Invicta Men's 9204 Pro Diver Collection Silver-Tone Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The face of the 9204 is deep purple/blue pearl.The bezel is mirror polished with semi-gloss silver numbers over a semi-gloss indigo blue background.The face and bezel colors don't seem like they would work together but they do. The case is mirror polished on the side with a satin finish on top. The logo stamped crown screws down with marginal effort and seems to seat smoothly.The name INVICTA is deeply engraved in the case side at the 9:00 position.The case size is listed in the below specs as 40mm but is actually 38mm and is nicely proportional to the band.The band itself has mirror polished center links with satin outer links.These outer links have mirror polished sides.The strap is graduated from 18mm at the case to 15mm at the clasp.The clasp itself is 19mm wide by 35mm long and is a standard double lock affair, well executed with no overtly protruding edges.The clasp finish is thoughtfully satin on top to hide the inevitable scratches with mirror polished sides and the INVICTA name and winged logo engraved across it.All adjusting spring loaded and wire pins seat solidly.The hour and minute hands are perfectly aligned to the hash marks with the second hand landing dead center of each marker as well. Set to the US atomic clock five days ago it has gained slightly less than one second in the interim.

My single complaint is the date magnifier.It is poorly positioned and is not as strong as I would like.

Bottom line:This is a classy dive watch with no visible manufacturing flaws executed in first class materials with what seems to be a stellar quartz movement.It feels and looks solid and compares with $300 and $400 time pieces without excuses.The 9204 would be a legitimate bargain at the MSRP of $195 and could sell comfortably for much, much more.Selling at $69 leaves me wondering if someone has made a terrible pricing mistake in the consumer's favor!

Product Description:
With the affordable silver-tone Invicta Pro Diver SQ quartz men's watch, you can still afford to buy flippers and a pair of goggles. It features a shock-resistant, Japanese quartz movement that will stand up to the rigors of your undersea adventures, and it's water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). It's topped by a blue-plated unidirectional rotating bezel with elapsed time markings in silver and scalloped edges for a firm grip even with diving gloves. The blue dial includes large Tritnite luminous markers and hands (with seconds hand) and a date window at 3 o'clock with a magnifier. Other features include a fold-over clasp with safety and an anti-reflective mineral crystal.
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.
