If like me you are in the market for a decent quality stainless steel bracelet watch from Citizen or Seiko then look no further than the Invicta. I came across this watch when I was browsing Amazon for Seiko and Citizen watches. It looked good on the website, had a good spec and was well priced. I decided to take a punt. I am glad I did. It looks every bit as good as anything from Seiko or Citizen if not better. It is meant to look a bit like a Rolex Submariner and for approximately £100 it is the only time I am ever going to own a watch that comes close to a Rolex. I would recommend this watch to either a collector or someone who is in the market for a good quality automatic watch that won't cost them several thousand pounds. Go on take a punt. I did and was happy with the outcome.

I read many positive reviews on this Invicta watch on amazon, and on many other internet sites prior to making the purchase decision.
I have several quartz watches and have recently hankered after a nice automatic to put in the "collection". I was attracted to the Prodiver on price and its classic diver appearance. I did not want to spend more than £100 so the Invicta fitted the bill perfectly. Its Citizen/Miyota movement dispelled any fears over quality in my mind....This watch appears to cost much more in the UK than elsewhere?
The item was initially out of stock on Amazon UK, and as soon as it appeared in stock again, I ordered the watch and it arrived a few days later. It was immediately very impressed with its appearance, and apparent quality construction. However mindful of removing links from the bracelet before making sure it worked properly, I wound it up manually as per Invicta instructions, and it worked fine............for two hours!!! I followed instructions again and it worked for 30 minutes..!!! I triggered off the self winding mechanism on many occassions to ensure it was not "operator error" causing the problem, but no, the watch was definately defective.
VERY GOOD Amazon service ensured a replacement arrived quickly and the faulty unit was collected by DHL couriers.
Unfortunately, the replacement was again faulty and would only run erratically and unreliably, maybe for two hours maximum. At this stage, I am just wondering if I was unlucky and that Amazon had been supplied with a "faulty batch" of watches by Invicta. The watch is out of stock at Amazon again now, probably withdrawn until quality issues are solved? At this stage I am still tempted to try another when they appear on Amazon, as the nearest competitor in price is a Seiko Orange Monster priced at £166 which is more than I want to spend on a watch for occasional wear.
As a Post Script to the above, on the basis of "third time lucky", I decided to give the Prodiver one more chance when new stock appeared on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, this time price was £83 instead of £96 so fingers crossed!!
Watch arrived ticking away happily and has been fine ever since, gaining something close to 10 seconds in 24 hours, which is fine for a reasonably priced Japanese automatic movement! Bracelet cost £5 for a local jeweller to modify, and the watch looks easily the equal of high priced alternatives in the window of Goldsmiths and similar stores. VERY GOOD quality finish and chunky construction allied to nice "proper watch" movement!! For watch anoraks, a must have at £83!!

Bought this for ease in reading the time without my reading specs on and was very pleased, however as a bonus no end of people have mistaken it as a Rolex Submariner which is really pleasing as it cost a fraction of the price.
Invicta 8926 Automatic Watch August 16, 2010

I bought this watch to replace an identical model which I purchased whilst on holiday in the USA.
You really are getting alot of watch for your money, the automatic movement although Japan Myota and not Swiss is superb and keeps time very well, you never need to worry about changing batteries and I like the fact that you can see the mechanism through the back of the watch.
The solid surgical stainless steel body and bracelet are very well made, overall it looks and feels like a lot more expensive watch, it is very similar to the Rolex Submariner.
A number of online reviews comparing the two watches, remark at how well the Invicta is made and even that the bracelet is better quality than the Rolex!!
Obviously there can be no substitute for a Rolex, but if you are in the market for a goood quality reliable watch that you can wear every day and not worry that you are wearing a small fortune on your wrist, then the Invicta 8926 is a no brainer.
Superb quality and value for money, well done Amazon for bringing it to the UK market at such a competitive price.
Excellent service and delivery time from Amazon again.
