Invicta Men's 9423 Pro Diver Collection Automatic Two-Tone Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this watch and received many compliments on it; this was my third Invicta.I have several watches and when I am not wearing them, they go back into their respective boxes in my dresser drawer.This watch was 7 months old, and the crown broke.I could not adjust the time or date or wind the watch.When I turned the crown counter-clockwise, the crown completely unscrewed.I paid $25 to send it to Invicta.They kept the watch for 2 months and sent it back---still broken.They said they had tried to contact me twice to tell me I owed them $15 to fix the crown.However, not ONCE was there an email from them, a call on voicemail, a letter in the mail.I emailed them twice to ask about the status of my watch, and they never replied.I called customer service the next day and asked why I should have to pay $15 to fix a watch that was 7 months old and had a 5-year warranty.They said only the mechanism was covered under the warranty, not the crown.I asked how anybody could honestly claim that the crown was not considered to be part of the mechanism, since you can't wind the watch or set the time/date without the crown.The guy had no answer, other than to tell me I needed to send it back to them with a check for $15 plus $28 for shipping (they had increased the price $3 in the weeks since I had sent it the first time).

I am thoroughly disgusted with Invicta.I will never buy another one again.Their warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on, and their customer service was less than helpful in offering any solution other than to send them more money.I will spend my money on the more expensive watches and know I'm actually getting a quality product for my money, and the company will stand behind their product and warranty.

If I could give them 1/2 star in this rating, I would.I would like to be able to say that this watch was a good investment for my money, but I cannot say that.I read several places many other complaints about their customer service and refusal to honor their warranty.Not only have they lost me as a customer, but I will tell everyone I come into contact with to never, ever buy any Invicta product.They are total junk and rip-offs.

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.
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).
