /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...
br /It also feels sturdy and well-constructed, I haven't had any quality issues with it.

It's not often that you get more than you expect, especially when buying a watch. Although I own over a dozen watches, the Invicta always brings a smile to my face when I put it on. It is solid without being overly heavy, it keeps good time for a mechanical watch, and it looks great.

br /You can spend a lot more for a watch in this category, but you won't necessarily get a lot more watch for a lot more money. This one is a keeper!

This watch is very nice looking and has a solid feel to it. So far its keeping very accurate time. It is a bit chunky so if you have overly small wrists it may be a little bit big but I have smaller wrists (6.75 inches) and I can get by wearing it. Three negatives, it is a hair puller and the edges could be a bit smoother and the clasp is impossible to open for me unless I use something sharp to POP it open. I have fingernails and it's still difficult to open. Overall a great watch for the money and the packaging is beautiful.

A very nice watch; however, I must mention a couple of issues:
br /
br /1) The "Invicta blue" is somewhat purple-ish as others have mentioned. Specifically, in fluorescent light it looks blue, in sunlight it's blue with a hint of purple --but in warm incandescent light it's distinctly purple, especially on the dial. If this bothers you, then you might want to try the black face (8926) instead; no surprises there.
br /
br /2) The luminous dot on the rotating bezel fell out(!) soon after I got it, as I was playing with the bezel. I don't know if it was a defective dot, or if the mounting is normally that flimsy? It seems to be just loose behind the bezel... I re-seated it and it hasn't been a problem since. My other Pro Diver (the 8926) has the same dot and I've never had a problem with it.
br /
br /Despite those issues, I really like this watch. It's the same as the 8926 except for the dial/bezel color, and the "sunburst" reflective pattern on the dial. Personally I found the matte black on the 8926's dial a bit boring, so this watch was an improvement on an otherwise excellent design.

As others reviewers said, if you are not expecting a Rolex, this watch is great. Yes the magnifier is not easy to read, but the watch works pretty fine. The more you use it, more accurate the movement will be, yes it has a 10 to 15 seconds delay over a month (at this price this is extremely precise), but I guess that your future employer won't reject you during a job interview because you arrive 15 seconds late!. While not wearing it, you should use a watch winder, that will keep it working fine. The watch is beautiful, and a little bit heavy, but nothing to get worry. It goes fine with jeans or your business suit. for a 100 bucks, what more are you expecting?. At this price range nothing beats this watch.!!!
Navy blue diver's watch bargain

Wanted to avoid the classic black diver's watch so I had a look at this one. The navy blue finish is superb. I bought the automatic, being a watch fan, but this watch can be found in a bigger format (model 3045) or with a quartz movement (model 9308). Why not five stars? Because the watch looks a bit small after a while. Slightly bigger and heavier would have been better...

I love this watch. I wear it everywhere. I goes with everything. It is really comfortable. The time is almost dead on accurate everytime I check it against Atomic time. The only other watch I have is a Casio G-shock when I am doing work that I don't want to get my Pro Diver dirty and another pro Diver will be bought soon in a black face for wardrobe purposes. Love it Love it Love it!!!

This is one of the best watches you can buy at this pricepoint. The materials that make up this watch are high grade, and durable. This watch has a classic look to it, it is great as a casual watch, a watch to wear to work or for a night on the town.I highly reccomend this timepiece prior to this purchase I thought that Invictas were cheap look alike watches but my perception has been quickly changed. I think that this is a better or comparable watch in styling and finish than many of the "top brands" out their today. I liked this watch so much that I purchased another invicta soon after this one.

I've had this watch for about a month and am amazed at the quality-for-price. I gave my 30-year old Rolex Explorer to my son as a present.
br /I bought this watch because I really miss the Rolex and the Invicta looks a lot like it.
br /I don't see how they can make a watch this good and sell it at that price. It's got the weight, looks and accuracy of a much more expensive watch. If it doesn't last 30 years, you can buy 20 or 30 of them for about the price of a prestige brand. It's a good-looking watch that doesn't betray its price. You have to look closely to tell it's not a Rolex or Omega. Performance-wise they are very close and it won't break your heart if you lose it or someone steals it.
br /It's better than I expected and I am delighted. (Sort of reluctant to praise it too much. Like discovering a good new restaurant, it's tempting to keep it a secret.)

THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING STATING THAT THE WATCH BAND IS EXTRA LONG AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SPECIAL TOOL TO SHORTEN IT, YOU SHOULD ORDER IT.FOR THE REST , SHIPPING WAS ON TIME AND THE WATER RESISTANT WATCH DOES WHAT IT'S SUPPOSE TO DO AND WORKS PERFECTLY...
