Invicta Women's 8940 Pro Diver Collection Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Invicta quartz divers for ladies made ideal Christmas gifts for my granddaughters. They are both swimmers and boaters and will get great use from these elegent watches. For the money - you cannot get a better looking and better made watch.

Case

26mm or 28mm with the crown, the brushed and polished case makes an elegent statement. Screw down crown and stainless steel back is water resistant to 200 meters - qualifying this watch as a Professional Diver. Size of watch face is too small for serious SCUBA diving however - but the water resistance makes this model a great sports watch with fashion and eye appeal on the wrist. Ladies seeking a useful diver from Invicta should consider the men's model with a 40mm watch face with either quartz or automatic movements.

Watch face and Bezel

Watch hands contrast nicely with the white watch face. Lume is standard Invicta - it's weakest point as a diver - not very bright or long lasting either on the hands or watch face indices - poor for a diver. Date appears at the 3 o'clock position. Bezel in Blue and Red enamal is where the watch earns it's nickname "Pepsi" diver. It is solid and smooth unidirectional - 60 clicks around.

Crystal

Mineral glass, scratch resistant - but not as hard as the more desired sapphire.

Bracelet

Bracelet is stainless steel with trademark Invicta solid end links and foldover clasp with divers safety clasp. There is no wet suit deployment clasp. Outer links of brushed ss are scratch resistant - center links prone to scratching. Links are held by pins - as are the clasps. Through rinsing after use especially in salt water will extend the life of the bracelet way beyond rubber, plastic or fabric strapped dive watches.

Movement

Japanese Miyota quartz with battery power. Shock resistance of this movement is superior to more expensive automatic movements. Very good time keeper. These movements should stay within 10/15 seconds per week. Battery should last 3-5 years depending on manufactures source.

Conclusion

Rated 5 stars for unbelievable value. How does Invicta do it for the money? Asian (China) assembled from Japanese, Chinese and other "Asian" parts. Overall quality, fit, finish and reliability is excellent. Sourced from different manufacturers and even different production runs can affect individual quality on some models and styles. Amazon vendors sell this watch at a price that you cannot believe. My granddaughters (13 and 16) LOVE these watches.

Pro Diver Collection
Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance.
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.
