Invicta Men's 6036 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first Invicta.I appreciate nice watches but don't have a Rolex budget. Saw this watch and decided to give it a try.After 2 weeks I am very pleased with my purchase.It is very nice and considering the price I feel it is a great deal.I will definitely purchase other Invicta watches.

This watch will keep time for about 2 days without being wound.I have several automatics and the movement is better than average for less expensive watches.The band is well constructed but a little light considering the weight of the watch.The links are solid, not folded or bent, so I don't anticipate the band being a source of trouble.I am a big guy and still had to remove 2 links, which was very easy with the proper tool.The face is very appealing despite the fact that the numerals (6,9,12) don't contrast with the face enough to be easily seen.They are only visible up close with good light.(This doesn't bother me but I could see it being an issue for some.)The bezel seems to be a bit loose on one side, but isn't a big problem.I like the magnified date window as I can't see the date well on some of my other watches.This watch is large but not overly so.

If my review seems critical, I am only trying to be objective.This is a great watch and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.It is a very visually appealing watch.

Product Description:
Featuring polished and brushed stainless steel throughout, the Invicta Men's Diver Collection Automatic Stainless Steel Watch achieves a classic look. The stainless steel case, bezel, and bracelet complement a black, easy-to-read dial, which features Arabic numerals at the quarter hour as well as luminous hands and hour markers. With high-quality 21 jewel Japanese automatic movement, this watch functions without a battery, using the movement of your arm to power it along. The flame-fusion crystal is highly durable and will protect your timepiece against wear and tear. This Invicta Diver Collection watch is water resistant to 660 feet (200 meters).
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).
