Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Upon noticing this watch, I had a friend tell me how envious he was of me - "I guess you need to get your second kid out of the way before you get to buy your `Submariner.'I have been asking my wife if I could get one for years with no luck."Later that day I told him that I liked the Tag he was wearing."Not as nice as yours" was his response (His Tag cost 12 - 15 times what MY "Submariner" cost).
I have only had this watch for several days, so my review is based upon that experience.I hope to update my review a couple of years in the future.I bought it because my ESQ of 9 years was with the repairperson being cleaned, is having some problems, and ESQ discontinued the model.I have owned Pulsar, Timex, Michel Herbelin, and an ESQ 200M diver and my review will compare my impressions against those timepieces, especially the ESQ.
PROs:
Appearance
Movement
Value
CONs:
Tight Bezel
Luminescence
Grinding screw-down crown
First, this is a STUNNING, beautiful watch!It looks better than the photos.Depending upon the light, the color changes from blue to purple to royal blue.The watch case has Invicta engraved on one side and looks elegant.The Invicta logo wings on the back of the second hand look classy.
The crown has a Swiss cross raised on it and is of the screw-down variety.It threads with a grinding, unnatural feel, and I fear it will mis-thread and fail over time.
The bezel is tight and rotates with great reluctance (an apparent Invicta trait).I use the bezel a lot and am disappointed I will be unable to use it much on this watch.The bezel on my ESQ is near perfect, and I am puzzled why Invicta cannot improve this aspect.
The luminescence is disappointing.When exposed to direct, unfiltered sunlight the lume is initially fine but fades within an hour.My ESQ puts it to shame.
The band (brushed silver links with polished gold links) is fine, looks GREAT, and does not pull my arm hair but does not feel as heavy or as high quality as my ESQ's band (I cannot image what the "folded link" bands on lesser Invictas are like).I have read in these reviews that the 23k gold plating comes off rather easily over time.
The movement is Swiss and seems fine.The second hand hits the watch's tick marks much more precisely than my ESQ.
Overall, I believe the watch is a great value.I chose it because I would have had to move to the $400 - $500 price point to find anything else close to what I liked and Amazon offered a free extended warranty.Although I would not have purchased this watch without the extended warranty, I may purchase other Invicta's without it depending upon my experience with this one.

Invicta Men's 9310 Pro Diver Collection Swiss Quartz WatchProduct Description: The Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Swiss Q Watch is expertly designed for the most avid deep-sea diver, with a water resistance of 660 feet. Constructed with a two-tone-stainless-steel case, this durably built timepiece also includes a unidirectional two-tone-stainless-steel bezel, and a two-tone-stainless-steel link bracelet with a secure fold-over clasp. A durable mineral window shields the royal blue dial face, which features gold-tone dot hour indexes, as well as gold dash minute indexes, and matching gold watch hands. The dial face also includes a convenient date calendar at three o'clock.
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.
